I stayed in some of the very best hotels as those for them or budget minded, and I would say this was good value and quality.

6/10 Good

Lovely staff, but a disappointing stay
Unfortunately my stay here was not the greatest. The rooms are looking shabby, the bed is possibly the most uncomfortable I've slept on (with pretty much non-existent pillows), and the food was poor (cold soup and 'sourdough bruschetta' which turned out to be a toasted piece of packaged sliced bread with barely cooked pan fried peppers & onions). Disappointing. The staff were lovely though - which is why I'm ashamed to say I didn't bring up the problems at the time.

Lovely stay in a lovely hotel/pub
Lovely hotel/pub. Despite the rooms being above a pub you cannot hear any noise from the pub in the evening. All staff are very friendly.

Our Overnight stay at the Bear Hotel
From the time we arrived to the time of departure , the management and staff could not be more helpful. Very happy and accommodating throughout our stay. Food was 100% and vey filling as well! Would totally recommend to family and friends to stay there if in Esher at all. We would definitely go back again.
Tommy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not the best of experiences. Very odd check in ! Took an age to get into the car park (I ended up having to enter the property as no one was answering the gate phone or my attempts calling the property) no apologies made either. Room key only works after 3 attempts. Very small room which was ok but the bathroom very dated.
Aaron, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property was booked so we could watch the football live on the Sunday afternoon. However, the employee in the bar area could not be asked to put it on although we asked politely and kindly so we had to pay taxis to go to another town to watch the football. The property was also so busy with drinkers on the Saturday night that it was impossible to eat there and once again, we had to pay taxis to go and eat somewhere else! In the end we paid a lot of money for convenience and ended up having to spend more and being unable to use the facilities! Not great!

The Bear is my Hotel of choice when attending the Royal Artillery Gold Cup at Sandown Park. It is within walking distance of the race course, has above average amenities and copes with a large crowd of rather loud veteran servicemen post races with friendliness and humour. Millie, who was on duty on the day of arrival and on departure was exceptional. A charming, helpful and lovely young lady who made an old soldier very welcome.

WORST ROOM IVE EVER STAYED IN BY FAR!!! V V V LOUD
Lovely staff, lovely room but total utter disaster of a stay!!! I’ve travelled ALOT! This has to be the worst room EVER!!!! What seemed like right on top of a karaoke bar! I had earplugs but you could still feel the base thumping through the floor until midnight! I may aswell have gone down stairs & tried to sleep on the dance floor!!!
