The good: This is a nice hotel in a great location, and the people who work there are absolutely wonderful. Fiona, who checked us in, and the young men who carried our luggage up and down the many stairs were very nice, polite, and accommodating. We thought it was so nice when we arrived, that even though the kitchen was... More

The rooms are above the bar and restaurant so not the quietest, but if you are hoping for a superb night away in a very trendy area this is perfection. Comfy, smart, luxurious with a superb breakfast. The bar was full of trendy people with a lovely atmosphere and is a quirky mix of old and bang on trend new.... More

I stayed here for one night mid week. As I booked at the last minute, and we are in the christmas season they unfortunately had no availability for dinner, however I do not view that as a negative on this review. From the moment I arrived I felt that I was superbly looked after. Shown from the bar through to... More

Popped in here on spec for lunch during a shopping trip to Southampton. Would classify this as a gastro-pub and extremely good it was too, certainly ticked all the boxes. Very interesting menu and about as far removed from pub grub as you can get. The only very minor criticism we might have had was that the food took a... More

We were due to sail from Southampton for the first time and were looking to spend some time in Southampton before we set sail. The staff were extremely helpful and communicative in both the booking of a room and when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they helped put our minds at ease throughout our short... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in this hotel just for one night but have to say that we would have spent more time if we could. Our bedroom was very clean and bed confortable. The bathroom was big and clean. The wardrobe was very small so if you stay longer just let them know you need more space. Apart from... More

We booked The White Star for our wedding night in a Superior Room with bath. Because the website claims that The White Star is "5 Star Accommodation", we automatically assumed that this meant room service would be available as no other 5 star hotel we have ever stayed in before did not have this service available. However, once we had... More
