Terry
When we arrived the staff were very welcoming and happy to show us to our room
Anything we wanted was no trouble at all
The room was amazingly clean and we presented and the bedding so soft.
The only thing was that the window didn't open enough but that's just a personal preference especially in the heat despite the air con and fan.
The food well what can I say simply amazing
We had 3 courses and each plate was to die for I've eaten in Michelin star restaurants before and that was just as good.
A little pricey but you do get what you pay for.
We will be visiting again in the near future for sure.
Thank you the team of the white star tavern

This was an awesome and to stay out after a cruise. We stayed there three nights. The staff was awesome. The room was wonderful and the breakfast was fantastic. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again. Next time we’re in Southampton..
Gary
Great two night stay
Deborah
We were disappointed with check in. We arrived around noon and all the staff would tell us is our room is not ready til 3pm. Which was fine but they would not tell us the check in process and were quite rude. Grabbed our luggage and more of or less told us to get lost. Very surprising!
I think they make more money by not releasing rooms even if they are ready til 3pm because guests hang around and spend money in the restaurant. Overall the area is nice where this hotel is located however I would not stay here again. No elevator and lugging your own luggage up two or three levels is far from a 5 star or luxury. To be fair breakfast was very good.

James
The room was very comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful!
Gary
What a charming boutique property. Just perfect for a pre cruise stay. The staff is amazing as well as the breakfast and dinner. The location is excellent for walking. Would highly recommend a stay at the White Star Tavern & Hotel.
Garland
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Duane
The room was super small, but the bathroom was decent size with a great shower. We had to store our luggage downstairs at the desk as only our carry ons could fit comfortably on the room.
The breakfast that came with the room was the best we have ever encountered. We could order off the menu which had a good selection w/ great coffee and fabulous service!

A real treasure of an inn, restaurant and tavern in such a historic seaport.
Saudi
Adorable location, no elevator, no \"amenities\" to speak of but a good location and the bar is convenient. The staff is mostly very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend.
Flournoy
What a jewel on Oxford St. Wild about our room and the attention to detail used in the decor. Our welcome was personal and thorough. The location was ideal for the areas we wanted to see like the historic district.
Linda
This was a fabulous place to stay for 2 nights before my cruise. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Service was excellent and friendly. The breakfast was included and it was great! Highly recommend this place if you’re in Southampton!
Robert
The location is fantastic. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with all the amenities. The breakfast and dinner menus provided excellent options and the foods was delicious. Great selection of beers on tap, too. The restaurant staff and hotel staff were all extremely attentive and friendly. If we get the chance to return to Southampton, we will definitely stay at The White Star.
Note: the hotel is at the corner of a hopping night spot on weekends. It can get noisy.

What a find! Loved this place from the moment we clapped eyes on it. Positioned right at the entry to restaurant row Oxford Street, the theme is definitely in keeping with the mammoth impact and relevance of the Titanic to Southampton but without any cringey cheesyness that one might fear in a themed setting. Lovely staff are welcoming and helpful, room utterly delightful, and the breakfast was truly THE best we’ve had at any stay in the UK. Thank you for having us (at such short notice!).

Stayed here several times and had a great stay as always. Didn't eat this time in the evening but had a lovely pint of fullers.
The breakfast was freshly cooked and a great start to the day.

Diane
Our whole experience at this hotel was 2nd to none. Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely young man, ( sorry, forgot his name) who got us checked in then helped us up to the top floor with our cases. Our room was compact but very clean and cosy. Only thing I could fault was we had coffee pods but no coffee machine?? Apart from that small glitch we loved our stay. Breakfast was superb & all the staff were lovely. Would definitely stay here again ...... plus they had lovely beers at the bar!
CHARLES
All of their employees were always most helpful in all matters.

Small and fun hotel with so much history! It was clean and well kept. The rooms are small but well appointed and has everything you need. Breakfast was fabulous and the staff at the bar couldn’t have been nicer! We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Southampton
Nick
Lovely room, great breakfast, friendly staff
Lorianne
Great location. Located on fun filled Oxford st. The room was nice, clean and perfect for a short stay. This is not in a quiet area. With that said we slept just fine. The rooms are well insulated. The breakfast was top notch. Great coffee.

Great room, great service
Andy
Very clean, comfortable, historic hotel. Staff and service second to none. I enjoyed my soak in the roll top bath. It is in a very busy restaurant/nightclub area with music from the neighbouring venues audible until early hours at the weekend but not overly intrusive. We would definitely stay again.
Peter
Excellent
Karen
We loved everything about this stay: the welcoming, cheerful staff, the comfortable boutique room and the fabulous breakfast that had a great choice of pastries, juices, cereals, yogurts and a wide choice for a cooked breakfast. All dietary needs were met. We would definitely stay again, but next time choose one of the rooms with a king size bed rather than a double.

Lovely in room facilities & delicious breakfast. Ease of parking nearby (chargeable) & great selection of local bars & restaurants close too. Ideal for pre/post cruise stay.
Pauline
Very impressed with The White Star Tavern. We will definitely use it again before a cruise.
Charlotte
Great location, comfortable rooms with character features relevant to the Titanic plus with all the little details you notice throughout your stay, like bath bombs, fresh milk in the fridge, dental kits etc. Excellent, friendly staff. Would recommend!
Siobhan
I love The White Star Tavern. The staff are absolutely amazing, nothing is too much trouble for them especially the man and woman wirking the breakfast shift. All the little extras in the room are great. Rooms are lovely, they are clean, warm and well kept. Totally recommend a stay here if visiting Southampton
Carolyn
Nice room with good lighting, which is rare these days! Shane there isn't a plug socket near the mirror so you can use the hairdryer and see what you're doing. Breakfast was average - there wasn't a huge selection and the cooked food was not great in my experience. However, the pains au chocolat and the pains aux raisins were some of the best I've ever had.The staff were very good as is the location.
Gillian

Food was delicious, Jack was a great server. Felt welcome from the first time I entered the White star
Sara
When we arrived on Saturday late afternoon the pubs downstairs and in the neighbourhood were buzzing. I was initially concerned that it might be noisy but it was totally quiet up in the hotel rooms. The room was tasteful and cosy, loved the bathrobe and slippers and the great shower. Comfy bed, black out blinds. Fabulous breakfast. Parking is not provided and is fairly expensive locally.
Neil
Hotel was lovely and clean pleasant staff breakfast was superb

Conveniently located steps away from the Princess Cruises pier (Ocean Cruise Terminal, Berth 46). Historic ambiance and delicious full breakfast included. The room was nicely appointed and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Our stay was perfect, friendly check in, charming room with crystal clean modern bathroom. We had dinner and it was perfect, reasonably priced and delicious. The included breakfast was far far beyond our expectations. Completely enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful pub hotel in the heart of the historic district. However, check first what floor your room is on because you might need to carry luggage up four flights.

This was a lovely place to stay for a few days as we visited family and did some touristy trips.
Even tho' this was above a tavern and in an area with other bars and restaurants, it was very quiet.
Our room was very quaint, the staff were exceptional, the food was wonderful, the breakfast was very good. We had easy street parking.
Our room was clean - tho' very small.
We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

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’
Lee
The best part of this hotel is its staff. They were all very helpful and just delightful. It's not a modern hotel but is very charming. Plenty of great restaurants within walking distance and shopping a 15 minute walk away. We loved this place and would stay here again.
Cheryl
Loved powerful colour palate in room but needed paint touch up in places. Otherwise super clean and comfortable and excellent breakfast, with very prompt friendly service. Would definitely stay again
