Alton House Hotel

Check in was easy and the staff were amazing during my entire stay. I stayed in a single room, the room was surprisingly spacious and well laid out and had a decent sized bathroom. Couple of things to note: Room was on the third floor, there is no elevator. Not too much of a problem as the stairs are not steep or narrow. Room was in the”attic space” so being just over 5’ tall wasn’t too much of a problem, but anyone taller may find it a bit of a problem. Room had great skylights with really good black out blinds! Hotel is showing a little wear and tear, but considering the age of the building it’s nothing major. It has a lot of charm. Food was also really good, and reasonably priced. Reception area is very welcoming with a fire going the entire time (I visited in Jan!). It’s also a nice place to sit and read with a drink (bar is handy being right next door) Big bonus is the ease of getting around, it’s less than 5 mins from the train station and about a 5 min walk into the town. It’s also only a 35-40 min walk to Jane Austen’s house and Chawton House. Which is another bonus! Overall would 100% stay here again!

From the moment we arrived the staff were so helpful and friendly which continued throughout our 2night stay. Room a lovely size. Lovely and warm too. Food was great and bar staff attentive too. All in all a very relaxing experience and would thoroughly recommend to others.

Very welcoming on arrival. Hotel is well maintained and has lovely decor. Good service in dining room, bedroom clean and comfortable
