The first room we were given was in the car park! Tiny and extremely hot. This was barely a £50 room and definitely not the £100 I paid. My daughter asked if we could be moved and we were moved to room 106 which was large but also hot. There was an air con unit but couldn't have that on at night as it was noisy. The street outside was extremely noisy in the night. I suggest a complete overhaul , new double gazed windows and central air conditioning. We paid £8 for Continental breakfast which was also disappointing, only tow types of pastry, not very fresh, coffee tasted stewed. All in all adissapointing stay which was a shame as this, pus Highclere was a 50th birthday treat for my daughter, here from Australia. The saving grace was a very comfortable bed and the check in any was wonderful..

Not the best, but good breakfast.

Room was small, with terrible view out the window, alley way was used by people at night as a cut through and woke my partner up, walls are thin. Bathroom could do with a bit of work, grout around the bath and tiles could do with sorting, shower head run.

Disappointed this time

Stayed few times. We are disappointed this time. 1. the so called air cooler is the waste of space. When you switch it on and put either fan or cool mode, it make the noise that no nowe will sleep. Instead of this if they give us normal fan that would have been begetter. Since e the night is cool, we managed it buy owning the window. 2. The most disappoint met was the shower. You do not get steady hot water every 30 to 45 seconds you get the cold water and you get warm water and again back to cold water which was very cold 3. The mirror for shaving over the wash basin - not working. The pull cord is permanently in one position.

After we found parking, we checked in- it was easy. The receptionist was friendly. The hotel location is good - in the pretty town centre with good amenities very close by. Room was comfy, basic but had everthing we needed for our 1 night stop over. We slept well but scratching above woke us a few times. (There were visible rats about the area).
