Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
It's not possible to explain how fantastic the staff were. I got stuck and called the emergency number and the team were amazing and helped.
On to the normal nitty gritty: there is plenty of parking, you need to log your reg number when you check in on to their tablet. Rooms are nice, not too fancy but the bed was super comfortable and you have blackout blinds if you want to have a lay in. The bathroom was super clean, and a great size.
The only issue (which is not the hotel's fault!) is taxis (including Ubers) around the area are almost non-existent. If you're going, make sure you can book a taxi well in advance as I was not able to book one on the day.
I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.
Ease of booking in, friendliness & helpfulness of the staff

The highlighted parts of the breakfast menu were ridiculously unreadable.
Surely the letters should be in white to stand out against the dark background.
That ruined my breakfast.

room was clean and good. Breakfast was a bit lacklustre and I didnt think the ingredients of the cooked breakfast was very high quality.
The property was very old and interesting and in a great location to walk to town facilities, the park and river.

The room was clean and comfortable and not too noisy despite being on the main road. The WiFi was terrible - poor strength and constantly dropping the connection. If you need access to the internet during your stay in Alton I would recommend staying elsewhere.
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
