The fact that they don’t have A/C made our stay really uncomfortable. The A/C was broken and we didn’t sleep at all. The beds and bedding was the quality of a cheap motel. If you’re booking for the summer, do your self a favour and stay somewhere else.
Location was perfect and view from the rooms directly onto the cathedral grounds was great.

The carpet was worn away so all that was showing was warp and weft, no wool was left in the main walk ways in the room, where the furniture was it had a lovely pattern.
Staff were extra helpful and friendly. My partner arrived after me, they got him a key sorted etc as I was out on a double marathon. When I arrived back in the early hours of the morning the lady on reception had to redo my key card, she was so cheerful despite the hour.

We paid for a double room and were disappointed to find that the bed was against two walls and could only be got in from one side or from the bottom! It was also very small.
Plenty of choice at breakfast. The staff showed little interest in serving only clearing the table as soon as they thought we were finished

“Comfortable hotel in a great location in a great little city - we fell in love with Winchester.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Privelege Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Drinks in the bar horribly expensive. I did feel that for the price paid at least a continental breakfast could have been included. It was extra for car parking and breakfast on top of £606 for 2 'room only nights' single people . I did try to book an on line offer for inclusive dinner and breakfast but a problem occurred. When I 'phoned the help line the chap wasn't able access the offer for us. Not the hotels fault of course but I did feel a little aggrieved and ate breakfast elsewhere.
The location was fantastic and the view of the cathedral a nice surprise. A very comfortable hotel/room.

I only knew the car park charge was £12 because friends let me know before I got there. I parked for free in the council car park opposite. I think it could have been made clear at the time of booking. Very expensive.
My room was air conditioned and had a coffee machine.

25 minute wait to check in as only one member of staff on a busy Friday evening. Bit grubby and shabby in places. Only 1 pillow each, scratchy towels, leaking shower, very noisy. £15 per night to park in car park and other close by car parks were all full.
Nicely decorated room, comfy bed, lovely breakfast. Staff trying their best under pressure.
