This was my third time at the Baar and each time has been better than the last. On arrival the receptionist recognised me and remembered I had family in the area asking how I and they were which I thought was lovely. The rooms are clean as usual and the whole place looks do much better especially the lounge area... More

Visited Bear Hotel in Havant on recommendation of a friend. Lovely comfortable room, nice and quiet - we were situated at the side of the hotel. Staff were all very welcoming and friendly, particularly Ryan. He is a real asset to the place. Great breakfast in the morning - a wide range and all delicious and fresh. Importantly, this hotel...

What struck me most was the size of the room. For the price, it's huge! There are windows from floor to ceiling with trees outside, which makes it even more airy. The curtains don't block the light though, which is a serious downer in the morning. We didn't sleep well anyway, which was our own fault: we didn't realise the... More

Just returned from a stay at The Bear and have to say I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews on here. But upon arrival we were warmly greeted and nothing was to much trouble for the staff. We had a lovely family room which was clean and well presented. It was especially nice that the window... More

Booked The Bear at the last minute due to price and location and found the experience a real mixed bag. In the interests of fairness and balance, I'll do both pros and cons: Pros - Service, specifically from one member of staff (Ryan). From calling to get directions to the car park, to arrival and throughout the stay, he was... More

Hi my wife and me spent 2 nights at the bear at the end of May, yes the decor is a bit tired but the room was clean, the breakfast had a good choice. The staff were very attentive. The lounge area could do with a bit of attention; pictures, television, it would not cost too much but would make... More

The outside of this hotel did not do it justice a bit tired looking but once inside all was good. Good sized rooms, nice and clean a comfortable bed lovely soft towels and plenty of them. The staff were all friendly and helpful. An excellent menu and the food was really well cooked. Just one small thing ,our bedroom got... More

A very tired hotel, where the staff seem lacking in customer service skills. I was at breakfast 5 minutes before it officially opened (6.55 ) they wouldn't serve me anything at all and were more concerned with putting butter on the empty tables, even though I asked for coffee and toast. I had to leave due to an early morning... More

Booked room with 'booking.com' for 15/05/2013 on arrival was given keys to room 47, in general the room and furnishings were all good with a large flat screen tv but sadly when we went to shower the mechanism simply would not work. We complained to reception the following mornig and we were told that some rooms had showers that didn't... More
