Great property. Would stay here again. Historic, quirky (in a good way). The adjacent bars and night clubs however do tend to create an audible vibe late into the evening.

We spent two nights at the White Star Tavern hotel. The rooms are lovely and quite luxurious. The breakfast was excellent. The only issue we had was a small dog lives in a small apartment at the back of the hotel. When we went out to the rooftop garden it bit my foot and ripped my husband's shoes.

Fun and full of life

Great location, if you like buzzing nightlife and great people watching. The bars around are loud but everything winds down around midnight. Room and hotel clean, comfortable and well appointed. Like the no fuss approach to the room and breakfast i.e. everything included. Good coffee and tea in the room and a good choice for breakfast. Staff all friendly even the bouncers.

Lovely tavern/hotel In Southampton, near the cruise port. Very friendly staff, comfortable safe accommodations and good food. The only negative is, no elevators, but that is made clear when booking. The White Star will store your luggage, if you don’t want to carry it upstairs yourself. We had packed a carry on for our one night stay.

We came to Southampton the day before we left on a cruise. We stayed at this lovely hotel for one night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. One word of warning, however, is there is no elevator in the hotel. We had to walk up four 10 star flights of steps to get to our room. But other than that, the stay was wonderful. The hotel is located in a very fun area of the city with numerous bars and restaurants on a closed off street with outdoor seating. It was a very lively area. We would definitely return. The lack of an elevator would’ve been no problem had we known and packed just a small overnight bag because they are willing to store your large suitcases on the first floor.

Was very nice. Rooms are a bit garish, but part of the charm I suppose. Very clean and staff is friendly and helpful. Great part of town for walking and dining. Be prepared to carry luggage up narrow stairs, but they well advise you of that. Only complaint was street music and noise until after midnight. Was within reason though.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Initially we thought the building was quite nice and the room was nice and cosy. There was pretty much everything we needed but a few things missing such as spoons for tea and coffee. A few down points, my pillowcase wasn’t changed the few nights I was there and on the final night I had to ask for a new pillowcase which I had to change myself, after specifically asking for a clean in the room as the night before only the bed was made, there was rubbish left around the room, the carpet was very dirty, one of the teacups was quite dirty, most annoyingly, the coffee machine wasn’t working properly and there was no tray to put the cup on. The staff downstairs were lovely but unfortunately, the cleanliness of the room really wasn’t good for us, considering we wanted to just relax and have a little luxury.
