Top Basingstoke Hotel Reviews
Hampshire Court Hotel & Spa
"Good hotel but really needs air con"
Sir Christopher Wren Hotel
"having air conditioning could be helpful in the future."
New Place
"Nice for overnight stop. Breakfast excellent and rooms comfy. Pool quite small so could be busy if crowded. Good value overall"
Meon Valley Hotel, Spa & Golf
"It was worth it , everything was so beautiful and memorable"
De Vere Beaumont Estate
"Lovely. Would stay here again 100%."
The Winchester Hotel & Spa
"Great location a very short walk into main Winchester. All staff very friendly and said hello! Comfy bed, good facilities in the room (USB ports, coffee and tea, inroning board and iron). Beautiful smelling toiletries in the bathroom! And the pool and sauna etc was not huge but very nice and chilled despite being well attended. Breakfast ok - busy but things were kept topped up. Parking could be clearer when booking. Its a council carpark which isnt expensive but you do need to pay at certain times during the day OR hotel carpark but also not free. No hardship but always better to know than be surprised, I think my booking might have said 'free parking' which it wasn't. But overall would defintely stay again!"
LEGOLAND Windsor Resort
"The food in the Main Hotel was amazing. We stayed in the castle and the room was big and spacious. Check in time is very late. The Castle unless in restaurant times there was nowhere like a simple shop to be able to get a simple drink without having to go over to the main Resort."
Oatlands Park Hotel
"I liked the size of the room & comfortable bed. Surprised that they charge n upfront fee of ยฃ50 a night for any extras you my have. I have not come across this before & I have stayed in many hotels"
Apollo Hotel
"Friendly and helpfull staff. Rooms were tidy. Small thing to mention, First room had missing TV remote and in second one, it was not working. It didn't affect our stay as we don't use it. You need to pre-book swimming pool and the slot is 45min starting on the hour. This prevents it from being over-crowded, which is a plus. Overall very pleased with our stay. Recommended!"
