Red Lion Hotel  

The bed was comfy and clean.

I never complain about anything (and my mother always tells me off!) but I think I need to with this hotel - please do not stay here unless you want to witness assaults in the hotel and hear people peeing! I stayed there for a week as I had moved down to Basingstoke for work and it was giving me the opportunity to find somewhere to live. The first night there was a "Do" downstairs and it was like the dj was in bed with me the music was so loud. The don't have anything in the walls to buffer any noise, so no sleep. The 2nd night my neighbour must have a bladder issue as I all I could hear was someone peeing next door (again the walls are very thin) all night. The next night the people who were staying across from me and next to me were causing a lot of noise and shouting - they then preceded to beat up the night porter at reception!!! The police unfortunately took 3 1/2 hours to come out so I don't think anyone got more than 3 hours sleep that night. I tried to find another hotel but everything was booked up so I had to put up with it so the rest of the week was similar. The reception staff were on the whole not very receptiony apart from one. The bathroom was not the best with yellow stains on the sink and bath from where the cold taps were dripping! I ended up asking my new landlord if I could move in early as they were having another party on the ground floor so no sleep would have been had. And finally I got my receipt given to me (as this was paid externally) and they charged me £8.50 for breakfasts when I had never eaten any of the breakfasts!!

I enjoyed my visit to basinstoke but was disappointed that there was no tea or coffee in the rooms also whren I went down for breakfast there was none left we asjked the person in the bar he was quite shocked it had all gone we then waited for more items to arrive even then we only had a sausage and some scrambled egg no orange juice was offered as it was empty also only had 1 coffee offered and no toast offered I appreciate breakfast times are busy we will be coming to basingstoke to visit family on a regular basis and we hope that we can stay with the red lion at all times but I was very disappointed with the breakfast but the staff were nice , I am in a very customer focused job and and expect to see other people in the same role to adhere to customer needs as in thinking outside the box sometimes and checking on these type of things thankyou otherewise we did enjoy our stay

Handily situated and ample free parking.

Comfortable bed.

No tea or coffee-making facilities in room.

Good location, room was fine. Good price.

Nice restaurant but breakfast was rather dried out despite my being the first in in the morning !

The Red lion hotel room was dated on the top floor . I lost all power to the room at mid-night. The staff was very good I was moved to a new room with in 10 mins So all was good after a night out thank you Mr c Warrick

Staff are friendly and the hotel is well located in the old High Street. The deal that I got on this particular weekend made it seem the perfect place for my needs.

My room had single glazing and faced into the back yard of the local night-club, Saturday night was rowdy with drunks until around 3am. This is not the fault of The Red Lion but they should install modern windows to protect their guests.

i didnt like the fact that hotel staff (possible chamber persons) were shouting up and down the corridor early in the morning approx 0700! asking for different kinds of bed linin!

Conveniently located for shopping and performances at the Anvil Theatre

No soap for bathroom until I asked at Reception

The Location was near to where my meeting was.

Was rather expensive.

Lovely staff, very good value and easy to find.

No fridge in room and polyester duvet and pillows - we both prefer feather.

Friendly staff, single room with more space than normally found in a single room. Easy location to festival place, free parking

Unable to adjust the heating, stayed during a very cold spell would have like to be warmer.

No tea/coffee facility in room
