Very Good

Nice quiet spacious clean room (carpet a bit frayed in places) - just what we needed for a business stay. Good location in quiet street but handy for the town centre.

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.
This property served our needs for our one night stay in Winchester. We had wished we had booked two nights by the end of our first day in Winchester. We are glad we stayed here and would recommend.
Loved this little hotel which was walking distance from a lot of food and shopping as well as the cathedral and other sites. Beautiful garden, nice bar, and delicious breakfast.
