Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is the second time I have stayed here while on business, the staff are so friendly, the room is nice and spacious and bathroom nice and clean. Location is great with a short walk to restaurants and cafes and also the large shopping centre and train station also a easy walk.
My only suggestion would be a mini fridge in the room and also laundry facility would be a nice to have. The free parking is also very handy.
I would definitely stay here again.
So bad I got the train home and didnt stay. The room itself was very nice. The bathroom was excellent. All clean. Staff on reception lovely. The problem started at about 7 pm when the room next to mine filled up with at least 4 people who were partying. The walls are paper thin, it was as if they were in my room. At 9pm I asked to be moved to another room. All that was available was one at the front, which meant even more noise when the club opposite closed at 3am. I went back up to the room and the party in the room next door to mine (i was in number 35) was just the same. The anxiety of staying and not knowing when it was going to stop meant i had to hand my keycard back at 10pm and leave without staying the night. I hot the train home. This is a party hotel for noisy people. Dont stay there if you want to sleep. You can hear a fart through the walls. I emailed to ask for some kind of refund and heard nothing back. This noise was in no way connected to the wedding disco on the ground floor. That couldnt be heard in my room. The noise was from the room next door.
Handy for town centre. Quiet room on top floor. Hairdryer provided when asked. Good bathroom, large shower with toiletries.

There was a noise coming from the pipes next door all night as well as the fact that the walls are incredibly thin so was kept awake most of tie night. Wouldn’t recommend if you want a good nights sleep
Pleasant hotel and good central location for Baskingstoke. Friendly staff and everything we needed for our short stay in town for work. Happy to recommend and would stay again when the occasion arises. Great to have free parking too!

Disliked: Amenities
Specifically called twice to request a walk in shower, before I booked and after, even upgraded the rooms to be told on arrival that the rooms did not have a walk in showers. Which meant my calls and upgrades were both pointless.
Hotel was perfect for a one night stay. Free parking in the centre of town, with restaurants, pubs, theatre all in walking distance. The hotel was fine, our bathroom was clean and spacious with bath and shower, bedroom decor was nice with comfy bed, the carpet in room needed a clean but everything else was fine. We didn’t eat or drink in the hotel so can’t comment on that, would stay again for one night.
