Great property. Would stay here again. Historic, quirky (in a good way). The adjacent bars and night clubs however do tend to create an audible vibe late into the evening.

This is a definite “must stay” location in Southampton!! The hotel is right in the heart of bars and restaurants- all in a pedestrian only area. The breakfast is absolutely incredible- your choices include menu and buffet. The dinners are excellent, can’t say enough about the quality. And finally, the staff! Remarkable!! Helpful, pleasant and totally enjoyable. Will definitely recommend!!

We spent two nights at the White Star Tavern hotel. The rooms are lovely and quite luxurious. The breakfast was excellent. The only issue we had was a small dog lives in a small apartment at the back of the hotel. When we went out to the rooftop garden it bit my foot and ripped my husband's shoes.
