The White Star Tavern

Very friendly. A lot of...

Liked: Excellent breakfast
Disliked: No space.For personal items in bathroom

A hotel full of character

Liked: Lovely, characterful rooms. Vintage in feel but clearly been recently decorated in the style. Restaurant and bar downstairs were good.
Disliked: No lifts so tell your female counterpart to pack lighter than mine did! No parking (though there is a paid public carpark a short walk away).

We would book it again...

Liked: The inn was a short taxi ride from the Cruise Pier and we arrived about 9:30 am. Bridgit was very welcoming upon arrival, and we were able to store our luggage and start our Southampton experience. The location, on a historic street, was wonderful and within easy walking distance of everything we needed or wanted to see. Upon check in at 3, the staff helped us with our luggage. Jack, the waiter was a hoot and helped us with breakfast, which was delicious. The atmosphere was what we had envisioned as a classic British Pub. Our room was small but the bathroom was wonderful.
Disliked: The smallness of the room was a little inconvenient, but understandable given the historic nature of the building. Being a pub. and across a busy street from other pubs, there was some background noise early in the night, but not enough to disturb our sleep.

Great find!

Liked: Great location! The breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. The manager was extremely helpful and kind. Room was well designed and comfortable.
Disliked: It’s above a tavern, so you may need to use the earplugs provided in the bedside table.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing! It was perfect staff were very friendly and helpful

Great location in a comfortable...

Liked: Great location near the docks, shops, pubs and clubs. Easy walking distance of the walls and other historic sites. Excellent nightlife nearby. Despite the bar below it was quiet. Breakfast was a highlight.

great time would return

Liked: excellent location in hotel with history (titanic). Bed was comfortable, place clean and food was great with breakfast included. The real shining light on The White Star was the staff, I can't say enough about how friendly, helpful and accommodating they were. The history of Southhampton was very informational involving the Titanic, shipping history including the Mayflower and their huge roll in the second world war, air and sea, among other historic events. And for those interested they have a huge mall and shopping area within walking distance.
Disliked: The only issue is you do get some outside noise which really didn't affect our sleep except for one night a bar across the street cranked up the volume and partied till 11 or 12 pm
