The room had everything you need but wasn’t clean and they don’t clean during your stay either. You can get new towels from reception, but no one is coming to get your previous wet/used ones.
Reception desk is impressive and the 2 girls were smiley and attentive. Bathroom was ok but looking very tired. Shower was good and powerful. Parking is easy and the golf course looks good. For the price it wasn’t great value. We might stay again if we can’t find anything better, for the next Goodwood festival of speed.

Very disappointing. Let down by poor and indifferent service* and by very disappointing food**

*Some service was ok (the lady on check-in was friendly, if clueless about where food was being served!) but most was indifferent and the chap on checkout didn’t even break away from his computer screen to make eye contact or say more than three words (I assume, as we were checking out late, that he already knew who we were and didn’t want to risk asking if our stay had been ok).

**I paid a lot of money for Dinner Bed & Breakfast, but (of three restaurants) only the bar area was open so our only choice was a very limited bar menu without even the ‘luxury’ of table service!

Beautiful setting with a upmarket vibe around the complex.
Entrance lobby and reception very smart.
Staff were helpful.
We decided on the cheaper windowless room knowing there was a skylight with natural light. But skylight blind was broken .
Room was not cleaned or replenished over the two day stay.
Leisure facilities were very good but at £10 per visit per person remember to bare this in mind in price comparisons.
Food was reasonable but quite pricey for what it was.
All said I would return even just for the pleasure of the golf course !

Turning up to find the front door 'out of order' and taped up with red and white plastic hazard tape was indicative. No air con in room. No fridge in room. No making up of room at all for 3 night stay. All inclusive dining menu appalling until complaint. Use of spa and gym not included for hotel guests, a £5 surcharge per person was required. We refused and were only allowed access for our stay without payment as we threatened to cancel the 2 x £95 massage treatments we had already booked. Litter and cigarette ends scatted everywhere in the general access outside spaces such as the restaurant terrace.
The standard of cleanliness was generally appalling. Most of the willing staff were not particularly able and most of the more able staff were not particularly willing. Non dairy white coffee was an issue at breakfast, we insisted one morning and it was done through 'gritted teeth' and the next morning it was refused. The hours for breakfast are all wrong. 07-09 on weekdays and 07-10 at weekends. Both sessions end half an hour early and were policed with unnecessary rigor. The price of everything was 'top-end' and the value of much of it 'mid to lower end'. eg 2 x G&T £ 27.00. We played 9 holes of golf twice, the course was very good and not busy at the late afternoon tee times we had, but it felt very expensive to play and also to hire very average clubs. We just spent the one hour drive back home talking non-stop about how unnecessarly poor this experience was. Not recommended

Room was pretty clean but felt like I had walked into a time paradox as the room felt like it was from the 90's, bed skirt was damaged and the bath also heavily stained and damaged as well. Quiet location and slept pretty well but I always search for a hotel with a gym however expedia needs to start filtering hotels like this out as a basic room costing into 3 figures and then im being asked to pay to use the gym which is totally out of order in my opinion. The bar was obscenely expensive (£4.85 for a soft drink) and the bar tender dipping the glass into the ice as well a massive H&S issue so didnt bother with dinner and breakfast was also not included either. As a whole not the worst place ive been but unlikely to stop here again

From start to finish the stay at this venue was one of the worst I've experienced.

We were staying as a wedding party and were told that we didn't need to book for dinner as there were ample people on hand to accommodate. Turned out there was 1 bar staff and one chef so they could only take 5 orders at a time and you then had to wait for another 15 minutes before the next 5 could order. In the end half our party left to go and get food elsewhere as after an hour and a half most still had not even ordered food.

The manager admitted this was still being used as an asylum hotel and they had skeleton staff.

We didn't book breakfast due to the extortionate price, however, we did go down and sit with the family. Breakfast should of been from 0630 - 1030 but didn't open until 0720 and shut just after 9 on both days due to staffing issues. Added to this, there were no bowls for cereal, the food was awful and to top things off one of the party found a metal screw in his beans!

I would recommend hotels.com remove this hotel from their site until it gets itself sorted as it is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in

The breakfast food kept running out and was not replenished. It was hopeless.
The swimming pool is nice, but cost an extra £5 per person to swim for an hour at a time.

On arrival, hotel looks beautiful. Lots of free parking. Check in was easy. We booked a family room for 4 people.
The room itself, initially looked nice but on closer inspection wasn’t great; mould specs on curtains, carpet was full of stains, furniture old & worn, complementary gifts; basic & cheap, no reading light or air con (& it was a hot night) only a fan supplied which helped a little. No plugs next to bed & pillows were hard. Bedding clean (ish) & beds comfy (ish). A Wallpaper magazine, was out for show on the dresser dated Dec ‘24. It all looks good but finer details are overlooked & make it like feel budget hotel.
Overall the room could do with modernising & a good clean!

Breakfast was basic; condiments unbranded & a limited selection. Lots of overcooked English buffet food. Dining eating area was dirty; random chips on window sill, carpets need a good hoover. Staff not very welcoming or friendly.

The pool is sold as part of the hotel & your stay. This is very misleading. This is NOT included & is £5 pp each day to use. Facilities were nice & worth £5 but this should be included in the price if you staying at the hotel. I spoke to the receptionist who advised, this is a complaint they receive a lot.

Overall, looks great but really isn’t. I wouldn’t stay here again not would I recommend. It was okay, nothing more.

Room was £144 PLUS the additional £20 for swimming, total of £164.
I’ve stayed in much nicer places for much less.
Disappointing.

Had promise driving up to the site. Had booked dinner to find restaurant closed and only buffet served. Fine as it was a hot day. Oh dear, oh dear. Couple of greasy pork chops and unidentified fish in warmers. No offer of a drink. Went to the bar to fill up on crisps. Perhaps breakfast would be better? Even worse. The few choices were let down by no crockery, having been used the night before and no washing up done. Three plates for at least 10 people waiting, no cups to use the machine, no glasses to get some orange juice out of the other machine, no bread. Management/Supervisors conspicuously absent. Poor younger members of staff left to deal with the resultant moaning. Potentially good hotel let down by those running it.

Very pleased with this choice of hotel, that the staff seem to take great pride in and conduct themselves like they have shares in it. Evening meal was great quality. Fitness facilities require you to walk outside of the hotel, but are worth it. Location was perfect for me having to access a few different towns in the area, and remote with far-reaching views surrounding. My only complaint would have been that I had an accessible room (I may have booked in a hurry), and the furniture arrangement was accessibility-centred and slightly inconvenient. Overall, a great hotel and will definitely stay again when in the area for business.

Nice hotel. Lovely room. Shame about other guests shouting and using foul language outside our bedroom window before breakfast Which woke my 5 and 8 year old up. Then the police turned up. But the damage was done with the comments.

My daughter was a bit upset that a light was broken in the pool and looked like it had become loose and fallen on the pool floor.

I would use the hotel again for some golf. As never managed to use those facilities.

Staff came across very pleasant and polite, helpful. Etc. mainly dealt with the front desk and the lady in the golf shop. Both very helpful.

we didn’t eat dinner at the hotel as could not find a menu anywhere. Which we could not risk with two young kids, not knowing if they would like the food. We did ask but got told it was a buffet. A buffet of what we didn’t know.

There's no daily room servicing so you have to ask if you need anything e.g toilet paper, tea/coffee, towels.

You’ll experience an awful lot of creaking floorboards in this hotel which isn’t a problem unless you’re room is directly beneath someone who moves around a lot. The room I stayed in also had a weird kind of old person smell that you really notice when you first enter your room but which, I suppose you just get used to when you’re in for the night. The spa facilities also close far too early and is the reason I couldn’t get to use it during my stay. Really friendly and helpful staff. In particular Mohi and Alex were both incredibly helpful and professional and are a credit to the hotel.

Yes, I am an environmentalist and am happy for my bed linen on a short stay not to be unnecessarily changed but I felt as we were on a short break the pleasure in staying in a hotel is partly achieved by the room being refreshed ie: tea making facilities and the bed being made essential in a stay if this kind.
The staff I’m afraid were a little dismissive and appeared to avoid engaging with you at any point.
The lack of prior information regarding the swimming pool charges (which was a first for us) £5.00 per person my grandchildren included excessive. We booked as we do several times a year hotels with these spa facilities to be naturally included be a little grabbing. What were we paying for? Just a bed & breakfast as everything else or anything else was not included. The hotel was clean & the breakfast good but it was not the best experience we’ve had which is unfortunate.

The hotel has become progressively worse since I’ve been using it the last two years. It has now got to a point where I will not be using it again. Restaurant closed and no one informed us, there was a buffet offered which was well overpriced and poor, to make it worse all the kitchen units and hot plates in the buffet room were thick with dust and debris on the top, which is why I never eat breakfast offered in that room, then and I asked how long the restaurant would be closed for, and the manager who usually operates the bar restaurant just walked off and said ‘I don’t know, don’t ask me’. The hotel is a long distance to anything else and it was very late in the evening, no one informed us of this. I was here on business too, so talking to a colleague, we had food delivered, then told we can’t eat in any open areas, either room or outside, so it ruined two nights of working dinners with my team. A new young team in the spa, that you have to pay for are more interested in their phones than taking your money and just sit behind a desk. The previous personnel only a couple of months ago were fantastic. The rooms are generally clean and stocked properly, keep temperature but now all the floor boards are starting to creek heavily and you can hear people all around and above. The management have let this place become a shadow of its previous self.

It's a nice location and parking is easy, although the lane to the hotel is quite busy with golf traffic at times.

The bar and restaurant was fair at best, little choice for a hotel bar and many offerings that were listed on menu's for Gins and food menus not actually available.

If you're in a rush don't order food, if you're not desperate expect 40-50 minutes wait between tapping your card at the bar and picking up your eating irons...

Excellent staff, reception staff extremely so. Spacious hotel with excellent facilities.
Sadly the lower floors of the hotel were uncomfortably cold.

Couldn't get hold of the spa to book any treatments prior to our visit and while we were there. That is part of the reason we wanted to stay there. Rooms were not cleaned properly and worn out items in the bathroom. The food was average.

It was busy when we arrived late afternoon so limited parking. Nice hotel. Convenient for visiting Southampton and Portsmouth. Would stay here again.

Won’t go back or recommend

Arrived on Sunday night to be told the restaurant was closed all week and it was a hot buffet, looked at menu and paid the £29.95. It was appalling, the staff seemed embarrassed one of them even referring to it as slops! No one available to refund, or on Monday before and after work. Breakfast buffet supremely mediocre and when asking for poached eggs I was told they didn’t do them.
You have to pay a nominal fee even as a resident to use the pool facilities and, I had regrettably booked for 2 nights, housekeeping don’t come mid stay which I have never experienced before.
The pressure on the shower was good though paint was flaking off the bath.
All in all a total refurb is needed here, and a total review of catering.
There is no indication on the website that the restaurant might be closed, it came across that this happens when there are too many guests.
To add insult to injury when I had my deliveroo arrive on Monday night and went to borrow some cutlery I was told I couldn’t unless I paid £5 and presented with a wooden alternative!!!!

Hotel is in general poor health, £5 gym fee wasn't shown when booking and not told on check-in, and no evening food apart from a buffet at a cost of £30... won't be staying here again!!

No plug sockets near bed where phone can be charged.
Nearest sockets all 'special' (non UK standard).
Had to unplug TV and charge phone out of reach and use.
If UK sockets are disdained, USB ports near the bed would have been very useful.
Apart from that everything else was A1

No food, not enough staff, great receptionist

Receptionist on booking in was fantastic, she had a huge queue due to lack of staff but dealt with the situation really well.
No food to order the bar staff advised just a buffet and take a look before you commit was their advise! We did and it was rubbish hardly anything there so we left.
The fantastic receptionist recommended the square in wickham and we had a great meal there.

Check In - staff were at idds woth what was inclided and not up to date on what was going on in the hotel.
Restaurant was closed although we were told is was open... Food was not worth the money.
Tried the buffet dinner the following night, again, was not worth the money.
Actually found a local cafe for breakfast having heard that the hotel was not worth the money.
The staff were lovely, not hyper efficient but pleasant.
Occupants in adjoining rooms were incredibly noisy, and later found local police were called.
Room was very plain.
No maid service following day...
Oh, and the whole pool thing?!?!
£5 to pay to use it in addition to our already over priced room fee really was NOT worth it and really was the last straw.

I hadn't stayed in aBritannia Hotel for quite a number of years because standards had slipped. This hotel really surprised me, it was of a high standard and immaculately presented. Helpful staff and the late check in was ideal as we arrive by cross channel ferry so we knew that we would be late checking in. Its a pity that we didn't have time to use the spa and golf course.
