Gorgeous front of house Magdelaina was perfect. What a skill she had of interacting with customers on a real personal level. Knowing how to converse with different clientele at different occasions is a unique personality trait which so many do not have. First class. Thank you.

Really dated hotel.
The hotel overall is really dated. The TV in my first room didn't work and so I had to walk all the back to reception just to move 2 doors away. In the new room the hot water tap in the bathroom wasn't fixed to anything so when you tried to turn it on, it just twisted and twisted. The room was very hot with no air con, and so I had to get a fan to try and cool things down. There was a shower over a bath, which makes no sense unless your one of the weird ones who like taking baths in hotels. Think I'd rather stay in the travelodge next door.

Location is very central, hotel lobby is fine, room was nice and tidy but a little tired, bathroom needs updating however it did have a de-misting mirror. No air-con but it did have a good fan and the windows can be opened as well which I prefer anyway. Door lock for our room happened to be dodgy and needed fixing (didn’t unlock and yes it was our room), the night time staff (a lovely gentleman at the reception) was super helpful. The view outside the window was on the street side this time and some building work was happening opposite the hotel. The bed was comfortable so we had a good night sleep despite someone singing their heart out and some loud bin noises happened briefly which both are uncontrollable circumstances by the hotel. Overall I would stay there again if I found a cheaper rate for street side room or if it was facing the cathedral side.

The Wessex in a prime location but needs updating.
We booked for location to meet up with friends. We have stayed before but over the last 30 years nothing seems to have been upgraded. Furniture was very dated and bed not very comfortable. We even got upgraded to an executive room but with the mass of trees outside the room was dark and no view. Having said that we were only there for 1 night and it suited our purpose. The receptionist was very cheerful and made us feel welcome. The Wessex could do with a total upgrade in my opinion though!

An ok Hotel that needs improvement in all areas.
Reception very welcomed, bed and pillow very good, noisy hot room, bin men, builders, buskers for the morning wake up call, breakfast sharing with the staff not a complaint but never done this before but it would be nice if the supervisor took their argument with a member of staff outside the breakfast area, poor coffee tea, it was the water taste, overheated food.

Very stuffy airless room. Black slime in fridge. Terrible bathroom. Horrible mattress. A very poor staff interaction when someone walked into my room without knocking, telling me I should have been "Out by 12" (not true btw) I've seen this hotel described as "Tired" there are large areas where carpet is held together with gaffer tape. "Tired" is generous. Great view.
