We had to walk up 42 steps to get to our room carrying our baggage. The place is adequate but dated and the hot water difficult to adjust safely. A window in our room was ajar and there was rot and mold around the frame which caused us to leave it that way. There is no one attending the front desk as the person who checked us in did double duty in the restaurant. The food was fine.

Not a great stay but not their fault. Would not recommend for the elderly or walking difficulties as many steps to get to most rooms.

The hotal is very convenient for the Hook train station. It is a nice hotel but note that there is no elevator at the hotel so upper flore rooms are an issue especially with a large bag to carry

We always stay at the Raven when visiting my daughter in Odiham. Lovely hotel, clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Plenty of parking space (free) and the bonus of the restaurant/pub being joined to the hotel.

This hotel is a little run down. In need of a bit of a spruce up I'd say. That siad the room was large and comfortoble enough just needed updating and the general hotel areas could do with a lick of paint. The food in the pub downstairs was quite good with a decent choice though. Although the service could have been better. Breakfast was excellent as the cooked items were freshly cooked and not from a Buffet.

First impressions of the hotel entrance and reception were a bit negative. It was like walking into a 1980s office that was very outdated and shabby, but it was clean, tidy and the receptionist who checked me in was great. Given how the reception was i was apprehensive about what my room would be like, but actually my room was great and the bed excellent which nuce linen and pilows. There was a strong smell of cleaning products as i entered my room which i did not like but after a while i forgot about this. All in all for the price i paid i was satisfied. The hotel is easy to find.

Wife and I stayed here for one night. Room was clean, but dated. Bed was comfy. We didnt have evening meal here. We did have breakfast which was just about ok. Dry and shrivelled up half a tomatoe, bacon, mushrooms. The waitress was excellent. The floor was dirty with food, kids crayons and ripped napkins from the previous eve (may be longer?) When we checked out all we got was a "thanks", none of the usual departure customer service "how was your stay, was everythin ok", good bye, safe journey, see you again".

Contrary to previous reviews, there was a person at reception checking me in (c.17:30), the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, the bed had four pillows and best of all, the hotel is across the car park to Hook Train Station - which is 10 mins to Basingstoke and less than an hour to London Waterloo. There is a large TESCO Supermarket across the railway bridge.

We are regular visitors to Hampshire, and the Raven is ideally placed to service our visits. It is a friendly and accommodating place to stay. The room we were given was spacious, the bed huge and comfortable. We enjoyed a meal with friends in house before an evening concert just across the road. Ample free parking, and conveniently adjacent to Hook station. Will we stay here again? Yes of course we will!

Lovely clean and comfy room. Good food in the restaurant. Only 2 minor grumbles: cold water in the room not cold. Ugh! when cleaning teeth or needing a drink. Also, could hear snoring and talking from next door room, so not very sound proof. But this is my 2nd stay and I would definitely return.

The Raven Hotel in Hook is a fantastic choice for business travel. Its location by the train station is ideal, but the service is what really shines. The entire team was excellent, providing professional and friendly service throughout my stay. Special mention to Valentina and Miranda, who were exceptional hosts—attentive, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. The breakfast was another highlight. Forget the tired hot buffet; here, you get a delicious, freshly cooked-to-order meal that perfectly jumpstarts a busy workday. For any business traveller seeking efficiency, comfort, and top-tier hospitality, this hotel comes highly recommended. I will certainly return.

Lady on recpetion enabld us to check in early. Thank you. Breakfast was disappointing. The cook, as it clearly wasn't a chef, took no pride in what was presented to us. Over coled, dried up and shrivelled half a baby tomato, a teaspoon of dried mushrooms, a fried ehh that resembled a frisebee and the bacon was folded over so as twasnt cooked all the way through. £12.50 x two wasted. serverd.

The property was good but would benefit from a refresh. The staff were excellent and really helpful. The food was also very good. My only complaint is aimed at Expedia (not the hotel) - I needed to make changes to my booking but despite hotel staff efforts we failed. Next time, I will book directly with the hotel.
