We enjoyed 3 great nights before our cruise. All the staff were great. The included breakfast was fabulous!
We were able to walk from the bus station to the hotel easily and then on the morning of our cruise it was an easy 10 minute walk to the ship.
I would definitely recommend The White Star.

Had a great staff and friendly. Would stay again. Only thing I rated lower is no lift in facility. But staff brought my luggage to my room and down also. Small cozy boutique hotel. Only 16 rooms on 3 stories.

The property is centrally, located on a busy bar and restaurant District. That makes the location very attractive to majority of the people. They also worked with us and made it accommodating for us because of the stairs and not having a lift. We would recommend itp to anybody who is looking to come to the city.

Great property. Would stay here again. Historic, quirky (in a good way). The adjacent bars and night clubs however do tend to create an audible vibe late into the evening.
