The room was fantastic and the breakfast absolutely delicious. Liked the fact that we could park right outside our room in the courtyard. Grounds amazing as well.
Just 1.4 miles from the town centre, Crowne Plaza Basingstoke has a gym and a carvery restaurant. Access to the M3 is just 1 mile away.

The location was well situated near the motorway but not so close that noise pollution invaded the room and created difficulty sleeping or any other discomfort. Only a short walk to Basingstoke town centre for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also to have a look around the town and shopping centre. The room was larger than expected, very modern, nicely decorated and clean. The bar area on the ground floor was well decorated, clean, the staff were really nice and helpful and the whole hotel had a really nice atmosphere.
Located in Basingstoke centre, less than 10 minutes walk from the Railway Station, The Red Lion Hotel offers free Wi-Fi, free on-site and parking.

The noise from froom next door kept me up most of the night. I was so tired in the morning when I was going to be driving another 2 hours. Not very fair when I paid to have a rest.

The room was quiet, comfortable and had everything needed. There were good facilities at the hotel - dining room, seating area, bar, good parking and was easily accessible. The reception staff were helpful and friendly.
The hotel is situated within easy reach of the M3 and also Basingstoke. And I feel it was reasonably priced

Small town that has a really good shopping centre with a wide choice of the normal and more unusual shops. There are plenty of places to eat, cinema complex, theatre and a good selection of places to park.

A great mixture of old and new: new shopping mall cleverly melded into "old town". Very well looked after and litter-free. Lots of indoor activities especially for children and young families.
Excellent range of properties for folk wanting to settle there (with good access to London).
Lots of road works but probably a passing phase.

We didn’t really explore locally, but rather used it as a base to explore the whole area. It’s just a touch over an hours drive to the south coast, to Bath and to London. We visited Estates with some of the best art collections outside of London, the National Auto Museum, Wisley Garden, rode bikes in the New Forest, played disc golf, visited the Safari Park and much more. There’s a good pub 10 minutes walk away and a huge grocery store about 10 minutes drive away. Perfect!

Basingstoke was a surprise for me...
Basingstoke was a surprise for me...I hadn't expected it to be so full of art & culture. Every available space it seemed to me had been brought to life with a variety of paintings ; poetry ; lighting etc The streets were clean ...plenty of litter bins...hardly any graffiti...people seem to take a pride in their town, which was great to see. I rejoiced to see a market place being used and numerous independent shops as well as a vibrant shopping centre. There are also a number of well maintained green spaces - Eastrop and Glebe Gardens fir example.
I didn't have occasion to use the bus service but did use the railway station and went to Salisbury , Whitchurch and Romsey.
The Ring Rd is a bit of a challenge but at least the roundabouts are named , which is useful! There is easy access to the M3.
I went self catering but found a really nice coffee shop on the way to the station- I think it is called Willow Tea Room ...it is near the statue of the Bluecoat school boy!
It is multi cultural so you are spoilt for choice re eating out. The shopping centre is bright, clean and vibrant.

Very basic hotel that could do with updating.
Very basic hotel that could do with updating. Dirty coffee spoon in bedroom. Dinner only had once, poor quality so eat out in other restaurants, luckily plenty around within 5 mins walk. Internet very poor, could not use I Phones and on laptop very slow so hard to do work in eves.
Staff very nice & friendly
Like many of the large hotel chains this one looks tired and the interior is in need of a revamp. That said it doesn’t help where ‘guests’ leave bottles and glasses on the floor as potential trip hazards in the corridors.
The restaurant was closed on Saturday evening due to staff shortage, there is no central heating in the hotel and the air con system is inadequate for heating. The AA recruitment staff in the lounge were not initially happy with us being in there but we got along. The hotel was good for our meeting in the town centre.

After having to leave The Hampshire Court hotel due to it's dangerous and filthy condition. I had to find a hotel at very short notice.
Audleys Wood had availability at a higher price than I had paid at the pig pen, but if I had known how beautiful this hotel was and how fantastic the staff where I would be more than happy to have booked there first.
My deepest thanks go to all the staff, from the night Porter to the hotel Manager that saved our weekend away.
The staff went out of their way to get my room ready early after hearing I'd just left hospital. All the staff I interacted with were very professional, cheerful and helpful.
The food in the bar was excellent and well-priced.
Having stayed in a few other hotels in Basingstoke, I believe the rating on booking.com does not reflect the very positive experience I had and is too low.
I will be staying there again.
The room was really nice and seemed to have been recently decorated or refurbished.
It was good to have a microwave, toaster and fridge, as these are not provided in many budget hotels.
The welcome tray was very nice too, and there were plenty og coffee sachets for us. Having fresh milk was good too, as it is much nicer than the small cartons of long life milk provided in budget hotels.
Absolutely blissful stay though it's not in Basingstoke, it's in Dummer and connectivity through bus/public transport is not great so a good option only if one has a car. Martin & his wife were perfectly welcoming, sweet and helpful! Room was in a great condition and washroom was super clean. Lovely guest house situated in the countryside, and great views! 👍🏼
Quiet, clean and comfortable location for the overnight stay. Much better than staying in a hotel room. Close to all amenities, well presented with everything you would need for an extended stay. Good Wifi and well equipped apartment.
The staff were great. Special mention to Adam and Sarah who were friendly, polite and most helpful. It was no trouble at all to store our bikes safely. The hotel is well located for a stroll into town and close to eating places.
It has always been my favourite hotel in Basingstoke. Great breakfast, comfortable beds, perfect location and very pleasant staff (including the night porter). I never stay anywhere else in Basingstoke.
Very friendly and helpful staff, good location, iron and ironing board supplied in room, comfortable bed, great breakfast, well presented hotel and furnishings in communal and dining areas
I didn't know what to expect from this hotel but i have to say we were pleasantly surprised. All needs were covered and the room design is perfect for what you need for a short stay.
