Excellent location as I needed to get to Southampton Airport early in the morning. Pleasant room, well-equipped with TV, wifi, kettle, and a comfortable bed. Adjacent bar/restaurant (offering live music when I was there) had good food and a wide range of drinks at very reasonable prices with seating both inside and outside - no need to go any further to eat. The hotel also appears to offer a package for airport users with the possibility of leaving your car in the hotel parking (if I understood it correctly) which I might be interested in doing next time.

Nothing much, although I could have done with more sockets in the room and in more convenient places - like next to the bed.

We were allocated a room on ground floor with a walk in shower as requested, which was perfect for us. Able to park car on disabled bay so not too far to walk. Breakfast was very good.

Had to go outside to restaurant which was ok but would not be pleasant in bad weather. Could only find one electrical socket and also light switches were a long way from bed, so had to get out to switch them off anyway. Decor and carpet looks a bit tired.

I've stayed here several times before and always enjoy it - the staff are very friendly and there is a unique atmosphere to the place, as well as easy access both to local walks and short journeys into Southampton and Winchester. The room is comfortable and food good and reasonably priced.

I was expecting to have breakfast included in the cost - that was what Booking.com had originally advertised - but when I got there it wasn't included after all. No big deal - breakfast is only £12.95 and there's plenty of it. There was some renovation going on in the hotel itself which meant that the carpets were covered in protective coverings - extra care needed on the stairs! - but again, this didn't impact on my stay in any way.

Set in peaceful surroundings, very welcoming. Rooms all named after jazz musicians. Very comfortable. Lots of drawers and hanging space. Breakfast and dinner were in the Moldy Fig next door. Amazing food, staff were lovely and extremely helpful. Lovely quirky place dedicated to jazz. At dinner we had a French singer, a lovely lady with a beautiful voice, who enhanced our dining experience, making it feel like a special occasion. Breakfast was served until 11 am so we were able to go to parkrun then back in time for a delicious cooked breakfast and a continental buffet. A short walk from the hotel took us to a lake with geese and goslings.

Nothing, it all exceeded our expectations.

This is a lovely friendly hotel on the edge of Eastleigh Country Park. Staff are really pleasant and helpful and that includes housekeeping. I had a lovely double room with garden terrace and a good size en suite with a walk in shower. Everywhere was really clean, the bed was super comfy and I had a large tv with loads of channels, apps etc. Breakfast was really good and the staff really nice. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you for a super stay Ellington Lodge 😃

Our flight home was cancelled so we booked last minute and arrived around 10pm. The lady at the counter was extremely helpful and booked my taxi back to the airport for me for around 6.50am the following day. We were only there a few hours, but the bed was lovely, room nice and clean, good-sized, clean bathroom, wifi with no issues and no captive portal, and coffee facilities that were much needed for the AM start we had. Would definitely stay again.

We have stayed at and reviewed this hotel several times which tells its own story. We use it before and after a ferry sailing from Portsmouth because we live in the North of England. Good location, pleasant grounds, off road parking, very nice people, comfortable rooms and the Moldy Fig restaurant has a good bar, local beers and the food is excellent in the evening. We will return. Good breakfast too.

nothing to speak of

It’s always a pleasure staying at Ellington Lodge. Always helpful, welcoming staff. It’s always a nice experience staying there when you are attending a gig at the Concorde Club. Always great food next door at The Fig. You feel like you’re on a little holiday where everything is on site! We got food delivered late in the evening to the hotel and the gentleman on reception noticed this and offered us plates. Nice little touch I thought.

Dinner was VeryGood. Not all of the menu was available, but the quality of food was excellent. Breakfast was. excellent too. My wife had fresh fruit - a mixture of melon and pineapple. The full English was freshly cooked and couldn't be faulted.

A broken seat on the toilet, which front desk said would one fixed before the next guest. A small thing that would gave made the world of difference ---- fresh milk for tea

The location was ideal for my needs. Both dinner and breakfast were good, with plenty of choice (breakfast) but dinner was less so. Staff did try to help where they could, this was primarily in the Concorde as this is where food is served.

Have been several times, but noticed some deterioration. Such as small holes in chairs, one in our room, and one chair in dinning area was damaged. It’s looking a bit tired! Primarily in the actual hotel. Not warned on second night to book for dinner and that there was a function on so limited space.
