We stayed at the Marwell Hotel for a wedding - but found it to be a disappointment. For the price paid, I was expecting a good 3* - ok 4* standard. As we didn't really spend much time in the room, I wouldn't normally mind about a few imperfections or a dated look, but this time, it really didn't fit... More

I booked this hotel for a friend and his family to say thank you for a number of things I took a deal which also included dinnner although I was clear that this included starter and main course deserts/extras/drinks were payable to the hotel. I paid in advance so there would be no problem. Turns out that at breakfast if... More

A decent hotel, worthy of the price. Good, clean rooms, good breakie, friendly staff but check in was slow and confusing. Check out better, but overcharged initially. Would recommend to family as good bar.

We booked a number of rooms as part of a package, which centred around a wedding. The wedding arrangements went well, and there was plenty of good food, but there were some issues with the rooms and on-site marketing of offers. I won't reiterate the comments that many people made about the corridors, except to say that before the cleaners... More

An interesting hotel built very largely from timber. For those of you who are students of buildings, you will notice the unusual construction and layout. Some curious design details like no gutters on the roof. Rooms are in blocks supported two or three feet above the ground and linked by long glazed (and unheated) passageways with piped music. The rooms... More

I had checked out this hotel on a previous visit to Marwell Zoo but it was even better than I had expected. Our executive room, 219, is one of the last executive rooms to have been refurbished. I told the receptionist when I booked that we were taking our daughter to a secret destination as it was her birthday on... More
