The Crown was exactly what I expected it to be. When I went looking for lodgings in Alton, I didn't want flimsy Ikea furniture and a sterile environment. If we'd been looking for that, we would have stayed in some posh, $200-a-night hotel in London. I wanted something with history and character that, most importantly, fit our budget. The Crown...

From the moment we checked in the staff could not be more friendly. We had a large double room with en-suite. The bed had crisp white linen and was very comfortable. Would stay again if needed Hotel in Alton.

Stayed here for one night - perfect location in the centre of Alton with car parking, service was superb, rooms clean, and the breakfast was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel has an interesting history too, especially for any ghost hunters!

The beds were fine and rooms are average, but I would avoid staying here if you don't like cold bathrooms. The breakfast however is very good and location is great- right on the high street. It felt more like a B&B than a hotel. If you're looking for simple accommodation and conveniently located, then the Crown hotel is fine. If... More

We stayed here in July 2012. I would not do so again. The room seemed clean enough, but the furnishings were dated and frankly had seen better days. When we came down for breakfast the next morning, there was no-one about. Having waited for almost half an hour from when the breakfast that we had already paid for was due... More

I've tried a couple of places around Alton, for short work trips. This is the best so far. On arrival I was met by smiling staff who were happy to chat and made me feel very welcome. It felt like I'd stayed there loads of times. My room (4) overlooking the front street was well kept and perfectly adequate. The... More

We arrived at the reception area which was shabby and dismal and I had to hope that the room was going to be a great deal better as £70 for the two of us in what is really a pub B & B rather than a hotel was pricey to say the least. The room, though apparently recently redecorated, was... More

We booked our room through LateRooms. We had booked a double room but later had a phone call from the hotel to say that they only had a twin room left which I said would be okay. However when we arrived at the hotel on the specified day they had no booking for us, or rather they did but somehow... More

I booked two rooms for 1 night while my wife and I were helping our daughter house-hunt in the area. The rooms we had were clean, with a good standard of linens, but pretty basic otherwise with extremely thin walls and doors that banged noisily if you weren't careful in closing them. Car parking behind the pub was the main... More
