Good location in centre of town and easy parking at rear of hotel. Dinner here was excellent and good value for money. Our room was a good size and nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would just say the hotel could do with a paint refresh, but it is an old building

On arrival we entered through the rear door from the car park. There was a strange smell in that lobby. The staff were brilliant and made us welcome, but the hotel really needs a makeover. The food was good and well served. The outside of the property needs some attention.

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!

The pictures are deceiving. The photos make you believe that the hotel is much nicer than it actually is in real life. Every room door looks best up and the fire doors look like you are entering a penitentiary or hospital for the insane.

The staff were friendly and helpful. I found the room very restful with a comfortable bed and pillows. It had a homely feeling. Some of the public corridors needed a fresh lick of paint but it was clean and the art work lifted the feel of it. The cooked breakfast was excellent - best I have had in a hotel. I would use this hotel again. A very pretty town and area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The building is beautiful and attractive. I last stayed there in 1976 and it has changed a lot. The rooms are now all en-suite, which wasn't the case 49 years ago. The room in which I stayed was fantastically quiet and the bathroom was beautiful! There was a bath with a shower over and both were fabulous. I also loved the scent in the hair and body wash that was provided. I loved the decor in the bathroom but the room was a little dowdy, except for the art - pictures of birds - that I really liked. There were a few minor faults. The first is one I find in almost all hotels and that is that the Freeview TV has not had a channel update for years. As a result, some channels are absent and others were misnamed or in the wrong location. Freeview TVs should have a channel update scan performed 4 times a year. The bedding struck me as too short for the bed. I like being able to pull it over my head when I sleep and I could not do that. The loo had a drip from the cistern into the bowl and while this had no effect on its function, over a long period it will cost the hotel a significant amount in unnecessary water charges. But basically this was an excellent hotel in a beautiful town. I had dinner in the hotel on my first night. It was good but the menu struck me as rather corporate and I'd expect to see identical menus in other hotels in the chain. The waitress who served me was sweet and I was very happy to leave her a tip.

Been there before and know Alton. Great place to stay. Pub downstairs. Pub is not too big to be too noisy. Breakfast is a amazing. Had a large single room. Will stay there again. Only one little thing: wish there would have been a shower curtain to prevent water on bathroom floor.

Only negative aspect was the room facing the High street was some excessive/loud vehicle exhaust noise one night. Better double glazing would help. Room was clean & tidy with excellent bath and shower. Very comfortable bed and handy room fan, which was also very quiet as was needed due to heat and limited opening of windows. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Lovely inn close to the Jane Austen House Museum

Beautiful location and it’s a charming old inn, but the service was just so-so. They did keep my bad for me while I walked to the Jane Austen House Museum, which was nice and convenient. They have a lovely restaurant/ bar on the main level, but unfortunately the one night I stayed over, they had a 50th birthday party taking place. The DJ music was thumping and vibrating my room until 11:00 or midnight, and I couldn’t get to sleep until it all quieted down. There was no warning or mention of that taking place at check in, or apologies the next morning. Otherwise, I loved the place.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were lovely and welcoming and I cannot fault the interactions I had with them. However the room I stayed in was not clean- marks on the bed sheets, bed not made properly, toothpaste marks in the bathroom and black marks over the towels. The tea and coffee selection provided was a nice touch but two packets of coffee had been opened and put back in the pot. I went to tell the staff and asked for my room to be cleaned and bedding changed, to which they were very apologetic and assured me this would be sorted while I was out. Unfortunately only the duvet sheet was changed, though I asked for clean bedding and towels. It was dissapointing having asked politely for these things to be the basic standard anyone would expect when staying at any location.
