Common downsides include street noise from nearby nightlife, rooms that can run hot, and inconsistent showers or hot water. There is no on-site bar or evening restaurant, though eateries are close by; several guests found the car park access awkward to locate. Best suited to short, no-frills stays when convenience matters.

Nice clean and friendly hotel, we stayed as a base to visit some local sites of highclere castle and the bombay saffire distillery. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable, and you have tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast was good and served buffet style. There is no bar or restaurant on site , but there are plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Overall a good stay and would recommend.

Staff and location were awesome. It was clean and safe. Convenient to shopping, and dinning. The only problem was the shower. It would not regulate no matter what I did. It was either too hot or too cold and nothing in between. Other than that I had an excellent time.

Stayed few times. We are disappointed this time. 1. the so called air cooler is the waste of space. When you switch it on and put either fan or cool mode, it make the noise that no nowe will sleep. Instead of this if they give us normal fan that would have been begetter. Since e the night is cool, we managed it buy owning the window. 2. The most disappoint met was the shower. You do not get steady hot water every 30 to 45 seconds you get the cold water and you get warm water and again back to cold water which was very cold 3. The mirror for shaving over the wash basin - not working. The pull cord is permanently in one position.

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..

The club next door closed approximately 2am, there was noise until 3am. The room we were staying in should not be occupied at weekends!!! It faced the sound system and It was awful. I then had to drive 130 miles with no sleep, it was not only dangerous, I paid £84 for the privilege! I have stayed at this hotel loads of times but never in that room! It is a lovely hotel, but they should think about their customers more.

The location is great, it's quite unfortunately it was incredibly hot in the room the fan was the slowest weekest fan possible, especially with the sockets bring so far from the bed it wasn't possible to both reach the cool air to sleep, it was very difficult to sleep in such a hot room with winter quilts, and do under sheet.

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

Nice clean comfortable twin room in the stable block so accessed from the car park. Due to location the front door has a code lock, this is fine and easy to use. Our room was right next to the door which meant that every time somebody entered or left it slammed shut. Not great early and late. There is a sign in the wall as you enter asking guests to be courteous but it would be better to adjust the door and tell people on check in to close quietly. It was the only downside to our stay as the room was great.

Firstly, the staff here are excellent. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. However we had a couple of issues: * we booked a twin but got a double and no twins were available. This was fine as I was travelling with my young son, but did make the stay less comfortable. * both my son and I slipped on the non-slip mat in the bath and I have a corker of a bruise on my leg * breakfast was generally fine but the bread was frozen which made the crusts really hard. The room was a decent size, a bit warm but there was an a/c unit in there which we really appreciated.

We have stayed here a few times before as visitors to family who had been unwell recently. This stay unfortunately was for their funeral and we had attended that day & stayed one night. Everything was fine as we know the hotel until the morning of check out. We had breakfast & were sorting the car out as flowers in the boot from the funeral when suddenly a lady appeared & did not introduce herself just accused us of trying to possibly leave without paying! Her words were I’m not suggesting you were going to leave but I’m aware it’s happened before & I’m making sure! We were annoyed but understood why but she could have handled it much better. Also helps to know your guests & who have stayed beforehand. Maybe highlight this on the hotel CRM or system plus it was only one night..

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

Basic but very clean and comfy enough. Need better/more pillows though. Good location in the heart of Andover. Nice friendly staff. Would stay again.

Room for a bit tired, shower took forever to warm up room for a stuffy breakfast wasn’t great. The cook breakfast looked terrible. All dried out, stayed in the Wetherspoons next door before half the price.

Nice clean and friendly hotel, we stayed as a base to visit some local sites of highclere castle and the bombay saffire distillery. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable, and you have tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast was good and served buffet style. There is no bar or restaurant on site , but there are plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Overall a good stay and would recommend.

Centrally located in Andover with its own car park, which is free for residents. Staff are really friendly and helpful, they really go the extra mile and are a credit to the hotel. Buffet style breakfast with so much choice.

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..

Had a lovely stay, was a drop of the hat booking. Lots of shops if you have forgotten anything. Staff was lovely especially Chris the night porter who couldn't do enough to help. Was biker friendly also due to the weather they let us stay an extra hour. The Breakfast was 2nd to none and breakfast staff where lovely didnt know the lady chef but she was very helpful and kept me loaded with coffee" she knows who she ls! Reception team again very helpful and kind. My partner and I almost wanted to stay another night, will book again when I the area. Kind Benjamin Jon Beard

Nice: reception staff were friendly; room was clean; bed was comfy Not nice: the shower didn't work (alleged recent repair was botched/flow control not properly attached); breakfast staff were invisible; and breakfast (12 GBP) was missing endless things; TV mounted so high on the wall it was unusable.

We had a very nicely renovated large room on the second floor of the main building, looking out onto the pedestrian High Street. A little noise from the party-goers, but got to sleep fine. Buffet breakfast was plentiful but nothing special, ie bacon overdone, cheap sausages and weak filtered coffee but nice croissant and pastries.

The place was alright, but could use some tlc. Our main issue was not being able to open the window because it was painted shut. It was very hot and there is not air conditioning, which is understandable in an old building. It would have been nice to have fresh air.

Clean and adequate but needs updating. Very tired looking. Large crack in bathroom sink and poor shower. Clean bath towels but no hand towel provided or bath mat. We arrived in hot weather for 4 days with only a mobile air con unit in a large room, proper wall mounted units would be a benefit as our weather is getting warmer each year.
