Lyndhurst Park Hotel  

Excellent location and breakfast.

It was my girlfriend's birthday and I'm pretty sure she thinks less of me as a result staying in this hotel. Without doubt the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in - damp on the ceilings - window would not close - decor / bed linen / bathroom would probably have been just about acceptable 15 years ago. Pound for pound I have never felt more 'done' in my entire life.

The bedroom was extremely clean and the bed was probably the most comfortable I have experienced The wholeof the interior of the hotel was very well presented

The exterior of the hotel is in urgent need of a lick of paint. Unfortunately the first impression of the hotel does not do justice to the interior and the standard of service

The location was excellent as was our particular room and associated facilities, which was a relief after reading some reviews on the Hotel. The food was surprisingly good, evening mealswell presented and the breakfast enormous! Staff were helpful and efficient.

External refurbishment required to improve first impressions and some common areas could do with some attention, in particular the corridor on the first floor leading to the 100's bedrooms , which smelt of damp.

The rooms were tired and needed decorating, There were thread bare carpets and out of the 4 rooms that we all stayed in two of the bathrooms were covered in mould. The staff were most un helpfull and in some cases very rude. The chairs in the rooms looked like they had pee stains on them. All in all it has to be the worst hotel that I have ever stayed in. Location wise it was perfect but thats all.

in need of new furniture and replace gloomy restraunt

Nature walking and sightseeing

Lack of staff rooms not cleaned until very late afternoon 4. 30 pm

We were very disappointed with the quality of the hotel,it was very tired and needed a complete revamping.The reception staff were very helpful but the rest of the staff were abrupt and unhelpful enough for us to cut our stay and find alternative accommodation

I booked two nights at this hotel as a surprise for my husbands 60th birthday. On arrival, the entrance and bar, including restaurants, were very clean and tidy. However, on entering the room, we were both very disappointed in the outdated decor. The carpet was threadbare in places, and very stained along with the chairs. I had paid £216.00 for a family room, but was given a premier room instead. I thought the family room would be more like a small suite, considering the price. When we were given the room keys, we noticed that room no.26 Had been crossed out, and it was no.9 Instead. On the first night, I was kept awake by noisy guests who insisted on being noisy either by talking and laughing, or by slamming doors. On the Saturday, there was a wedding party and some of these guests kept both my husband and myself awake until four o' clock the next morning. All this spoilt the surprise for my husband, and I was totally disappointed, especially with the amount of money we had paid.

Location was ideal for walking, cycling through the new forest. Central for a trip in to southhampton if you like shopping, visiting Beaulie car museum. Service was always polite could'nt fault food even if you only have breakfast, plenty of choice.

The downside is Hotel feels in need of a lot of love and attention inside and out.There is also a fusty smell and signs of damp problems. The lift could do with being replaced far too small and out dated. Also no warning the pool was out of use.

The hotel is relaxing and the staff are great. They still have the bath water problem - it still doesn't run out very quickly-, but that's a minor hiccup. My husband & I have never slept so well, eat so well and had so much fresh air. We will be going back there again as we always feel so relaxed when we leave, we recomend the Lyndhurst Park Hotel to our friends and plus being right next door to the New Forest is a added bonus.

The bath water still takes along time to empty in room 1 even though my husband did inform reception, when we were at the hotel last year. Also my husband & I are coffee drinkers,so please change the coffee from Nescafe to Kenco Rich. Nescafe is very strong & bitter, you need 3 of the small milk cartons to even try to stop it looking like tar, and then the coffee is cold then you need 2 sugars in the cup to take the bitter taste away. I drank alot of coffee while I was there and I'm afraid I didn't enjoy any of them I had at the hotel.

Location and the fact that it has a room available; breakfast was ok and most things seemed to work

Totally worn out hotel - duck tape holdig carpet together, paint peeling off walls, 70's decor throughout and very dated rooms. Servive was atrocious - almost two hours for a 2 course bar meal, and barman kept channel ficking the bar tv throughout (at high volume) between different sports programs. Would rather sleep in the car next time.

We loved where the hotel was situated near the high street and the new forest and easy for site seeing. The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay

We had a second floor room which was fine but the lift facility was terrible so we ended walking up and down the stairs which was not good at our age. We also found the eveing meal in the restaurant was a very limited menu and we did eat on the saturday night not worth the money. The bar snacks were better

We stayed at this hotel for a friends wedding, and the weekend was lovely. Clean rooms, and comfortable beds. On phoning to enquire about room availability for changing before the wedding, the receptionist was exceptional in her help and advice.

The hotel decor, both inside and outside, was very tired. The hotel staff were not as attentive as maybe they could have been during service of breakfast in particular.
