This hotel is the closest one to the Alton station. That is the main reason to choose this place. It takes only three minutes to walk from the station platform to the hotel reception. You don’t need to worry whether a taxi is waiting when you get off a train.
The hotel would benefit from some investment and TLC, this said, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The car parking is good gives easy access to the town centre which has some good restaurant choices.
The room was well proportioned and offered plenty of space, however, a lack of shelves in the bathroom for toiletries was frustrating.

We had a 2 night stay in this hotel in a standard double room.Our room was in desperate need of renovation. Stains on carpet and furniture in need of replacement. Breakfast was average, with not alot of cooked options.
On the plus side it was quiet and we slept well.
We had a lovely one night stay in one of the feature rooms which had a very large four poster bed. The room itself was a good size. The bathroom was small but had everything that was necessary. The bed was very comfortable. We had a meal in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Breakfast was good and the full English was just the right size. The staff that we interacted with were very friendly and welcoming. We would stay here again.
Very dated, old and shabby hotel. Room was basic and ok, but the bathroom was tatty and there was some mould and the towels smelt funny,
We weren’t expecting much, but it was very basic and I wouldn’t give it the 3* it supposedly has.
The reception staff were friendly but it was like walking back into something from the 80s! Glad we only stayed one night
