Room was a good size and comfortable but a lot of meandering from reception to get there - very cheeky to have to pay for parking £4.80 per day! Breakfast good - dinner average - tasteless chips! V. Noisy bar next to restaurant. Good location near to eateries/attractions etc

I stay here frequently and always something wrong with the room, this time the air conditioning didn’t work and they gave me a fan - it was really hot. Last time I had a room with a broken blind, they had given me that room the week before so I asked to change second time around

Hotel is in a great location to Winchester town. Rooms are decorated beautifully but are stifling hot and our room lacked natural light. We put the air con on but the condensation was pouring from the machine.

Excellent hotel and spa. Easy walking distance into city centre and historic areas. Only fault was the a/c was broken and we didn’t notice until 11pm - we rang the front desk but no one answered, hoping to get a fan. We had trouble sleeping as the room was very hot. Suggest managers check the a/c is working in all the rooms.
