The hotel was nice and clean. Some of the features within the room could do with updating. The TV was connected to the WiFi which is a nice touch, as most hotels have this feature disabled. Parking was limited, meaning we had to find some elsewhere.

Loved Winchester. What a pretty town. Hotel well located and the staff were fairly pleasant, but that’s where it ends. We were allocated a tiny room, poor quality duvet, boiling hot - even with the radiator off, fan on and window open. 3* bathroom. Odd hotel. Given the price, we definitely wouldn’t return.

If you are looking for an elegant, historic, clean yet simple stay then this is the hotel for you in Winchester. The old building is beautiful inside and out. The staff are very friendly and also very helpful. This was the first time we were travelling with our 4 month old baby and the staff were very accommodating (all staff were but the name Lynn is the one I remember) and helped us store our pram safely without havingto carry it up the stairs several times per day. Great hotel all round, well done and will 100% stay again.
