All of the staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and a good size. The breakfast was tasty and had a good variety of items in their buffet. The location of the hotel is perfect, being only a block away from Barsgate and central to everything in Southampton. We would definitely stay here agsin!

No complaints.

Check in was efficient.
Staff were knowledgeable n friendly.
Breakfast was very tasty.
Overall it was good value, thanks
We came back to The Star as we stayed here 18 months ago. You simply can’t beat their location. Pubs, restaurants, shopping, old Southampton and its heritage building. And the history of the Titanic.
I stayed in a tiny room for one night. The hotel is good, actually the breakfast and staff are very good. Well located, with a parking lot in the back. Lots of restaurants and bars around.
Staff are excellent throughout, breakfast was excellent however the acvommodation in general is run down and in need of decorating and repair. If only the owners put tbe same effort into the business as their staff do!
I shall not be staying there again.
Parking was good but you need to be early to het parked. Can be tight depending on vehicle size. We had room on high street which was very noisey so not best. Room its self was spacious and bathroom huge. Tv didnt work which was disappointing as all i wanted to do after our journey and meal was watch tv in bed. Would I stay again yes
The hotel is clean and friendly although the reasonable price is reflected in the fact that it is stuck in the 1980s, with poor wardrobes and rough shower room finishes. It was perfect for a quick overnight stay and is very centrally situated.

The hotel is old (but interesting) and needs a lick of paint here and there but the room was very clean. Bathroom with shower very good. Very nice double bed too. Breakfast was buffet style, was good though no fruit. No problem with Wi-Fi. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Excellent location for eateries and seeing old Southampton. Good value and would stay there again.
