How to rate this place; well it was perfectly adequate in most ways, well below satisfactory for the discerning and as I overhead the Aussie backpackers saying a few table over at breakfast ‘bloody brilliant’. So it is what you’d expect. And how you rate it depends on what’s important to you and your level of relativity to the outside world. Cheap - and it was! Dated and shabby - in a typical old English pub kind of way. This had its own charm, like the labyrinth of corridors and tiny up and down stair cases to get to the rooms.but also downfalls, like mismatched pain colour in the room where obviously once a painting hung and a toilet roll holder hanging on by a loose screw. Clean (enough) but not really. Some would’ve thought it fine, I wasn’t letting my kids roll around and play on the carpet. Comfy beds. New mattress and crisp linen, although the making could’ve been improved. Great location. Central, in the heart of Andover and will enough parking. Would I recommend it for a weekend away to impress the missus? Nup. A quick stopover on the way through? Yep if you can put up with the foibles and just want a cheap sleep.

Great staff on reception. Very convenient location. Room was clean and well equipped.

Very quiet and pleasant stay will definitely stay there again
