  • You all know I love checking out hotels! Well, I thought I’d stayed in almost all in Southampton, U.K., but I was WRONG! This is our overnight experience at the Fuller’s own White Star Tavern Hotel located in central Southampton! It’s nautical all the way in this boutique hotel with uniquely named and decorated rooms. Here’s the tour and review of the hotel, our room, breakfast, the location and parking arrangements for an overnighter and / or the length of your cruise. What do you think? Have you stayed before and if so which room do you recommend? Post those reviews, comments and questions below. Let’s go!

    Thank you for acknowledging that this hotel is not wheelchair accessible. It's really useful information. I'm new to your channel and cruising, infact I'm embarking on my first cruise in September to Norway on Iona. As a Wheelchair user, it'll be the first time I've travelled on my own! Love your btw i love your channel. xx

    Wow what a brilliant review. We stayed in this fabulous hotel for a night in April and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes it was a bit noisy outside but it is a busy/lively area so expect it. It does die down though. You actually stayed in the same room as my daughter and BF the night before you 😂 the vid brought back a lot of happy memories of our stay and the great food and friendly service. The staff were sooooo chatty. We will be back. Fabulous hotel ❤

    The room looked absolutely brilliant. Loved the wallpaper too. Looking at the room I thought the bathroom was going to be small but was pleasantly surprised at how big it was. Last time I was in Southampton I was visiting relatives who stay up in Shirley, I remember they took us for a meal in a place called The Square Balloon (probably not there anymore) was near the woolworths store in the centre of Southampton.

      @TravelBlogJamie It is going back into double figures when I was last in Southampton. Was when Virgin use to have a direct train from Edinburgh to Southampton. Think the street was called Above Bar Street. I just remember there was a big Woolworths store just along the road.

    Thanks for another fantastic hotel review Jamie 😃 Oxford Street is an amazing part of Southampton to stay in, and the theme looks perfectly nautical!
    Thanks for sharing the children's menu too - that's so helpful (and often missed by others).
    Do you prebook the car parks or just arrive and pay for your planned duration stay?

    Love your blog of the White Star Tavern. I’m staying in June but I’m now a bit conscious of getting my suitcase up the stairs lol. Also the noise nearby and I’m staying on a Saturday night. As I don’t know any hotels in Southampton any tips appreciated. Thanks 😊

      There are so many hotels in Southampton I’ve reviewed on my channel. Staff at white star will help with luggage or anything large they’ll store for you downstairs. It’s a vibrant street so noise to be expected. If you’re worried about this, consider the holiday inn / Leonardo / harbour hotel / Ennios
