“What stands out here is the practicality; it's a budget option in a prime location near the Mayflower Theatre and the train station, notably including free parking. The rooms are simple, with kitchenettes, though the heating can be inconsistent. In my view, this place works best as a base for seeing a show or getting around town, as long as you're not too sensitive to the cold.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Circle Guest House offers spacious rooms, with some even featuring a little kitchen area with coffee and tea. Its central location provides easy access to the train station, SeaCity Museum, and the cultural quarter. Many guests appreciate being within walking distance of the port, approximately 20-25 minutes away, as well as restaurants and city centre attractions; however, some have noted that the furniture and bedding could use updating. The clean, shared kitchen equipped with a fridge, cooking stove and toaster makes it a good value for money.

vintage decorcentral locationextensive parking
the room was better than i expected, it had a nice vintage decor with chandelier! location was very central. extensive parking was at the back of the hotel. i liked that it had a microwave and fridge in the room, though i didn't use either on this occasion.
i wasn't sure if my bed was freshly made as the linen was quite rumpled! apart from a mug, a small glass and a teaspoon, no other cutlery or china was provided.

Acceptable, but Room for Improvement

convenient locationrough towelsstale smoke
The location was convenient enough.
The room smelled faintly of stale smoke. It was unpleasant. The towels felt thin and rough, and the bed linen seemed worn. The shared bathroom could have been cleaner. There were some hairs in the shower stall.
