Relaxing long weekend.
This is our second stay at the Marwell Hotel Winchester. Even with a wedding in the main building, there was no noise in the rooms - superb planning :-) a 10 minute drive into Winchester, plenty of parking without any issues, a lovely pool for a morning swim. Friendly helpful staff.

Great vibe just need to sort some minor admin issu
This 3 Star hotel is lovely, surrounded by nature and a vibe to peace and relaxation. I stayed for one night due emergency but was 90 percent satisfied. Only thing I dislike is that they check in time is extremely late and check out extremely early . Management need to consider as customer pay for a full day but they miss out on 4 hours ! Standard check in time should be 1 maximum 2! And check out should be 12! The swimming pool was not working the day I arrive which was the reason I book it but never less it was an ok accommodation with lovely views

Cleanliness was well below par, the decor and furniture were dated and showing signs of plenty of previous use.
Disappointed that it had not been maintained as it ought to have been.

Menu choices not great.
Shabby , needs updating. Mattress lumpy , bed not made properly
This was supposed to be an executive suite but didn’t feel like it.
Tiny bathroom.
On the plus side the large bed and Balcony were a great for us and staff were very friendly.

The hotel was a plantation style building on stilts built next to a zoo. We were wakened by beautiful exotic bird song ( not lions roaring as we expected). Food and accomodation was well presented and staff friendly. Overall a very unusual hotel tucked away in the Hampshire countryside.

Not again
The hotel looks rundown and out dated. the room was very dusty, the shower barely worked, the room was uncomfortably hot despite turning the radiator off, the bed was 2 beds pushed together with the most uncomfortable mattress on it.
When it comes to the breakfast that was a buffet style set up but on some old fashioned portable serving dishes being kept warm with camping style gas stoves which made the food rubbery. They were serving coffee in a portable flask.
