The White Star Tavern

The check in process was very easy, just took us some time to find the place because we thought it is separated from the pub but the reception is actually right in it so just walk straight in! Room was very cozy and equipped, very thoughtful to provide us with all the basic amenities plus additional items such as water, beer, milk, chocolate, coffee for coffee machine and even a postcard! Staff was really friendly and helpful as well. The breakfast was also really amazing - you get to choose a main and a drink from their breakfast menu on top of a mini buffet spread that offered some really good pastries, salamis, cheese and more, so be sure to leave some extra time in the morning to enjoy it! However, there was a club opposite the place that was opened slightly pass midnight when we were there and if you're a light sleeper be sure to pack some ear plugs to go to sleep early. One of the corners of the wall also had a slight mold issue because the condensation from the bathroom must have caused that in the long run but it shouldn't be a huge concern though it will be nice if that gets fixed!

Great stay in Southampton, well furnished comfortable room with lots of added extras, breakfast was fantastic, would recommend a stay here, close to the centre of Southampton.

Superb breakfast included everything from hot eggs and toast to full English breakfast. Delightful staff very friendly and efficient. Comfortable room with all amenities. Full bar that locals visit in evenings. We made friends with several during our five days stay. Would recommend charming historic White Star Hotel for everyone. Had just the best time.

Lovely hotel, beautiful pub / restaurant and amazing staff. The area was lovely and only a short walk to the main shopping complex.

This property is in a perfect location, close to many restaurants and a 5 minute walk to the cruise port, staff are excellent, rooms are nicely appointed, bar fridge has complimentary beer and water! Nice treat! Food is excellent especially the breakfasts! We will be staying here in future! Thank you White Star for making our trip special!!!

Great location for us, it made for an easy walk to the cruise ship terminal. Enjoyed the meal and pints in the restaurant.

Really nice rooms, complimentary drinks and tea/coffee were good. Beakfast was great and came with the price of the room and parking nearby was cheap and easy to get to the hotel from.

A really lovely hotel. Staff were all great, room nice (showers excellent, comfy beds) and there were lots of nice touches (coffee machine, real milk for tea...). Breakfast was incredible. Location is very good - lots of nice dining options nearby if you dont want to 'eat in'. There is no parking however you can street park if you're just staying the night (parking is limited to 4 hours but overnight is free) - if your stay is longer then there is surface parking a block away and ocean village has a multi-storey car park.... highly recomended

This review is a little difficult to write because of the situation that brought us and other travelers here. There was a delay in boarding our cruise, so I booked two rooms here before they sold out. Almost immediately I received an email that there is no lift/elevator at the hotel, so please plan to pack an overnight bag and they would store our luggage in a secure location. That was fine with us. We arrived about an hour before check in time. They would not check us in early and said they could not take our luggage. Their luggage room was full already. So we had lunch with all our bags and went back in at 2:55 PM. Again the attendant said check in time was 3 PM. A little after 3 we were checked in and two young guys who worked there helped carry our luggage upstairs and we were told no guys would be working the next morning so getting our luggage back down would be our responsibility. I’m not sure I have to say anything further here. This is the way it is there. I am still waiting for them to send me a receipt for my payment, which I need in order to get reimbursed from the cruise line. I’m not holding my breath. The only plus here was the size of the bathrooms.
