Staff were very good - friendly, helpful and thoughtful. We had three rooms and they were flexible about check-out on two of them but understandably the third room had to be vacated on time as it was booked by someone else. That's a nice touch to say you don't need to check out too early if we don't have a booking on your room. Breakfast was very nice and the staff / chef were very ameniable to a few additions we needed (some fruit in the porridge). The hotel was warm and cosy.

Very clean, renovated and beautifully decorated rooms. Lovely pub dining area! Good food and friendly, helpful and accommodating staff! Will def return again to explore the area. We stayed due to a wedding we were attending at Froyle Country House and we were only a 6 minute drive from the Binsted Inn to the wedding venue…… awesome! Overall great value for money, would highly recommend!
Set amid the shops on Alton's main street "Not to be confused with Alton (the home of Alton Towers) in the Midlands" the Swan Hotel is a historical building that dates back to 1377.

I'm a bit of a hard grader, so if I give a place a 4 it means I was satisfied and it met expectations. If I give it a five it means exceeded expectations. The Swan met all and exceeded some expectations. I checked in at 11:30 pm/23:30, and to feel truly welcomed at that hour when the innkeeper was also closing the bar means you have excellent staff. And the morning innkeeper also was excellent.

I like everything about The Poacher, but especially the people who worked there, and particularly the managers: Jayne and Jon. Terrific people who went out of their way to make my stay an enjoyable one. I stayed in four other inns during this trip, and my stay at The Poacher was, by far, the nicest.

Nice little town with a high street full of shops, cafe's and restaurants. We enjoyed walking through the town, its not picturesque but surrounded by countryside.
We enjoyed breakfast in a café and the staff were lovely and friendly.

A bustling English market town (the Friday market is held through the High Street). served by buses from Aldershot, Petersfield, Winchester and Basingstoke which stop almost directly outside The Swan. The mainline train station is a fair walk from the The Swan & town centre, but taxi's are on hand (business hours), if you don't fancy the walk. A good range of shops (Sainsbury's, Iceland, Co-op, charity shops, tattooist, Greggs, fancy goods, hardware store, newsagent, other pubs, live music venue 'The Lounge Bar' in the community centre, etc).
In the oldie-worldie open street town centre - much better in my opinion than the covered shopping centre's like Basingstoke -fresh air much better for people. Parking is at a premium, with car parking behind The Swan (for Patrons) or behind the town centre shops with public conveniences and a park nearby. A good place to stay if you're interested in The Bluebell Railway as Alton train station links directly to it too.
Excellent stay for a place to visit for a day out, weekend/long weekend or a holiday base for visiting other nearby attractions, with things to do if it's wet.

An interesting town with lots of history.
An interesting town with lots of history. Huge number of hostelries, and seemed to be a good range of places to eat. As is common in many towns currently, lots of vacant premises and closed shops. Still things for us to discover though so will return.

No help offered with bags yet toom to floors up.
No help offered with bags yet toom to floors up.
Not the upgraded twin room we booked. Given a standard room which was a cramped attic room with just skylight.
No heating in late October, 8C outside, on a chilly night, has to put cloths on in bed!
Extraction fan in bathroom not working - smelly - and more cold when opening the small skylight.
No hair dryer as per room details.
Very shabby worn carpet.
Ask for restaurant menu at reception but told to use QR in room but it linked to a Christmas promotion, err! When found, several levels deep on the website, the menu was too small to read on a phone - hopeless - so went Pizza Express down the street where food and service was excellent.
Bacon served at breakfast was under done, very rubbery. Rasher oddly folded half so would never cook well. Needed another 20-30 mins in the oven.
Greeted but not offered toast at breakfast until end.
Staff only doing the minium and nothing to meet expectations.
At checkout we were not asked about our stay - err!
Fire alarm at 6am on a Sunday which can happen anywhere but all fires doors still closed still after 10am so exiting room with luggage was challenging.
Dreadful. Never again. A Premier Inn is twice as good at half the price.

Lashamn gilder sotiety is the best experience, the steam train also very nice, Pourtsmouth marine museum is also a very nice day trip, we had 4 packed days with activetys, recommend traveling to Alton

Breakfast was very nice and the staff / chef were very ameniable to a few additions we needed (some fruit in the porridge). The hotel was warm and cosy.
Facilities have improved each time we have visited.
Staff are the biggest asset to the hotel.
As I am getting a little more restricted in mobility, the stairs this time were a problem so will enquire a little differently re room location next time.
Bed was comfy for me, too soft for my husband.
Family visited for breakfast with us and staff were more than accommodating.
Reception area very cosy for a change of scenery
Perfect location for the Alton Watercress Line. Very cheery and helpful staff, especially on parking, staff member moved their own car for us to park. Room clean, bathroom clean and lovely hot shower. Bed a little soft at the head area and a little small, but still fine. Unairconditioned but working fan provided, and large window to open, a peaceful, stay with no issues, very pleasant.
This was budget basic hotel room
Location in the centre of Town was useful for access and we only need somewhere to bunker down after a long day out.
Parking in the municipal car park immediately at the rear was free 18-00 to 09-00
Didn't use the breakfast facility, the pub was available for food and drinks and there were other restaurants available nearby.
Great first night on our pilgrims walk to canterbury. Pub is located in nice village (holybourne) just outside of busy alton. Room was very comfortable and clean. Throughout our stay, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was good pub fare. Highly recommended and very good value
The staff were very supportive and could not help enough. I have stayed at the hotel many times before and they understand my medical requirements and supported my very well. Parking was nice and easy and they have sufficient spaces allowing you to get in and out of your car.
Great hotel in a great location. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable with a huge bed and a nice en suite. The food off the dinner menu was absolutely superb (I had the duck) and the selection of drinks in the bar was excellent.
Breakfast was good though service was quite slow. The hotel has been recently modernised and is well decorated.
The golf facilities were excellent and the golf professional very friendly and accommodating.
The location is beautiful in wooded Hampshire countryside.
The Crown Hotel is in a good location on the high street not far from the railway station. The room is a small single bed with an attached bathroom, TV and kettle which was clean and tidy.
The big cooked breakfast was extra but well worth it as it was very nice.
The Swann is an old hotel with bags of character bang in the middle of town. The staff are friendly and very helpful . Our room, number 10, was at the back of the hotel and was well presented and clean. Nice comfortable bed. We would stay there again
Situated in a quiet and peacful rural location, the farmhouse mini-hotel offers tranquility, first class hospitality and excellent meals cooked to order. If you should arrive by train, as I did, the hotel is 20 minutes easy walk along the flat.
The check in was straightforward, choice of breakfast items was very good and the staff were very pleasant. The bed, was comfortable and the location of the hotel was ideal.
Amazingly helpful staff with great service and friendly attitude, warmly decorated, clean rooms. A great location in the middle of Alton. Would definitely be back again.
Hotel is well located in town centre.
Parking is free but you must register with the hotel.
Bar & restaurant reasonably good value and food nice enough.
