Cheap hotel in Alton Hampshire
Pros:

Decent size deep bath.
Shower water pressure was very good.
Breakfast was good and fresh porridge was available.
Friendly staff.

Cons:

Mattress was of rather poor quality. Very bouncy.
Mould on bath sealant behind bath taps.
Cheap pressed metal tea spoon in room that was stained.
Dirty TV remote.
Only 1 of the 2 windows was double glazed.
Electric Heating was rather poor under the double glazed window and the room was a little chilly.
Ok room for the price I paid.

Fair but disappointed, clean nice hotel with lack of attention to clientele.
Cons:

Staff could be friendlier, bed was extremely uncomfortable and we had mould on the cieling. Breakfast was ok apart from no hot water for tea and when we pointed it out, he knew. Slowest toaster ever

Great room, very spacious, lovely decor in the room.
Pros:

I liked the decor of the room and the large space and the location was perfect for the event that we planned to attend. We also liked how pleasant and helpful the staff were

Cons:

The window to our room is quite dated and my brother and I were worried by even opening it that it might break somehow. We also didn't mind sharing a bed but it would have been nice to be reminded that there were pull out beds in the sofas. Maybe the paintings in the corridors could be a bit more interesting but that's just me nit picking.

Lovely Victorian house with comfortable accommodation and atmosphere.
Pros:

Comfy, clean, modern room with great bed. Breakfast was pretty standard but nicely presented with good variety of options.

Cons:

Didn't care for the internal decoration, e.g. very gaudy wallpaper throughout ground floor restaurant and reception area (lime green sofas and seats in twinned with grey plush velvet and over the top ornate cheap looking mirrors). It did not compliment in any way a beautiful Victorian mansion.
We didn't appreciate having a gambling slot machine and large screen television on full blast in the restaurant while we ate our breakfast.
