A nice small hotel with clean rooms and a friendly staff. The bar has at least one special ale on tap and reasonable priced drinks. The restaurant features a good breakfast included with the room rate. The Blue Keys is an excellent value. Will stay here again when crusing out of Southampton.

Quick and helpful in making the booking at this promising looking small hotel. Good impression on arrival, and staff continued the helpful attitude. I ate good suppers in the decent bar area and generous breakfasts in the restaurant. All with that good service. Where things came unstuck were on the basics of a hotel stay. Sleep was a problem the... More

Nice quaint atmosphere. Great location with free parking. Rooms spotless and the double room we had was very spacious. Staff welcoming and always on hand. (We had a problem with our shower and it was fixed instantly). As previously mentioned, the food was very, very good. We would stay again.

My 4th or 5th visit to the Blue Keys, it is always good, never perfect, but the best hotel in Southampton. Rooms are clean, beds comfortable, food outstanding, staff welcoming, hard working and mainly efficient. It's a great location, quiet and provides value for money. Will be back there again soon
