Lovely stay

Had a lovely stay at Alton house hotel, arrived early to find out room was ready for us to drop off the bags, freshen up and get to our planned wedding. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

An excellent value hotel.

Young lady at reception was extremely helpful and cheery. Checked us in, then became the bar maid for our drinks, and happily gave us fresh milk and extra tea bags for our room, which was very comfortable.
Catherine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This hotel is tired. The rooms are in desperate need of a refurb, from iron burn marks on the carpet to old mattresses. The breakfast was ok and staff are really nice, but that doesn’t make up for the facts that the rooms are poor.
Jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good stay in a nice town.

We booked for its proximity to the Mid Hants railway station which is just around the corner . It was very convenient for the old high street and we will definetly visit again . A nice corner room gave us good light .We cannot comment on the restaurant as it does Sunday lunches not evening meals that day. Overall NO downsides on our single nights stay with convenient parking arrangements.

Timothy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Just a one night stop over after getting off the ferry at 10.00pm. Friendly welcome, lots of parking and a big comfortable room with a bath was just what I needed. Bar was open and again the staff were great. Good choice at breakfast and good, attentive staff. Easy, comfortable and great value stay.
Nigel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely stay with a little glitch

This is a quaint establishment located perfectly to public transportation and is an easy stroll to all of the nearby shops, groceries and pubs. The English breakfast was lovely and every single person on staff was friendly and engaging. My room faced the front of the hotel and offered a nice breeze. It was actually also very quiet for sleep. If my room were clean my rating would be all 5s. Spider webs, dust, other people’s hair all over the bathroom and the shower curtain needed a scrub or a toss.

8/10 Very good

No charge for parking was a plus. Would've benefited from having bottles of water to make tea in the room. Cups were a decent size. Staff were amenable. Beds were comfortable. Appreciate that extra pillows were available in the room.
