The staff was wonderful and helpful. We had an early morning flight and they were able to schedule us a taxi that arrived promptly. We loved the room. It was well appointed and we really enjoyed the towel warmer. After traveling all day, it was just the rest we needed.

Great pub hotel.
We booked 3 rooms for one night prior to a cruise. The hotel is comfortable, friendly staff. Nice toiletries. Lovely tea and coffee in the room. We had a pleasant evening meal. (There was a 10% discount as hotel guests) The rooms do face the street and a busy junction with several bars and restaurants nearby means there is noise and music outside. (Earplugs found in bedside table were a good bonus!) We would be happy to stay again. Thank you Bridget and Team.

Our stay was perfect
Everything was very clean and all of the staff were friendly. Young man carried luggage up the 4 flights of stairs. We ate in the restaurant 3 times and all of the food was delicious.

We loved the rich history of The White Star and how it has been decorated and preserved to reflect that history. Our room was comfortable with every amenity that one might want or need. The location was convenient for walking to the high street and many local attractions. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The only drawback for us was that our room was on the top floor and there were quite a few stairs to get there. Good exercise, but next time we will request a room on a lower floor. We highly recommend The White Star

Lovely place to stay
Lovely place to stay before our cruise, would stay again. But noisy at the front according to our friends so ask for a room at the back. Great facilities in the room, the local area was buzzing.

The greatest part of this hotel besides the amazing staff ( Jake, Zach and Bridget ) was the history of the property, not realizing the name of the property White Star Tavern was associated to the Titanic, Every were in the hotel where pictures and historical facts of the Titanic and the White Star shipping company. The rooms were cosy and quiet even though it’s above a tavern you never heard noise. There’s no lift but it’s like walking up the stairs at home and you leave your luggage downstairs locked in a room and take an overnight bag to your room. We loved the charm and character of the hotel and restaurant. Easy walk to the cruise terminal or a 5 minute cab ride

It is in the middle of multiple bars. it was really noisy with loud music and people noise until 2AM and then, hotel guests who partied late came into the hotel and partied around until 3AM in the sitting area that is located just outside of our room. We reserved a supposedly a nice room. The hotel tried to add additional window to block the noise, but it really did not help much. What really made us crazy was that the walls and door in the Inn was so thin that we were able to hear everything outside of the door. Also, no elevators at this location. So, we had to walk up third floors with bags. We could not sleep all night. Their food is OK, cleanliness is OK, and the location is convenient to walk to places and good dining options. We will not stay here again.
