Great hotel, great staff and good location, definitely recommended!
Pros:

Great staff, really friendly and made extra effort to welcome the children. Rooms air conditioned so comfortable even in the 30 odd degree heat! Room lovely and quiet so no disturbances. Couple of things in the room needed changing (fridge and hairdryer) and this was sorted immediately with no fuss and no inconvenience. Terrace outside by the bar would be a lovely place to spend some time. Good choices for breakfast and good food. An all round great hotel stay!

Cons:

In the bathroom the stopper for the door is right in the middle of the bit where you step out of the bath. If it were moved closer to the hinge side of the door it would still work but it'd be safer.

Home from home
Pros:

As an ex farnborough lad I remember going to the queens Hotel disco it’s always been an iconic hotel and even now it still holds its charm compared to other modernised hotels in farnborough. The staff are so friendly it’s like staying with family. I have stayed in other hotels when I’ve travelled back to farnborough including the Aviator but would not stay anywhere else but the Queens ( holiday inn )

Cons:

Its history and the fact it hasn’t been altered it’s the same hotel I remember as a child and I’m now 70

Slept well.
Pros:

Location, choice of room, assistance at check-in.
Bed comfortable.

Cons:

Choice of beer in the bar rubbish. No real ale on a pump😭
Noisy children in the corridor.
No muesli at breakfast, just branded cereal.
The bathroom in the "Disabled" room we had, was not particularly well designed. A low sided bath to climb into to shower was not that helpful. Given the size of the room a wet area might have been more appropriate. Also the heater seemed not to be working.

Very unpleasant
Pros:

Location and free parking on site

Cons:

On a very hot night, they booked me into a room where air conditioning was turned off centrally early in the night. After a long tiring day, this resulted as a punishment to spend the night in that room.

Average
Cons:

Our sleep was disturbed due to noise through the interconnecting bedroom doors. We could hear everything our neighbours were saying. Not sound proofed rooms as described.
