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!

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!!

Nice atmosphere, because it’s a tavern and bars all around it, it was loud at night with music.

White Star is an excellent small hotel right in the middle of town with lots of options nearby. The rooms are small but extremely comfortable and clean. Free breakfast and amazing lunch and dinner options.

Beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Southampton. Close to cruise terminal. Extremely friendly staff, especially Bridget, the hotel manager, and Jack! Great history with this building regarding the Titanic. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Southampton!

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 ♥️
