The WC would not flush on check-in to the room advised front desk, was offered and declined a room swap. WC was not fixed the next day. Advised front desk who declined to own the problem as they weren't staff the previous day. WC half fixed, would short flush but not long for solids. Front desk advised again, problem corrected by evening. WC was flushed 3 of the 5 days utilizing the waste bin filled from the shower. Noisy room from downstairs party Friday and Saturday nights, to be fair it cutoff promptly at 2300, however, staff could advise guests on check-in and allow room reassignment at the guest's discretion. Noisy room from next room neighbors due to vigorous activity for most of Friday night, followed by late night TV and 0600 TV each of the following mornings. With the hotel not booked out, room assignments should preferentially leave a room between guests especially if it is known that the walls aid noise transmission. Room was serviced with clean towels and linens each day, and the bathroom cleaned, however, the room was not vacuumed at any point during our 5 day stay. Other than the party and guest noise, the location is extremely peaceful, and we were able to have the windows open to enjoy the lovely fall air and the sound of the rain while sleeping. The cost was a good value. If you're the late partyer, the early riser, or the type that will sleep through the last trumpet call for the dead, book confidently! Otherwise, book with care.

Would have been nice to know that parking was at the back of hotel before hand. I know it’s an old building, but didn’t expect the curtains to blow as was rather windy outside. Looked like secondary glazing had been taken out. Actual wood work on windows was extremely dirty. Must say bathroom was spotless & bed was comfy.

Windows are only single-glazed, so even when it was shut it still felt like it was open. I could hear music from the bar clearly and plenty of conversations outside, making it hard to sleep. A very confusing layout to the building, with the keys not being numbered very well.

Needs updating

The reception myself and my dog received from Ryan was warm and welcoming. This hotel desperately needs renovating. The bedroom furniture in the room allocated to me is antiquated, ie. dark, big and bulky and the carpet is thin and without underlay. When using the cold tap in the ensuite it groaned and the plumbing made a very loud vibrating noise when used.

The Bear Hotel is a tragic missed opportunity. This is an important historic property in the older part of the town centre but it is in serious need of investment to drag it up to the standards expected in the 21st Century. The big brand hotels in Havant are always busy and the Bear has been left behind. Greene King don't appear to be a serious hotel operator. Occupancies and room charges would swiftly return an investment in the rooms and facilities. and would knock on to significantly increased restaurant and bar sales. The Bear would see a substantial functions and weddings business come back after having abandoned the property in recent years. There doesn't appear to be any commitment from Greene King to the most basic of hospitality standards. The to do list is long. This could be a great hotel (again), with a solid customer appeal, and contented management and staff running a hotel that they are proud of. I think customers select this hotel almost as a last choice. The online presentation is not bad, the prices are reasonable and the food is good. I wonder what the data on return stays looks like currently! All this can change and we could see customers queueing up to book to stay here within a short period of time.

This hotel is beyond the point of being acceptable

The hotel is in desperate need of a full refurbishment which is likely to be substantial The staff are making the best of the situation but the hotel is beyond the point where rooms can legitimately sell to the public. Specifically, the room was dirty. The shower was virtually impossible to switch on and when it came on, it was simply a gush of water. Worst of all, the mattress had collapsed making sleeping a distant dream. One side was ~inches lower than the other meaning one was constantly rolling out the bed. This was acknowledged by the lady on reception as soon i mentioned there was a problem with the room "ah yes, the mattress...." As they had taken my payment upon booking, i had zero leverage. I will take up with Greene king
