Summary: Very happy with everything here really. Even though there was a wedding event the night we stayed, it was a comfortable stay. The location was ideal.
Simon Jul 15, 2026 04:36:18 PM
Summary: all good very central close to pubs etc
Daniel Jul 15, 2026 02:52:58 AM
Summary: Room very dated, bed too soft and probably in need of changing, bathroom basin was partially blocked and fit and finish in the bathroom poor. But only £80 so you get what you pay for.

Summary: We stayed here for just one night, there was also a wedding on at the same time. However from our room you couldn't hear anything. The room was clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was amazing. Will definitely be staying again. I would highly recommend this place

Summary: I stayed one night on my way home from London to the South west as I needed to split the journey. Hotel was about 8 minutes walk from the station through a well lit shopping centre. I arrived just after 11 as my train was delayed, called ahead as I wasn't sure if they accommodated late check in and it was fine. Very friendly staff and a lovely clean and comfy room, perfect for a good night's sleep and great value for money. My only slight niggle was there was no plug socket near the bed or bedside table, and even with a long charger cable it couldnt reach from the desk opposite. Very minor thing though and may have just been my particular room. Would happily stay again.

Summary: Good location for attending gigs at The Anvil, Forge or Haymarket venues and free parking if you have a car make this a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious and welcoming with a good shower and welcome tea making facilities.

Summary: I needed to be in Basingstoke for work so booked The Red Lion. It has a free car park at the rear of the hotel. There is a bar at the front which I didn't use. My room (49) was spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable. The lady on reception and the breakfast staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast room is nice and bright with a good selection of items. I've stayed here three times now and would stay again.
