Great from the start to the finish , staff to mention Bridget Jack and Adessa . So lovely to talk to and so kind if offering support . We went to meet up with friends going on a cruise , checked in beforehand and talked to Bridget who was so friendly and welcoming . We wanted to stay two nights but the hotel was fully booked for the second night so Bridget suggested another nearby so we could still meet up with our friends . The restaurant was so lovely , the food great and again the hotel staff so friendly . Although we had checked out the next day we were made to feel welcome anytime after that . Breakfast was superb ( in with the price) . There were plenty of places to explore within walking distance and people on cruises should know this hotel is a must , it’s so near the cruise port and if you have a car you can park it on the cruise port for your convenience . There were plenty of suggestions where to explore whilst we were there . If we do a cruise from Southampton in the future we will certainly return to the White star where we know we will be welcomed but next time we will book a few days before And a day after we return from the cruise there is so much to see . A big thank you to all of you at White Star we will be back !!! Ps missing you already !!

Staff was super friendly and engaging. Gave us all the ins and outs of facility then walked us to our room. Love that they asked if need taxi service for next day and automatically set it up for you. The entire establishment was quaint and beguiling. Breakfast was amazing! There’s some continental but also you can order from full menu. We wanted to have light breakfast so ordered all the sides we liked rather than the big plates. Food was amazing 🤩. Will come back for more enchantment ♥️

We enjoyed 3 great nights before our cruise. All the staff were great. The included breakfast was fabulous! We were able to walk from the bus station to the hotel easily and then on the morning of our cruise it was an easy 10 minute walk to the ship. I would definitely recommend The White Star.

We stayed at the White Star Tavern the night before a cruise. I chose this hotel because we prefer places that are unique and not part of a chain of hotels. We were not disappointed! The check in process was smooth and we were asked what time we would like a cab take us to the cruise port. That was a pleasant surprise. Our room was small

Had a great staff and friendly. Would stay again. Only thing I rated lower is no lift in facility. But staff brought my luggage to my room and down also. Small cozy boutique hotel. Only 16 rooms on 3 stories.

Lovely pub/hotel with a great vibe. Titanic theme. Cosy room. Friendly staff. Huge breakfast with many options. Only negative was that there was no lift so bags were dragged up a couple of flights of stairs. Otherwise…fantastic!

The property is centrally, located on a busy bar and restaurant District. That makes the location very attractive to majority of the people. They also worked with us and made it accommodating for us because of the stairs and not having a lift. We would recommend itp to anybody who is looking to come to the city.
