Comfy hotel with incredible staff on the reception desk. Room was new-fashioned and newly remodelled. It had great and lovely location, so close to a restaurant, large shopping centre and Wetherspoons and the pubs. We had lunch in Kings Exotica, located nearby. ...

Solo traveler finds a decent stay
Breakfast was good with solid options and fresh fruit salad. The staff at reception were super friendly helping me sort a taxi when I needed it.
It wasn't the cheapest option, but considering the overall experience it was still acceptable.

Easily accessible with excellent free parking, the hotel offered a clean, well-equipped room, complemented by a fantastic bathroom. The friendly staff greatly enhanced the experience. Finding the entrance could be challenging, and while the local dining options were convenient, they might not suit everyone's taste.

Very small single bed and old fashion bedding. Clean but old style decor and needs a refurb. However, great location if you have a meeting in Basingstoke with free car park and the staff also very friendly and quick to solve any problems. Just would like to see better bed, sheets, pillows etc. Would recommend if you get a double bed.
