An old building but generally in good repair. It was so hot in the corridors to the bedrooms and in our bedroom (12), even with the window open. I look forward to a stay in the winter!

The staff were friendly and helpful. I found the room very restful with a comfortable bed and pillows. It had a homely feeling. Some of the public corridors needed a fresh lick of paint but it was clean and the art work lifted the feel of it. The cooked breakfast was excellent - best I have had in a hotel. I would use this hotel again. A very pretty town and area.

The room I stayed in had a noise like an large electric motor running nearby. The noise was fairly low level but noticeable due to its unusual nature.
Breakfast service is very slow, after 30 minutes I had to leave without receiving a cooked breakfast as I had a ferry to catch.

Very quiet room and a very comfortable bed. Excellent location. Room wasn't ready when I arrived (4pm). Very warm in the room but a desk fan helped to keep me cool.

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.
