A lovely hotel right in the town easy walk into the centre for the museum, cathedral and Christmas market. Food was nice but a bit expensive. Car parking was a nightmare. We arrived at the car park for the hotel and it was full. We waited an hour and I went to reception to say we can’t get parked and I was told that if we had waited over 20 minutes we were going to get a parking ticket. We were then told there was an overflow car park which we were lucky to get parked in as I needed a disabled bay. Luckily we didn’t use the car whilst staying at the hotel so we didn’t have the same parking issue. Once we got to our room there was a qr code to scan for extra information. There was a map where the overflow car park was. I asked reception why wasn’t the car park info e mailed to you before arrival and was told it does if you booked direct. Surely all guests should receive this info before arriving. Four other cars had the same problem and waited for a long time to get parked.

Nice hotel,convenient for town centre, room was nice overlooking garden - except there appears to be a fan/machinery unit ? above room which makes annoying humming noise in evening/early morning (didn't notice during night). Requested wake up call (0600hrs) as had early morning hospital appointment - sadly did not receive call but fortunately managed arrive in time.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was in poor condition and I had to ask that someone cleaned the shower and toilet as it looked as if it had not been done for some time. When I asked if we could change rooms I was informed that the room was one assigned to a guest booking through Expedia. This was not the first time I have come across this and will no longer book through Expedia as they seem to be allocated inferior rooms.

Excellent location. Room was basic. Short spans of stairs from entrance and to rooms was a bit difficult as we were traveling with large luggage. Lovely garden area.

Great hotel and great staff.

Weather was good on our first day and we got use of the garden area for drinks and snacks. The room was very comfortable and clean and the service was great. We had booked the Wednesday night and then decided to book additionally night on the Tuesday so we could see around Winchester and we are glad we did. The hotel reception managed to leave us in the same garden vie room rather than moving to the Feature double room. Although this room was bigger and more facilities within the room we were happy to stay within the room we were in. So the staff were very accommodating and very helpful. Would recommend this hotel for its staff and its location. John McLelland
