Pros:

Le petit déjeuner est conséquent et tres bon
La disponibilité du personnel qui a ete tres gentil surtout que nous sommes arrivés pile a l’heure de la fermeture de la réception a 23h

Cons:

En point d’amélioration mais c’est du détail, je mettrais une petite planche au mur (comme une etagere) pour le lit superposé du dessus afin de poser des lunettes ou téléphone durant la nuit pour éviter de les écraser ou de les faire tomber durant la nuit, cela pourrait faire office de table de nuit

Esperienza da 4 stelle in un incantevole paesino
Pros:

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo tipico albergo inglese e ci siamo trovati benissimo. I servizi e l’attenzione al cliente sono assolutamente da hotel 4 stelle più che 3. Tutto il personale è stato estremamente gentile e accogliente, dal momento dell’arrivo fino alla colazione.
La colazione inglese era davvero ottima, con prodotti di qualità. La nostra camera tripla era spaziosa, pulitissima e molto confortevole, con un letto comodissimo!!! Inoltre la stanza era perfettamente insonorizzata, quindi molto tranquilla e rilassante.
Il bagno era grande, con un’ottima doccia e phon grande, cosa non sempre scontata negli hotel.
L’hotel si trova in un paesino davvero caratteristico: tranquillo, ma con tutti i servizi raggiungibili a piedi. Molto comodo anche il parcheggio situato proprio dietro l’hotel.
Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, ci tornerei assolutamente!

One night in Alresford.
Pros:

Historic main building. Town centre location. Convenient for Watercress Line station. 2-5 minute walk. Parking on site, if full station car park available.
Very comfortable bed. Only stayed one night. Breakfast choices generous and dietary requirements respected. Due to wedding reception, bar very busy so we didn't eat or drink here. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Wedding reception in The Vault bit noisy but finished on time.
Several short sets of stairs to get to our room.
