Janet, United Kingdom

Accommodation - clean, everything worked, etc. It was no problem to arrive after midnight. Excellent central location.

Charming hotel in a lovely, convenient spot. Nice staff. Great breakfast. Loved it.

Lee, United Kingdom

We were upgraded, so we were very happy! The bed was extremely large and very comfortable. Being so close to the town centre was also great.

Jane, United Kingdom

Room 177 was satisfactory with comfy bed, telly, coffee & tea making facilities and a extra large walk in shower room and disabled facilities only thing was no heating in bathroom which cos of the size was a rush in and rush out job. must mention the staff who were all superb, Reception was easy to book in and out, breakfast was as you would expect buffet style. Only one criticism £10 per night parking for guests na suerly not.

Daiofelli, United Kingdom

Good location with walking distance of the central train station; and 2 blocks from city centre. Easy to walk to Winchester Cathederal, museums, many local restaurants, and the oldest pub in England. Nice garden with tables for Spring - Autumn. Unfortunately we only stayed 1 night; but we will return.

Brian, United Kingdom

Very good location and spacious room. Nice courtyard and restaurant (although we did not eat there).

“Nice hotel.”

- • Stayed 1 night

No drawers and little storage to keep clothes and bits. Bathroom floor a little grubby behind door. I think it’s totally unreasonable visitors have to pay £10 for parking at the hotel, given the rooms are almost £100 per night without breakfast.
The staff were all exceptional. Absolute credit to the hotel. Always approached with warmth and friendliness. The rooms were nicely furnished for most of a visitors needs.

We had a bizarre exchange with one of the waitresses, I believe she was new and had an odd attitude, however front desk staff and manager were quite pleasant to deal with.
Breakfast was quite adequate and they were very accomodating as we were a large party that fully utilised the breakfast areas! Feature double was big and our room was quiet.

“Not going back”
- • Leisure trip

- • Standard Double or Twin Room

As we had booked the room several weeks in advance we were surprised to discover we had been given a room designed for disabled customers, on enquiry we were told the hotel was fully booked and no other room was available. When I used the shower it flooded a substantial part of bathroom the room, with the shower curtain covering only part way round the rail. At 9:30 on Sunday evening the hot water was cold, when my partner filled a kettle to provide hot water it was discovered that no facility was provided to plug the sink, very difficult to was your face! The last straw was the bed, it had individual mattress protector sheets for each side of the large bed, each one floated unattached, every time one turned in the bed it wrinkled into lumps under the fitted bed sheet. A very uncomfortable nights sleep. The only compensation offered by the hotel was to waive the parking fee.
The actual hotel was good, the staff were efficient and courteous. The food was excellent although we only had breakfast and bar food. The garden area well kept and the hotel had a comfortable lounge area.

Hot stuffy room. Sash window did not stay open to allow fresh air. Cost of a room for two very expensive for what it was. Breakfast poor. Some fresh fruit ie melon and apple, but also tinned mandarin oranges and grapefruit ugh! Cooked breakfast poor with glutinous fried egg and over cooked rubbery bacon which was inedible. Coffee undrinkable as so strongly brewed. Likewise stewed tea.
Lovely historic property. Staff smiled a lot and very helpful.

Parking situation terrible. Limited parking at hotel - always full throughout our entire stay plus you are charged £10 per night for the privilege. The only alternative are fee paying car parks. The plus side is there are a number of them within a short walk - the downside is payment commences from 8am so you have to be organised to ensure your car is fully covered for the time you are parked. Free from 6pm though.
Friendly staff with local knowledge.

Not many staff around. Staff not too sure whether payment taken. We would’ve gone without paying for Afternoon Tea had I not mentioned it to Reception. I don’t think we ended up paying for parking either. Staff didn’t seem sure about payment which is a bit worrying for a 5 Star hotel!
