Paul's night away
I arrived at the hotel and went to reception and the lady was very polite and helpful even arranged for someone to take my luggage to my room because I'm partly disabled and use a walking stick . The staff at the bar were very good as were the staff at breakfast

Good but can do better
First impression was positive as room clean and spacious. … but I’ve rated my stay as average as no hot water in the morning (mentioned it at reception who seemed to be very relaxed in their response that this happened). Breakfast was not worth paying extra for - really disappointing as breakfast is priced at £10

Convenient for Jane Austin House.
Nice hotel, in excellent condition throughout. Plenty of parking. Very handy for Jane Austin House and Gilbert White’s House & Garden. Breakfast excellent. Didn’t dine at hotel, so unable to comment. Alton itself was not particularly appealing, but convenient. Very reasonably priced.
