The Star Hotel - A historic Victorian-era hotel with a central location, cocktail bar, and family rooms

Located on Southampton's historic High Street, The Star Hotel is a 3-star property housed in one of the city's oldest buildings, featuring traditional Victorian décor. Guests can choose from double, triple, or family rooms, each equipped with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee makers, and en-suite bathrooms. The in-house bar serves a selection of cocktails and wines, while the restaurant offers cooked-to-order breakfasts and dinner with locally sourced ingredients. The Star Hotel is a five-minute walk from West Quay Shopping Centre and Southampton's main bars and restaurants, and a 20-minute walk from Southampton Central train station. Safety features include carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.

Pros

The historic Victorian setting provides a unique atmosphere.

Central location within walking distance of shops, bars, and restaurants.

Family rooms and affordable on-site parking are available.

The in-house bar offers a wide range of cocktails and wines.

Cons

No spa or pool facilities on-site.

Some rooms may face street noise due to the central location.

“What stands out is the location, putting you right on Southampton's High Street, which is a real advantage. The staff's kindness, together with practical perks like on-site parking and a worthwhile breakfast, create a solid base for exploring the city or setting off on a cruise. It has a certain retro charm that makes it a practical, well-located choice.”
