Lovely room, nice and spacious. Great staff including the receptionist, who was brilliant and very welcoming!

Excellent staff, very helpful and courteous. Stayed for 2 nights and room was cleaned each day with fresh towels. Very easy parking. Only downside was the bed mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. WiFi was excellent and the shower was strong and hot which is always nice.

I didn’t experience that much. It was just a place to lay my head and rest.

Better and cheaper than Holiday Inn and the Premier Highly recommended

Nice hotel. Staff attentive, friendly but not overpowering. Barring one niggle (below), we had a good stay. The Gluten-free options for my wife at Breakfast were wide-ranging and good. The hotel is centrally situated, and so there are plenty of places you can walk to (park, shops, restaurants) within 2 or 3 minutes. Didn't use the bar or dine in except one breakfast, so can't comment, but it is the same area as where breakfast is served, and is spacious and clean. The room was clean, and refreshments and towels were replenished. ONLY negative point:The room we were in (43), not sure if it applies to others, had a towel rail that is permanently on, without any on/off/thermostat control. This made the room too warm, and having the window open only just countered this. Since there was a double switch outside the bathroom, and only one of them appeared to do anything (bathroom light), maybe the other could be repurposed for the towel rail and labelled as such?

Friendly welcome, lovely room and bathroom and good breakfast

I had a lovely stay at the Red Lion. My travel plans got changed, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and immediately put me at ease - couldn't do enough for me which is always appreciated. The rooms themselves are very cozy and comfortable - I particularly liked the abundance of bird paintings and prints as decor, they were genuinely nice surprise. The shower was a particular highlight, two different showerheads, great water pressure and some lovely complimentary shower gel and conditioner. As I was staying over a weekend, the hotel staff took the courtesy of warning about potential noise from the nearby high street, however this was a non-issue during my stay - once the window was shut, I put my head down to sleep with no issues whatsoever. I would quite gladly stay at the Red Lion again next time I'm in Basingstoke, the place has a real charm and character to it and the service was genuinely excellent.

Hotel was clean & tidy. Lady on check in "Rose" was fab. Great location for eateries & bars in the town.

Great staff who were welcoming and listened & responded to requests both before & during stay.

Hotel needs a refurb. We upgraded to superior room but carpet was badly stained. Bathroom needs upgrading. Basic breakfast

Friendly staff Perfect for the centre of town

Clean and comfortable room.Very helpful and friendly staff deserve a sixth star.

Great hotel perfect spot parking also stayed many times

This hotel is conveniently located with ample car parking. The staff were very friendly and inviting. The hotel is old but well maintained. The room and bathroom are clean but reasonable basic. Tv struggled to pick up any channels. Also there was no fesilitie

clean room good staff

Really lovely staff - went above and beyond to be helpful & kind.

Didnt have breakfast so can't comment. My stay was fabulous in every respect. Had a meal in restaurant yesterday. It was well presented, fairly priced and delicious.

Great staff. Clean room. Easy parking

Breakfast was good, nice enough selection. Bed was not very comfortable and this caused a struggle to sleep well. Room was cold at times and heater did not seem to heat the room or bathroom well. However, staff were very friendly. Overall for the price it was adequate, however i would not have paid more.
