Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

staff were welcoming and polite, room was spacious and clean. bar/restaurant was also good. Break fast was also very good quality. Nothing to fault really but if I had to pick a fault I would say there was a lack of vegan options. stayed in many 4 star hotels nowhere near as good.

A lovely pub/hotel with great rooms and fabulous staff. It is perfectly located in the centre of Alresford . We stayed in room 20 which had a four poster comfy bed , a free standing tub in the bedroom and a lovely shower. The breakfast we had was top quality and delicious. It was our fourth visit and we will be back.

Room in annexe overlooking car park was clean with comfortable beds. Room heating easily controlled and windows could be opened for fresh air. Staff friendly and helpful, breakfast good. Only drawback was not being able to find a space in hotel car park until 10.30pm when restaurant guests had left.

For the fourth year on the trot our region of the Sunbeam Talbot Alpine Register held its annual lunch at The Swan Hotel. As usual some stayed over for the night. The welcome, lunch organisation, service and food were all first class. Every staff member friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and everything works. The breakfast is good. For those that enjoy real ale the well stocked bar includes that as well. Really, nothing not to like. We shall certainly be back again for our lunch next year.

I was very impressed. My room was quiet, lovely and warm, and everything I could need was provided. I was able to park my car in the hotel car park. Breakfast was good with several options and well cooked. The little croissants were warm and crisp, and the service very prompt and friendly. I would gladly stay again at the Swan.

The room was lovely and very comfortable . Cosy and warm on one of the coldest nights. Lovely nights sleep. The staff in the restaurant did their job, but a better service would have been appreciated. Also perhaps a smile. Would come back.
