Red Lion Hotel

It did the job - was a good location for our trip. Price reflect what you get but thought was good value for that.

Warm spacious disabled room with excellent wet room. Staff very friendly

Bethany st Front desk was very helpful in guiding me to restaurants and knowledge of area.

Staff were excellent. Room clean.

Once again, everything was excellent. I don't ask much, just a clean room and a good night's sleep.

Well located in the centre of town, with easy access to shops and eateries (although subject to some night-lie noise). Reception was efficient and friendly. Our double room on the first floor was no better than average; although clean, the overall feel of the corridors and room was rather tired, with scuffed paintwork, stained carpets and uneven laminate. The room size was fine, with a small TV, coffee making facilities and a decent sized bathroom. However, the bath panel was cracked, paintwork shabby, dripping tap, shower controls that didn't work, stained sink and bath-tub and an erratic toilet flush (towels were nice, though!) Breakfast was excellent, with a well stocked buffet of hot food, juices, fruit and pastries, with friendly service and the option to have freshly cooked poached or fried eggs (in addition to the scrambled eggs on the buffet). So, to summarise: Pro's: friendly staff, on-site parking, breakfast, location Cons : tired decor, sub-standard bathroom

Central location excellent staff

Good stay, comfy bed and good breakfast

I like to stay in the Red Lion when I visit the Anvil theatre. I have never been disappointed. Clean, comfortable and ideal for my needs.

As expected for a good price

Our reservation had been put in the wrong name by hotel staff - initially we were told we had arrived at the wrong hotel. I produced a copy of our reservation and eventually we were allowed to check in. We were allocated room 61 - about as far from the check-in as you could go! The room was dusty and both sink taps & shower head ran water when switched off. We had to put the shower head down in the bath and keep the bathroom firmly closed to get any sleep. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff very pleasant and helpful but the management need a kick up the arse!

Waited quite a while to check in as there was no one on reception. Room quite small, apart from the dressing table chair, there was no where else to sit, apart from the bed. We were at the back of the hotel, despite double glazing still very noisy, fortunately we had ear plugs. Came back from the theatre at 22:00, despite the bar advertising being open until 22:30, we were told it was closing, shutters were already down. Tea, coffee and biscuits were plentiful. Bed small but reasonably comfortable.

.

We were welcomed in by Beth, with a huge warm smile and a friendly greeting. She was extremely helpful, from making check in a breeze to giving us advice about local taxis. She is a fantastic representative for your hotel, and definitely deserves recognition for her hard work.

Parking is on site. Situated close to the town centre

The staff were wonderful, everything was clean and it was in a great location.

Staff were very good.

Uneven car park Relatively clean room Staff friendly Wi-Fi OK Restaurant doubles as venue for events Breakfast reasonable and held in restaurant area Two evening events ( first night till 12 pm was REALLY loud with participants very noisy sometime after midnight), 2nd night venue was much less of a noise issue. Probably will not return, sorry

Great hotel in central Basingstoke, close to everything. There was a function the night we stayed, it was very noisy but the staff moved us to a lovely room away from the noise. Special thanks to Beth 🙏
