The Swan Hotel is well situated in Alton High Street with car parking at the back reached via the road bypassing the High Street. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was fine. However, the room was just too hot (I now remember this from my stay many years ago), as the room window barely opened at all. A fan was provided for the room. I could have put up with that, with a nice cool shower, however the bathroom had underfloor heating on and the shower, at its coolest, was still hot. A hot room, warm bathroom and no cool shower water was did not make for a happy stay, I’m afraid. It was all just too hot. I did want to mention this as I checked out, however the lady in charge, in reception this morning, was busy giving the cleaning staff a bit of a dressing down. Now, I’m sure there are items that need bringing to the attention of staff, however this should not be done at reception when a guest is standing there for 3 or 4 minutes waiting to check out. In the end, myself and another person just left the key on the reception desk and went.

Lovely historic hotel with great staff. No air conditioning which is a challenge in very hot weather.

First time in Alton

It was exciting to be staying in an historic hotel. I was comfortable with the fan that was provided given that the UK was experiencing a heatwave when I stayed. A staff member was on hand to assist me with taking my suitcase up the two flights of stairs to my room. The restaurant was excellent!

A decent place to stay. Excellent value for money. Comfortable beds. Lovely bathroom. Very clean. Bring your own toiletries, which I always do. There is a hairdryer. We ate in the pub, the food was lovely. The staff are very pleasant. We will return.
