We were very impressed with our short stay here as we required somewhere to sleep after a wedding that was nearby. We booked 2 rooms for our family and both were very spacious and clean. The staff were very helpful and thought we’d missed the breakfast after getting up late but were able to still get brunch!

The shower wasn’t working properly and as I was checkin the lady was quite rude as I arrived at 11 and she didn’t like the fact that I was able to book a two night stay that late and was just rude

The pictures are deceiving. The photos make you believe that the hotel is much nicer than it actually is in real life. Every room door looks best up and the fire doors look like you are entering a penitentiary or hospital for the insane.

Major issue with safety as bedside lamps were hanging by their electrical cord. Also arriving at 5pm the room was not ready as they were short of staff. Quality of food at breakfast was really good but took a long time to prepare and the staff were trying to close the dining area while guests were still eating

We really enjoyed our short stay at the Swan. Every aspect of our stay met or exceeded our expectations. The room was very comfortable, food was excellent quality and very good value.
I will be using this Hotel again, when we visit Alton, and would not hesitate recommending the Swan.

The entire team at Swan Hotel was very friendly and engaged well with the guests. The restaurant was excellent for both breakfast and dinner. Our superior room was large, clean and very comfortable. The hotel was an easy 30 minute walk to Jane Austen’s home and Chawton. Would highly recommend the Swan Hotel for a stay in Alton.
