I stayed for 2 nights in August - the rooms are OK, if a little on the small side, with most of the space taken up by the bed. The A/C was efficient, the iron & board were handy and everything else in the room worked.

Probably the best thing about the hotel is it's location - situated in woodlands, a walk around the ground on a nice day can be a pleasant distraction. There is a well laid out courtyard in the centre of the hotel and a well equipped fitness centre and pool.

I eat in the restaurant both nights - the food was OK, without being outstanding and was reasonably priced. A plus point is that the breakfast is cooked to order, but unfortunately the staff are not exactly efficient, to the extent that I never even got my breakfast on my last day there.

It's handy for both Hook and Basingstoke, but given the choice, I don't think that would stay again.

We have just spent 2 nights at this hotel and its pretty mediocre at best. The village of Hook is approximately 1 mile away but there is little else close by. However, as we were going to a wedding at the Four Seasons, this did not effect us. There are gym/spa and swimming pool facilities available but if as we did , you are allocated a room above the gym, and overlooking the car park, there is no chance of a 'lie in' because of the music vibrating from the gym or very inconsiderate car park users. Our relatives who were further along the hotel, were not subjected to this. The cleanliness of the rooms is just OK. It is not pristine. I won't go into detail, but our toilet was disgusting (outside the bowl - not the inside) How a cleaner could have missed it is beyond me but the Housekeeper was most apologetic. We didn't eat at the hotel simply because we feel £15 is quite expensive for breakfast. The hotel was very busy, but I think it was mainly wedding guests as there was a wedding going on. The reception staff were extremely helpful and professional. Don't think we will be returning.

Advertised as a four star but travellers beware. Hotel is tired, overpriced for what it is (a 3 star really), restaurant food quality is extremely sub standard and their much hailed fitness centre is cramped and soulless. On the plus side, the staff are friendly enough but fighting a losing battle with a woeful hotel. All I got was a meek smile when I suggested £14 was an extortionate price for two Weetabix. (All that seemed edible during breakfast). Hotel is easy to find, but that may be a bad thing!

Found a good deal on the hotel's website and thoroughly enjoyed our week-end. Nice quiet room, overlooking the courtyard. Staff very friendly and professional. Breakfast was partly self-service (cold) but cooked eggs, bacon etc served at the table. No compaints. Dinner was three courses from set menu -good variety. Hotel very busy on both nights - staff coped admirably! Hotel's location is pleasant, though the building is a labirynth of stairs and corridors. Those guests with mobility problems need to request rooms near reception to avoid the stairs, as there are no lifts. This is our fourth Paramount break and, providing the price is right, the chain delivers its product without disappointment. The Paramount Leisure Club is worth joining, as membership will add value to your stay.
