Very quiet room and a very comfortable bed. Excellent location. Room wasn't ready when I arrived (4pm). Very warm in the room but a desk fan helped to keep me cool.

The staff were friendly and helpful. I found the room very restful with a comfortable bed and pillows. It had a homely feeling. Some of the public corridors needed a fresh lick of paint but it was clean and the art work lifted the feel of it. The cooked breakfast was excellent - best I have had in a hotel. I would use this hotel again. A very pretty town and area.

Lovely inn close to the Jane Austen House Museum
Beautiful location and it’s a charming old inn, but the service was just so-so. They did keep my bad for me while I walked to the Jane Austen House Museum, which was nice and convenient. They have a lovely restaurant/ bar on the main level, but unfortunately the one night I stayed over, they had a 50th birthday party taking place. The DJ music was thumping and vibrating my room until 11:00 or midnight, and I couldn’t get to sleep until it all quieted down. There was no warning or mention of that taking place at check in, or apologies the next morning. Otherwise, I loved the place.

The entire team at Swan Hotel was very friendly and engaged well with the guests. The restaurant was excellent for both breakfast and dinner. Our superior room was large, clean and very comfortable. The hotel was an easy 30 minute walk to Jane Austen’s home and Chawton. Would highly recommend the Swan Hotel for a stay in Alton.

We really enjoyed our short stay at the Swan. Every aspect of our stay met or exceeded our expectations. The room was very comfortable, food was excellent quality and very good value. I will be using this Hotel again, when we visit Alton, and would not hesitate recommending the Swan.

Great Hotel, lovely staff and perfect location!
I have stayed here for 4 nights, and enjoyed my stay at this hotel! Thank you to Bethany for greeting me when I arrived at reception on arrival and for her assistance throughout my stay! Also thank you to Mandy, the overall Manager, for making me feel so welcome! All the staff here are lovely, which makes it, and I shall definitely be returning very soon!

Good Food & Location, could do with a good clean
The hotel is old and a little tired, the room we stayed in was not so clean with mould and grime around the window, dust around the skirting boards and the carpet could do with a good clean. As it was winter and the room is single glazed, the heating could not cope and the room was extremely cold, luckily their was a fan heater available to bring up the temperature. Their isn’t a lift and the corridors are narrow, not so easy with luggage, especially if your room is on the top floor. On a positive note, the location is good with free parking, the food in the restaurant is a good standard, service is okay, but often their is no one to be seen and you have to seek them out.

Booked the night here as it was cheaper than using a Taxi for travel to and from Odiham. It is a really nice hotel, has all the facilities you would expect. Pretty much like a Premier inn really. I would stay here again.

Confused staff and cold rooms
Check in was fine. Room was cold, radiators were not on, after going to reception and being told the heating would come on shortly twice, I was given a fan heater, which proceeded to trip the lights. Apparently the heated towel rails dont work as they are waiting to be replaced. Were moved to abother room - this room was fine, but still inconsistencies with the heating, luckily we still had the fan heater. In the pub restaurant, staff seemed a bit confused at times, staff did not know what ales they had or the difference between ale and lager. We were also told we could eat and were seated on sunday, only to be then told kitchen is closed to prep for sunday lunch. Just seems some more staff training may be needed. Food that we did have there over the weekend was good however.
