Marwell Hotel

location re my course i was attending in Winchester , plus location and facilities

I forgot to pack my swimming costume and there wer none available to buy .

Room facilities and decor cleanliness, nice fresh bed linen. Great swimming pool and sauna. Friendliness of staff, not too formal. Good jungle themes.

jacuzzi too small and not effective. Breakfast hot food was covered with sealed lids which steamed the food too much rather than giving it a fried texture.

Very comfortable, clean, excellent food. Clearly management has very professional outlook and high stanards. Will return.

Staff all friendly.Breakfast was satisfactory. General theme would appeal to young families. Despite my complaints, it was adequate if you are looking for a basic hotel, although the price does not reflect this.

Yes! there was a distinct lack of attention to the cleanliness and general state of the rooms. My tap was broken, the plug did not open as it was encrusted with limescale and as a result the sink blocked each time the tap was run. The shower fitting appeared ingrained with dirt; I did not investigate too closely. I had 2 cups on my drinks tray, one of which was chipped and the other was dirty with a ring of drink at the bottom. My remote control for the TV was covered in dried chocolate. My son reported that the spoon in his room was dirty. There were no signs on the windows explaining that you could open then securely with the result I slept with all the windows shut and had to suffer the heat in the morning which was quite unbearable.

The hotel was an unusual design set in quiet countryside. The breakfast was very good with plenty to choose from.

Bathroom was a little dated

Very clean and quiet room in lovely surroundingd

Friendly staff, superb and different surroundings and a refreshing alternative to the normal hotel

Tea making facilities not replenished after first nigh

I particularly enjoyed the feeling of being in the middle of the woods and the wonderful walks around the hotel.

I didn't enjoy the piped music.

The setting, the style & the efficiency

Felt very open with lots of space in the room and in all the public areas

The hotel had a very relaxed atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excerlent. The room was big, bright and clean.

It was close to the zoo and had an African feel to the place. My children enjoyed their stay as it was close to the zoo. We were able to purchase subsidised tickets to the zoo.

The Pool being behind the reception desk ? Seemed a strange arrangement. The exercise machines being in full view of the pool ?. I would of liked to exercise in a separate room alongside the pool. There was only a small room to run in. However, the sauna was well located.
