Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I chose this hotel due to its location, being right in the centre of the town, so we could walk to restaurants and pubs in the evenings, with the cost being reasonable. The breakfast was a bit expensive, but there are various cafes only a short walk away which are cheaper, so you could go for the room only option. Ask for a room at the back, as the front rooms are facing onto the junction of the main pedestrianised area and through road, so it can get a bit noisier at night at the weekend. The rooms were functional and clean, but there was a lack of drawers for longer stays. The breakfast was good, with no restriction on how much you could have, and in a nice room, so it was a relaxed start to the day

Lots of narrow stairs, not great for lots of luggage. No staff at night, room next to us multiple people came in at 3am and had a very loud party until 5am, we tried calling reception, but no answer. Later we were told they were supposed to give us a night number for night issues. A horrible night with no sleep

After we found parking, we checked in- it was easy. The receptionist was friendly. The hotel location is good - in the pretty town centre with good amenities very close by. Room was comfy, basic but had everthing we needed for our 1 night stop over. We slept well but scratching above woke us a few times. (There were visible rats about the area).

The first room we were given was in the car park! Tiny and extremely hot. This was barely a £50 room and definitely not the £100 I paid. My daughter asked if we could be moved and we were moved to room 106 which was large but also hot. There was an air con unit but couldn't have that on at night as it was noisy. The street outside was extremely noisy in the night. I suggest a complete overhaul , new double gazed windows and central air conditioning. We paid £8 for Continental breakfast which was also disappointing, only tow types of pastry, not very fresh, coffee tasted stewed. All in all adissapointing stay which was a shame as this, pus Highclere was a 50th birthday treat for my daughter, here from Australia. The saving grace was a very comfortable bed and the check in any was wonderful..

Not a hotel!

Awful, not really a hotel just a series of cramped, shabby rooms around a public car park, with the backs of restaurants including bins for scenery. Handmade note in bathroom tells you to run hot tap for a bit to draw water through...10 minutes later i had warm water. No restaurant in hotel, asked at reception where in the area was nice to eat and the response of Wetherspoons from reception tells you everything about this hotel. I travel and use a lot of hotels for work and the standard of this hotel was not reflected in the price...for £90 a night ive stayed in much nicer hotels in the same area. Definitely not going back.
