The Falcon Hotel

Friendly staff

As a traditional style, family run hotel you get what you pay for. Positives : great friendly staff team, good breakfast, free parking, clean room, good heating, right by Farnborough airport, excellent value relative to other local options, places to eat in evening within a 2 minute walk. Less good: room was starting to look a bit battered both furniture and walls (and not quite the boutique hotel impression from the room photos), nowhere to plug in mobile near bed, very narrow bathroom, getting shower to correct temp required the same sense of balance as tightrope walking, breakfast room carpet needs ripping up asap and replace with hard flooring (NB: if running a bath don't put hot water in first, you cant reach the taps past the shower screen with being in the bath and the hot water is scalding temperature). Overall, ideal for a short business stay or as an overnight stop and would certainly revisit, you are getting great value for the price you are paying.

The staff were very accommodating when we arrived very late & were a little late for breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

The staff were very friendly, polite and efficient

The whole process was easy. The room was really beautifully decorated. The staff made sure everything was right and were always available at the desk. The breakfast was freshly cooked for us which was a nice change. You choose between full wnglish and continental. You need to leave the key at reception if you're going out and have to call a number if you come back after midnight. That wasn't a problem for us because we were in bed by 10.30am.

Nice hotel, clean and very friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Room was fine, but the TV was only able to tune into 2 channels. Overall the hotel could do with updating. But I'd stay there again

This hotel was a bit tired, the walk to our room up some stairs was a bit musty smelling, if it can’t be got rid of, it just needs a fresh smelling spray put about, a bit more welcoming, the room was a wow, when I first walked in as the bed looked amazing, but some of the light bulbs are missing & a couple of lamp covers as well, the wardrobe is very dark inside, as it is black & the light in front of it is inadequate, you can’t open the left hand door fully, as the main door hinge at the top is in the way, only one clothes hanger supplied, I would have preferred to know so I could bring my own, no hair dryer either, hadn’t realised before hand, on a good note the room & bathroom were clean, only bit of dirt was an awkward area on the shower sliding door, not too bad though, the whole place was lovely & warm & the breakfast was tasty & well presented, all staff interaction was friendly xx

Nothing

Ideal location if you want to go to the international centre as it’s around the corner, brilliant access for Sainsbury’s and the local pubs are brilliant food. The host Are very friendly and accommodating couldn’t fault them . Room was small but adequate for what we needed the only downside was the shower… As it was not a very powerful, we couldn’t figure it out so we just didn’t bother using it.

Pleasant overnight stay for sons passing out paradein pirbright

As the weather was warmish, I was glad there was an air conditioner in the room.

Did fail to meet the description of a superior room. Decor very dated, room curtains old and frayed, bathroom incredibly small.

Appealing internet. Staff found not courteous. Ask for room change owing to heavy luggage but was adamant as we had to carry up to second floor. Very dated layout. Staff need professional training both at the reception and restaurant. Will not be visiting this hotel ever…water pressure in shower is terrible..

All good

The room and the bathroom were spacious, comfortable and very clean. The bed was comfortable. Nice place to stay. Included in the price breakfast is a bonus. It has free parking on site which is handy too.

This hotel was OK in line with the money paid. Found it to be clean and tidy, with staff that were friendly, the bed was comfortable

All excellent and so good we booked an additional night! Best points: 1. Staff are lovely, helpful, accommodating. 2. Hotel, it’s nicely done and feels homely and very nicely decorated. Also everything looks very clean. 3. Nice view of the airplane / aviation museum opposite. 4. Quiet (with the windows closed) 5. A very important one, a fan is in the wardrobe which is an excellent idea. It saves you having to ask for one or simply not bothering. 6. Rooms are well laid out and logical, good use of space. 7. Comfortable bed! Only 2 minor negatives are the shower in the room, it does take a while to get hot water. As it was only the 1 night in that room it wasn’t too much of an issue. The other is tea, we both love our tea and I would say a different brand would be a very good idea. All in all an amazing stay made even better by the friendly staff / owners.

Room clean and tidy. Coffee facilities not on show but in the wardrobe. In a second floor room at the front so some road noise as to be expected when at the front of a road side hotel. Shower in bathroom low due to eaves, which was difficult being taller. Breakfast was good in a nicely decorated dining room.

Good air conditioner, but the room is a bit small with big furnitures...

This property is situated on a busy main road and under the flight path of Farnborough Airport. The aeroplane noise didn’t bother us much as we live next to an RAF base and it was only crossing the busy road that was a slight issue when visiting the only pub within walking distance. This pub we visited twice on our two night stay as the “Hotel” didn’t have a restaurant for lunchtime or evening meals. The only other ‘eatery’ was an Indian restaurant of which we aren’t that keen. The hotel itself is in need of severe updating and redecoration. The bed in our bedroom although comfortable enough had what looked like a counter pane under the bottom sheet acting as a mattress protector and not the usual white quilted variety used as standard practice. The carpet where the wastebin was situated had been stained with splatters of tea from used teabags. The windows and general cleanliness of the room was below what we would have expected. The staff were polite but I wouldn’t say welcoming! Our stay at this hotel was disappointing overall.
