We had a most enjoyable two night stay in a twin/double garden view room. Having read warnings about limited parking for guests, we arrived shortly after 11am and secured a parking space. The receptionist helpfully volunteered to contact us once our room was ready, allowing us to check in more than two hours earlier than the stated time. Our room was at the furthest end of the modern extension to the rear of the hotel. This meant following a long corridor and negotiating several fire doors, but we were rewarded with an extremely quiet room with no disturbance from footfall outside. The room exceeded our expectations in being spacious, pleasantly decorated, and well equipped. Whilst it was far from being newly refurbished, there were no maintenance issues and housekeeping was of a good standard. Similarly, our bathroom was of adequate size and clean, and everything worked. Crucially, the room provided our two essentials for a good stay – a comfortable bed and a good shower. We made use of the hotel’s comfortable and roomy lounge, but not the adjacent bar. Neither did we use the restaurant, preferring to sample some of Winchester’s restaurants, cafes, and bars, all within a few minutes walk. All in all, an excellent city break!

The hotel is conveniently located just steps away from the high street. It has a beautiful garden and the breakfast buffet is delicious. The staff are nice and helped us carry our luggage to our room as well.

Tukki at the front desk was extremely helpful. She upgraded us to a suite because it was the only room available when we arrived early. Appreciated. We appreciate the buildings in Winchester are very old but we think overall maintenance of rooms could be better. Coffee stains on the carpet, a little touch up paint and minor repair on walls in the bathroom could go a long way.

Great location for central Winchester. The parking situation is awful, we stayed 6 nights, and were in and out whilst staying and spent what seemed like ages driving around the one way system going from one car park to another trying to find space (each time you tried either the top or bottom car park it was another loop around the whole of the city centre!) It would be helpful if residents could secure a given space for the duration of the stay. The hotel is comfortable (note there is no lift in the old building, so the top floor was up multiple stairs). The staff were not the friendliest (staying over Christmas and not a single Happy Christmas!) We would stay again, so nothing stated here outweighs the convenience of the location.

Comfortable, excellent value hotel in the centre of town... One small niggle the radiator in our room clanked every half hour or so, which disturbed our sleep somewhat.

Great Overnight Experience

We had a good experience here, the hotel id ideally placed for the city centre, just managed to get the last parking space, although £15 for residents seems a bit steep. Staff were pleasant and helpful and the room was very quiet and comfortable.

Distinctly Average

Receptionist walked off to take a personal phone call halfway through checkin. We’d booked a superior double but were given a garden view room. They corrected the room but claimed it to be Hotels.com’s error. The room, in the end, was ok. Old and in need of redecoration. The bed was large and comfortable. Breakfast was decent, plenty of choice. Parking is extra even for guests.
