It is a very old building, the floors in the old part of the building including in the rooms are uneven and sloping to such an extent it is uncomfortable to walk on. The wiring gave cause for concern as the plug sockets were hanging off the walls.

Would have been nice to know that parking was at the back of hotel before hand. I know it’s an old building, but didn’t expect the curtains to blow as was rather windy outside. Looked like secondary glazing had been taken out. Actual wood work on windows was extremely dirty. Must say bathroom was spotless & bed was comfy.

Windows are only single-glazed, so even when it was shut it still felt like it was open. I could hear music from the bar clearly and plenty of conversations outside, making it hard to sleep. A very confusing layout to the building, with the keys not being numbered very well.

Needs updating

The reception myself and my dog received from Ryan was warm and welcoming. This hotel desperately needs renovating. The bedroom furniture in the room allocated to me is antiquated, ie. dark, big and bulky and the carpet is thin and without underlay. When using the cold tap in the ensuite it groaned and the plumbing made a very loud vibrating noise when used.

The Bear Hotel is a tragic missed opportunity. This is an important historic property in the older part of the town centre but it is in serious need of investment to drag it up to the standards expected in the 21st Century. The big brand hotels in Havant are always busy and the Bear has been left behind. Greene King don't appear to be a serious hotel operator. Occupancies and room charges would swiftly return an investment in the rooms and facilities. and would knock on to significantly increased restaurant and bar sales. The Bear would see a substantial functions and weddings business come back after having abandoned the property in recent years. There doesn't appear to be any commitment from Greene King to the most basic of hospitality standards. The to do list is long. This could be a great hotel (again), with a solid customer appeal, and contented management and staff running a hotel that they are proud of. I think customers select this hotel almost as a last choice. The online presentation is not bad, the prices are reasonable and the food is good. I wonder what the data on return stays looks like currently! All this can change and we could see customers queueing up to book to stay here within a short period of time.

Staff was very polite and friendly, we felt very welcome, pub and restaurants were cozy and quaint old England style architecture, the rooms were very clean a bit dated and could do with some modernising but what we paid for I dont expect 5 star luxury. We would definitely go back there again
