A really comfortable stay. Nice decor, themed around the River Test, with historical touches in a modern, clean setting. Loads of very easy (free) parking. About 10 minutes walk into the centre of Romsey. The hotel is just off a fairly busy road, but with double/triple glazing it isn't too bad, and they provide complementary earplugs should you need. Comfy beds, nice staff and excellent breakfast. Highly recommended

Overall we really like a stay at the Cromwell but few issues this time. Most important no hot water for shower two days running, told waitress, don’t believe we were alone in this issue. Breakfast service excellent, but food a little dry .

Really clean hotel both in the room and the bar and restaurant. Friendly staff particularly Katherine andGeorge on the first night and the lady who looked after us at breakfast. Only downside was the fish on the first night and chicken wings on the second night were a bit ovetcooked.
