Bruno, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is in an amazing location. It had a lovely set up with attractive looking bar & lounge area. Breakfast was just right with good hot & cold choices. Room was lovely & comfortable with good views of the cathedral, only slight criticism was the bathroom was a bit tired, there’s lots of marks on the floor & the bath seemed heavily stained but it did still seem clean. All the staff we encountered were all friendly, approachable & professional. We would definitely stay here again.
Raymond, 1-night trip

Graham, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable beds, great walk into town, easy check-in if their car park is full, there is another over the road. We stayed for one night - easy for a quick stay for the weekend.
Georgia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed with the first room that we were allocated it was classed as a small double but could not even walk around the bed it was almost a single room The bar staff were overworked and the room was tired Considering the kind of hotel they rate themselves, I was disappointed to have to pay £5 to leave my luggage for a few hours after spending 2 nights The only good points about the hotel is it’s in a good position if you are a tourist, we will be visiting Winchester again but will not be visiting this hotel again
