Relaxing stay in a good location.
This hotel has been known to 4 generations of my family and I wanted to experience it and Fareham for myself.
The hotel was great - and the range of breakfast items and friendly attentiveness of the breakfast staff was exceptional.
The hotel is well placed for Fareham centre.

Comfortable Base for Visiting the Area
As always, we were well looked after by the friendly Red Lion team. Our room was comfortable and clean, and up to expectations. Meals in the hotel restaurant were good, with a good variety on the menu. The hotel makes an ideal base for visiting the area and its attractions.

We really enjoyed our stay, great location, close to train station and shopping centre. Stairs very creaky but to be expected in an old building.

Ok, but not exceptional. Reasonable value
Typical old town centre pub, repurposed into hotel/eating place.
Standard Greene King food offering, ok but not exceptional.
Room condition was good and comfortable, only negative was an all pervading aroma in the room and in the Stables accommodation area - like a strong aftershave!
Overall, reasonable value.

Shower Leaking on to Bathroom Floor
Comfortable stay. The only problem was the shower leaking all over the bathroom floor. It was on a solid bar and not adjustable. Tried everything with the shower curtain to keep the floor protected. I think because the show rail is straight and doesn’t curve round the end of the bath, this causes the problem.

Unclean
Bathroom was nothing short of a disgrace.
The last person's Toothpaste all over the taps and generally unclean. The shower also floods, and the flush barley works. Looked like something from the 70's.
Silicon about 2" wide

Disappointing stay - noisy barking dogs!!
The rooms do require refurbishing and although clean they look a little tired. The hotel caters for visitors with pets. We were extremely disappointed that our room was in a section of the hotel where dogs barking kept us awake for most of the night. We reported this to reception staff when checking out and received a half hearted apology

Well-sited hotel with attached pub.
Large pub and restaurant with a good number of rooms. On site parking (which guests don't pay for, register your car at hotel reception). Room was comfortable, but hot (a fan was provided). Breakfast was good, though the staff were under pressure because most guests seemed to arrive around 8.15am on Saturday and expected to be immediately seated. I'd suggest checking with Reception on breakfast patterns if you are in a hurry. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Bar staff have no manners
Bar staff were incredibly rude. A number of us staying in the hotel wanted to sit and play cards in the evening and were refused service, told we had 10 minutes before we had to to 'get out' and were shouted at by a very hostile lady to go to our rooms. Extremely unfriendly and condescending.
