Brilliant value.

We stayed the night when attending a show at the Anvil. The hotel was convenient for the town centre restaurants and the theatre. The hotel has free parking. Our room was spotless and clearly recently renovated. Other rooms had workmen replacing bathrooms, so the hotel Is being smartened up. The bed was comfortable, and the room warm. Reception staff were helpful. Overall, for the price we paid, it was excellent value for money and we will definately use again. We didnt stay for breakfast, so cant comment on food.

Red Lion Basingstoke

I stayed here for one night and chose this hotel for its location. The hotel check in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom spotless. The hotel messaged me in advance of my stay to explain as it’s a town centre hotel it may be noisy but I found it very quiet. The breakfast was ok, I chose the cooked breakfast and there was a range of items you can choose from along with a cold buffet. Very good priced hotel, with parking and clean and comfortable stay. I would stay here again.
