A decent place to stay. Excellent value for money. Comfortable beds. Lovely bathroom. Very clean. Bring your own toiletries, which I always do. There is a hairdryer. We ate in the pub, the food was lovely. The staff are very pleasant. We will return.

Always like staying in this hotel with a maze of corridors and levels and quirky features such as the uneven floors due to age. Rooms are always clean and well-presented with the only drawback being a lack of a simple thing as a box of tissues. Skipped the breakfast option on this occasion (£12.50) but I have eaten there and the food is very nice (inc. the breakfast options !).

The pictures are deceiving. The photos make you believe that the hotel is much nicer than it actually is in real life. Every room door looks best up and the fire doors look like you are entering a penitentiary or hospital for the insane.

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.
