Pleasant stay but could do better

Pleasant stay for one night. The staff are friendly and helpful although some staff at breakfast could do with a little more training as finding corn flakes seemed a challenge and we were told there were none but another member of staff found them without too much trouble. The classic room was all we needed for a single night but we did have to remake the bed before getting in it because it looked like the bed linen had been thrown on as it was all disheveled and crumpled. I would guess this is a result of time pressure on housekeeping staff but not what we would expect to have to do. Food in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. Would stay again if in Winchester.

This was my second stay in Winchester, the first was at a newer more modern hotel but I also had family staying in another hotel close to the City Center and like most buildings there, the hotel was a much older building. Being a quite historic town that is to be expected and this hotel was no different however there has been a lot of updates and all amenities seem up to modern standard. The spa seems really nice but was fully booked so I only made it as far as the front desk. On arrival I was about an hour early and my room wasn’t ready which I have no issues with, standard hotel policy of 3pm check-in and I arrived at 2 so I decided to wait in my car. I was then told by a police office I couldn’t park there without paying for parking at the ticket booth. Mind you this lot is in the hotel grounds a mere 30 feet from the front door. I later learned that there was a smaller parking on the side of the hotel for guests which you will still be charged for :( The hotel staff were mostly pleasant with some being more welcoming than others but overall the stay was a 6/10

Convenient and good price

We booked a last minute night away and hotel was convenient/well priced. We did have some issues with the air conditioning in the night but otherwise the hotel was comfortable.

Average hotel - Could be improved

The hotel is good, but again the whole trip was ruined as room 006 has a very strange smell. It comes from toilet and has no ventilation. It was only for one night otherwise would have never stayed in the room. It was a strange weird smell which bugged us all night. A lot of insects too. Other than that, spa is average but could be improved specially the pool area. There was a power cut for us which they came to fix it but had no electricity for good one hour.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, with one exception on the first night, Monday 12th, when the man, unable to read any badge on him but he always wore a white jacket, first of all failed to book us in for dinner, then failed to bring the water or the wine to the table. After a near 20 minute wait we asked another waiter, Nick, who apologised and immediately brought the wine to the table. What a contrast between Nick and the arrogant guy who was next to useless. The lamb steak was lovely but my steak was overcooked and cold. Nick refunded us the cost of the steak as a compensation. The second meal we had on Wednesday 14th, was perfectly served and we were very well looked after by different staff. The room was lovely but we experienced a blocked sink was not resolved while we were there. The room itself was well appointed with an excellent shower and a nice outlook. We did not use the spa.

This hotel is in a good location. It's a short walk from the train station and about a 15 minute walk to the high street. The room was a good size. The only issue I had was the aircon was very noisy and sounded like it was breaking, so I turned it off when I went to bed. Dinner at the Alfred's was very good, as were the breakfast options. The blonde woman at the front desk was also very friendly and professional. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Wonderful weekend break.

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.

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

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.
