Royal Crescent Apartment with Parking, Ocean Village

Summary:

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms for up to six guests: a king room with an en suite, a twin room with two single beds, and a sofa bed for two in the living room. The apartment comes with a free allocated space in the building's underground car park, and it's step-free with a lift and wide doorways. Ocean Village marina is about 3 minutes on foot and the Ocean Cruise Terminal about 11, so it suits families, friends and cruise passengers alike.



The Space:

Sleeping

UK bed sizes: a king is similar to a US queen, and a single to a US twin.

Bedroom 2: two single beds.

Living room: sofa bed for two.

Beds are made up with fresh linen for arrival, and the bedrooms have blackout blinds.

Getting in

The keys and building fob are collected from a staffed KeyNest point in a High Street newsagent, about 13 minutes' walk away and open from 9:30 am. Your code and directions arrive before your stay.



Travelling with children

Children and babies are welcome. The twin room suits children well, and the lift makes a pushchair easy. There is no cot or high chair, so please bring a travel cot if you need one.



Bringing your dog

Up to two dogs are welcome, and a pet fee applies.



Good to know

St Mary's Stadium is about 16 minutes away, so local streets are busy on match days, but your parking space is reserved for you.



Guest Access:

Guests have the whole apartment. Check in from 4 pm to 9 pm after collecting the keys, and check out by 10 am. Your free space is in the underground car park, entered by fob from Albert Road; it has a 2-metre height limit. A second car can use pay parking on the street.



The Neighborhood:

The building is beside Ocean Village, Southampton's marina district. Walking times: marina, restaurants and cafés 3 minutes, Ocean Cruise Terminal 11, Town Quay and the Isle of Wight ferries 12, the Bargate and St Mary's Stadium 16, WestQuay 19, City Cruise Terminal 24 and the Mayflower Theatre 28.
