We were here for a wedding so really just wanted a place to crash in (thankfully!). Our room was freezing cold when we arrived and like previous people have commented, no hot water came out of the tap. We were told this was because the hot water had run out. The bathroom was dirty, as was the bedroom carpet. Bed... more

My girlfriend and I booked up at last minutes before reading the reviews on here. The night before we left I read the reviews on here and was worried. Our worries were gone once we arrived. The welcome we received was warm. We were in a twin room (no 33). We didn't see any thread bare carpet, apart from the... more

We were 15 blokes on a cricket tour of the area and being such do not expect the earth but the hotel was dirty, one of the bathrooms was flooded, wallpaper hanging off, carpets threadbear. We were promised that the bar would remaim open till midnight but were made very uncomfortable to order drinks past 11 30pm so we took... more

My wife and I stayed in the Bear hotel for one night in January 2008 we found it in a state of terminal decline. We wrote to Greene King who advised us that they were taking action to improve the hotel as it is May and from the comments shown things have not improved. I would suggest that any dissatisfied... more

Weekend break taken at the Hotel on assumption Greene King the well known brewers would be a good recommendation. Oh dear not so. The hotel has been sadly neglected over many years.

My wife and I stayed at The Bear Hotel , havant, Hants. We stayed for 4 days and being well travelled people we feel that we are quite honest in our opinion. We have travelled alot of the world and can honestly say that the service we received was impeccable. The food that we had the privelage of eating was... more

There is nothing good to say about this place. Food is really dreadful, properly bad. Rooms are grubby. Staff are grumpy and unhelpful, actually the bar staff were ok but were having to be friendly when the guy in charge wasn't there....go anywhere else ! i've never reviewed anything else before, but you need to be warned!!! more

Well what can say- just wish I'd checked this website before booking my stay! Arrived at The Bear with my girlfriend Friday lunchtime, and were told we had been moved to room 49 in order to accommodate a large party due to arrive the following day- not sure if we were "upgraded" or not, but would dread to see the... more
