Hotel is in a great location to Winchester town. Rooms are decorated beautifully but are stifling hot and our room lacked natural light. We put the air con on but the condensation was pouring from the machine.

Excellent spa hotel

The Winchester Hotel and Spa was a great value stay. I stayed one night for a birthday treat to be able to enjoy the spa. The spa facilities are excellent and included in your stay. The gym was surprisingly well kitted out, but the spa was the highlight. A lovely relaxation area, good amount of places to lounge, lovely heated pool, sauna, hottub, steam room and plunge shower. Excellently comfortable and clean and would be great as a spa day too. The rooms are a clean and comfortable. The restaurant for dinner or breakfast didn't really appeal. The hotel was easy enough to find and a short wander from the train station.

The hotel is in a quiet area and walking distance to town centre and eating places. Disappointed with a small room with no windows just a skylight, considering the hotel is not full. We paid extra for breakfast which is ok, but could do with a coffee machine as the coffee was tasteless and weak in a cheap metal jug - not in a 4 star hotel. The bartender was friendly and helpful.

Gets your step count up.

Close enough to city and rail station, spacious room and good ensuite, but a warren, takes two different lifts with a walk in between to reach third floor. Great sauna, but pool is very small. Terrible coffee.
