We stayed for 3 nights. Excellent staff and very comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast. The location is perfect, the view from our room was Winchester Cathedral. Parking is reasonably priced at the hotel but you need to get there early as the car park is not very large Definitely would stay again.

The hotel staff were wonderful. They simply couldn’t do enough for their guests. They allowed us to have an early check-in. They supplied us with extra bits and were most helpful when we had a spillage. I cannot praise then enough.

The service by the staff was impecible, the view was incredible out of our window and it's totally central so you can pop in and out and feel part of the city. It has an old fashioned charm whilst being neat, friendly and efficient. Well worth it.

The room was fine with a nice view of the Cathedral but showed considerable signs of wear and tear. The bathroom had a cracked basin, a toilet that wouldn't flush properly and a bath that hadn't been cleaned. We advised reception about the bath when we arrived, they promised to sort it the next day, but it was still dirty 2 days later when we left. Breakfast was fine (but definitely not free) and we enjoyed the location in the centre of Winchester.
