“Great place for overnight stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2012 NEW

My partner and I were invited to a surprise birthday party of a dear friend who originated from Southampton so we needed accommodation. This was one of two places suggested to us and it was a great choice. Perfectly central. Meter parking outside or long stay a short distance. Comfortable room with a very comfortable bed. Downside...it is city centre... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 24, 2012

After catching up with friends in Hampshire we wanted a convenient overnight stay somewhere in the city centre so that we could comfortably have a meal and a walk out to the Waterfront. This hotel was ideal, it was very comfortable (lush bedding and towels!), everything we needed and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Although this boutique hotel... More

“Bar and restaurant frontage hides a surprisingly great overnight experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2012

A warm welcome, excellent food in the restaurant and everything you could wish for in the room. Rain shower, safe, free wifi, water, teas and coffee in the room. We had room 4 which was a good...

“Charming, convenient, & friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 27, 2012

We stayed at the White Star in April 2 because we were taking the Titanic Memorial Cruise and we were interested in the White Star theme. This boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. The room (Endeavour) was roomy and very clean, and the linens, bed and shower were all very comfortable. We had tons of luggage for the cruise, so the... More

“Exactly what we hoped!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2012

We stayed for 5 nights, and slept well, even with jetlag, the bed was comfy, and the room quiet.All staff are helpful and freindly. We asked for a quiet table in the restaurant even though a band was playing, and they gave us a private area near the back, where we enjoyed a fantastic meal with freinds, and a delightful... More

We stayed here for 1 night to visit the Sea City Museum, and it was within walking distance of the venue. When we arrived at the White Star we were shown upstairs to check in, and the gentleman at the desk was friendly and took his time to explain to us the access codes to get through the door, and...
