First time in Alton

It was exciting to be staying in an historic hotel. I was comfortable with the fan that was provided given that the UK was experiencing a heatwave when I stayed. A staff member was on hand to assist me with taking my suitcase up the two flights of stairs to my room. The restaurant was excellent!

A decent place to stay. Excellent value for money. Comfortable beds. Lovely bathroom. Very clean. Bring your own toiletries, which I always do. There is a hairdryer. We ate in the pub, the food was lovely. The staff are very pleasant. We will return.

comfortable stay in this old quirky hotel

Always like staying in this hotel with a maze of corridors and levels and quirky features such as the uneven floors due to age. Rooms are always clean and well-presented with the only drawback being a lack of a simple thing as a box of tissues. Skipped the breakfast option on this occasion (£12.50) but I have eaten there and the food is very nice (inc. the breakfast options !).

We were very impressed with our short stay here as we required somewhere to sleep after a wedding that was nearby. We booked 2 rooms for our family and both were very spacious and clean. The staff were very helpful and thought we’d missed the breakfast after getting up late but were able to still get brunch!

Major issue with safety as bedside lamps were hanging by their electrical cord. Also arriving at 5pm the room was not ready as they were short of staff. Quality of food at breakfast was really good but took a long time to prepare and the staff were trying to close the dining area while guests were still eating
