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.

I didn’t have time to stay for Breakfast but it looked amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful. The building is a delightful example of a traditional coaching house and in perfect location to explore the area and attractions. My room was cosy and comfortable with everything I needed. Will definitely try and book here again next time I have an event to attend in the area.

When you consider that the hotel started its life as a coaching house in the 1840s it is nigh on 200 years old! It is quirky and still has the feel of buildings that were designed at the time - it has great character, is very comfortable and ideally situated in the city centre. The management clearly take a lot of pride in the hotel. Great place.

The initial greeting was not welcoming as the receptionist was focussing on his computer instead of greeting us as guests He also never said good morning or greeted us when we went in or out However, Michael who did the breakfast was completely different and he was more than welcoming and helpful and the breakfast was amazing and he is a great ambassador for the hotel. The whole ambience of the hotel was tasteful seeing as it was an old building that had been updated in as very tasteful and respectful manner with seating areas and old paintings and tasteful furniture on every level. The price for the stay was way below what I expected and more than good value for money This hotel also is sited in the middle of the shopping complexes and could not be better located If you want a cheap but really good hotel in Southampton, then this is the place - highly recommended by myself and my colleague so well done Star Hotel
