Overall, the stay was nearly perfect - great price, convenient location, a spacious room, and very quiet. The only drawback was a slightly stale smell and worn carpets, along with a few other outdated features.

Room very noisy at night! There was a consistent humming noise in room which got worse then went away then started up again got worse then went away! Not sure if it was outside or in hotel. Alley way a night that the room over looked had people shouting and being noisy! Badly fitted duet quilt that in the end i took off bed and just had duet cover over us!,but couldn't believe the disgusting quilt underneath the cover! Looked as though it had been out on the street! Very discoloured and large stains! which we have photos of!

Hotel is in an amazing location. It had a lovely set up with attractive looking bar & lounge area. Breakfast was just right with good hot & cold choices. Room was lovely & comfortable with good views of the cathedral, only slight criticism was the bathroom was a bit tired, there’s lots of marks on the floor & the bath seemed heavily stained but it did still seem clean. All the staff we encountered were all friendly, approachable & professional. We would definitely stay here again.

Room was a little dusty, new lick of paint was noticeable. Mostly the hotel and rooms are quite outdated. Can see scuffs and marks everywhere. Good pillows, tiny double bed. Location is excellent. Parking for a night is £15.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disappointed with the first room that we were allocated it was classed as a small double but could not even walk around the bed it was almost a single room The bar staff were overworked and the room was tired Considering the kind of hotel they rate themselves, I was disappointed to have to pay £5 to leave my luggage for a few hours after spending 2 nights The only good points about the hotel is it’s in a good position if you are a tourist, we will be visiting Winchester again but will not be visiting this hotel again

The room was large and comfortable with great views of the cathedral. The parking area was small but we managed to get a space. The bathroom could have done with a deep clean and the cooked breakfast was limited for a vegetarian. Overall I would stay again.
