Starboard Stays is located in the heart of historic Southampton, 2 minutes’ walk from bustling Oxford Street. It offers a stylish lounge bar and luxurious rooms with free WiFi.

Rooms at Starboard Stays are individually decorated. Each has a flat-screen TV, tea/coffee making facilities and a smart en suite bathroom.

Its unfair this place doesn't have a 10 star review therefore, I'm giving it the stars it deserves. The room was incredibly clean and cozy. After check-in I had a small issue that wasn't noticed until the middle of the night and when I brought it to staffs attention - they jumped into action immediately/without question to make sure I had what I needed and I couldn't be more appreciative. Also note they responded to me within minutes, in the middle of the night. Just message via whatsapp and you'll be responded to quickly. There was another review from someone mentioning the rooms were "noisy," and I'm here to tell you they were NOT. I'm a light sleeper and I slept like a rock in the extremely comfortable bed that felt like diving into a cloud. You don't hear the bar downstairs at all (its also not opened late) and yes you can hear traffic...when the window is open. You kind of have to pull a bit to get the window to close fully but once shut you cannot hear ANYTHING from the street. My partner and I literally sat at the window with our dinner just waiting for large trucks, cars, box tracks, and tractor trailers to drive by while opening/closing the window as they were passing to see how much you could hear....nothing. If the window is shut properly you will sleep soundly even if you're a light sleeper. This place is also situated right outside of a small medieval town that you have to walk through to get to Southampton cruise terminal. It's about a 25 minute walk from the cruise terminal too which is completely lined with walk ways so you can feel confident about navigating traffic with your luggage to get there. Overall I would highly commend the location, comfort, and attentiveness of the staff and would 10/10 recommend staying in this location. ESPECIALLY if you have a cruise to go to :)

    The White Star Tavern was perfect. Great location in the city, walkable to the cruise port, and the room was very comfortable and spacious. We had a delicious dinner in the pub downstairs and an outstanding breakfast in the morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. Could not have asked for anything better.
