3-star Grade II listed coaching inn in Southampton city centre
History & Character
The Star Hotel is a Grade II listed former coaching inn situated on Southampton's High Street. This Victorian-era building once hosted Queen Victoria during the 1800s, a fact marked by the hotel's historical connection to the Royal Family. Guests enter through a lobby that retains original architectural details, including sash windows and a manually operated lift with a cage-style gate.
Location & Accessibility
The hotel sits 450 metres from West Quay Shopping Centre and 650 metres from Southampton Port, which serves cruise ship terminals and ferries to the Isle of Wight. Southampton Central Train Station is less than a mile away, making the property accessible by rail. Nearby attractions include Mayflower Park and Tudor House Museum, both within walking distance.
Rooms & Accommodations
Bedrooms are equipped with a TV, telephone, and tea and coffee-making facilities, with most rooms offering en suite bathrooms and some featuring four-poster beds. Family rooms accommodate up to four guests, and the hotel offers a variety of options including family and bridal suites. Earlier check-in and later check-out times are available compared to major chains, subject to availability.
Dining & Bar
The hotel's Lounge Bar serves a selection of cocktails and wines, with a range of drinks including champagne available on request. Breakfast includes a cooked-to-order full English option with cereals, yoghurts, and fruit juices, served until 10:00. The hotel does not operate an evening restaurant, but the central location places many restaurants and cafes within a two-minute walk.
Parking & Services
On-site private parking is available for £6-£7 per night, with approximately 20 spaces accessed through an arch at the rear of the hotel. The 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage, express check-in/check-out, and multilingual staff who assist with guest communication.
