Best Western Romans Hotel, Basingstoke

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: None

...Stopped in this hotel last August and was very satisfied with the overall experience.The hotel is within walking distance from the main railway termini which is ideal for the half hourly service to da vinci airport,although a taxi from the termini is recommended if arriving at night.Check in was easy,the lobby is very small so felt a little cramped when there was a few people around.The staff were very friendly and helpful when asked for directions to the main visitor sites.The beautiful opera house is opposite,also the main ancient roman sites are within walking distance ie coloseum,trevi fountain,pantheon,spanish steps,forum.The room was in need of a refurb but was a good size and very clean and tidy,the shower was over the bath but worked brilliant,the bed was big and very comfy.The air con worked great which is needed if you visit...

The tables are a nice distance apart and the service provided by the waiters and waitresses is great. During our stay at the hotel we made use of the other facilities available to all guests. There is a roman spa featuring and 12metre indoor swimming pool, with an 8 person Jacuzzi and poolside sauna. In addition to this there is also a small gym with a few weight machines and cardiovascular equipment. In the summer months guests can also make use of the outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, although these were both closed when we visited the hotel.

Advantages: Independently Owned & operated Good Quality
Disadvantages: Very Few

...Best Western Hotels are among the world’s largest hotel brands but is actually somewhat unusual. This international hotel chain is made-up of individually owned and operated hotels and inns around the globe. However, reputedly it is not easy to qualify for membership of Best Western – prospective members must meet some very exacting standards and each hotel in UK is independently inspected on an annual basis by the AA. Globally there are around 4,000 hotels in the group whilst there are several hundred in the UK. Some are bustling city centres hotels, others are nicely converted Elizabethan lodges and some are plush Georgian style country manor houses.
