Short stay in southampton

Very traditional tavern. Loved the vibes in this old English spot. Tons of history all through the building. A must see and stay. Breakfast was amazing and staff were super helpful and friendly
Rina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely venue & the staff were amazing. We were in one of the ‘cosy’ doubles which was plenty big enough & lovely to be provided with proper drinking glasses, coffee maker & even a teapot! Only downside was when we enquired about the roof terrace, members of staff didn’t think they’d got one & on exploration it was ‘out of order’
Tina, 2-night trip

Carolyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check-in went very smoothly which was really appreciated after a long day of overnight travel. The full breakfast included with the room was great!
Walking distance to the port!
Cozy but authentic
Fish and chips on the patio!

Local Flavor

People were very helpful and accommodating. We selected this hotel due to its location near the cruise ship port. The hotel is above a bar on a street closed to traffic. There are a variety of restaurants with everything from pizza to fillet moon nearby. This was a perfect place to stay for a few days prior to cruising. Great breakfast provided too!!
James, 1-night trip

The White Star was absolutely amazing little hotel and perfect for our short stay. The staff could not have been more welcoming and Zach the bartender makes a wonderful French martini.

Made my trip

Oh, where do I start? Super polite helpful staff, amazing breakfast, thick fluffy towels, loads of pillows, cloud-like bed, fabulous shower, complimentary beer and water, and real milk in my fridge, gorgeous toiletries, clean comfortable room, v cool bathroom nightlight and good price. Sadly waa too tired to sample the bar and dinner on arrival but the menu looked lovely.

Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel right at home. The rooms were very cozy. My husband is a very tall man but it didn’t feel confined. The bedding and bathroom were very plush and welcoming. We slept like a baby. Breakfast was very good with more choices than most places. Kudos to the staff on making us feel at home!

Our stay was great! The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was very good. And it was close to the port.
