Very clean and comfortable room, free parking right outside, great location. Wouldn’t recommend the breakfast - plenty of better options a short walk away on the high street.

Sweet hotel with pub in the middle of Alton. Very convenient location and very cozy, comfortable room. Staff was great. We had dinner and food was top notch. We were there during the intense heat wave and there was no air conditioning, but I don’t think there is any in the village. Staff was accommodating with fans.

This is a very nice little inn. My wife and I love to stay here every time we come to visit family in Alton. It is just what we are looking for: a nice, clean place to spend the night. Highly rated.

The hotel was comfortable and clean a few tweaks would help like no toilet brush in the bathroom and there was only one hand towel. The hotel looked a bit tired in place but in all fairness it was having a refurbishment. All in all our stay was very comfortable although i think the rooms would benefit from air con in these increasingly hot conditions. The location was good in the centre of the high st.

We had a fantasic stay in the Swan. All of the staff were great. The accommodation was first rate. The bed was really comfortable. We had two meals and a breakfast there, they were really nice. It is ideally situated for the village and surrounding countryside. We will be using it again. Thank you for making our visit special.

Located in the high street with parking it was ideal for a one night stopover. Room was very pleasant & spacious and comfy bed. Breakfast was really good- buffet items plus cooked to order menu. Couldn’t fault anything. Excellent value for money.

Our double room was a bit small. Okay for a couple of nights, not so good if we’d wanted to stay longer. Also, like a lot of budget hotels, the windows on the ground floor were locked shut. Not great during the heatwave.

Fantastic hotel! Perfect location. Lovely staff, free parking, and spotlessly clean. There's always something in the cleanliness area that makes me pull a face in most hotels I've stayed in, but not here, absolutely spotless! Lovely stay, highly recommended, and will most definitely return

Greater warmly by Ryan who checked us in & showed us our room. Room was clean & adequate for one night. Bed comfy & clean soft sheets. Parking was available but we were unable to gain access due to a fire up the high street. Bar staff lovely. Restaurant very nice comfortable & food was really nice.

My second visit in 2 months based on my first, very positive experience. Again I booked the dinner, bed and breakfast package for a similar value to a bed and breakfast stay elsewhere. I was given a room on the ground floor close to the dining area and rear entrance which suited me fine. Parking was easy and dinner was tremendous. I went for the same walk to Chawton. A great night's sleep was followed by a great breakfast and I left again very fulfilled with my accommodation experience.

The hotel ticked all the boxes and was just the job. The decor in the room needed a bit of TLC and the windows needed repair or replacement. The staff however were great, really helpful, attentive and considerate.

Despite some minor issues with our room(Room 20), i.e. missing drawer knob, TV monitor tilting precariously on the bedroom wall, no additional blankets, I truly cannot praise. EVERY STAFF MEMBER, especially Ruth and Caroline who were top notch with their genuine smile and hospitality THROUGHOUT. Of course, if you guys offer a complimentary car wash in the price...you'd surpass the Waldorf Astoria for an incredible visiting experience.....!

Overall, it did the job. Parking was easy with CCTV protection. Excellent service, spotlessly clean with good food and fine wine. It is an old building and the decor was tired in places however, it was very reasonably priced and a good town centre location.
