Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I chose the hotel because of its superb location, in-between the cathedral and the High Street. It was an added bonus to discover that it's a lovely hotel in other ways. I would particularly mention the (predominantly young) staff, who were super-helpful and friendly. Some reviews suggested the decor was a bit tired, and in a few places perhaps a bit of redecoration would not come amiss, but overall I loved the interior, full of interesting and welcoming spaces (and including some striking Modernist stained glass in the foyer). Breakfast and dinner were excellent. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Winchester.

Was really happy with our stay and would definitely stay there again. Breakfast was perfect . Only gripe if anything we had a constant buzz/vibration sound in our room which I mentioned to reception. And the sealant around the bath could do with some attention. But overall really good.

The staff were excellent. The building could do with a good brightening up. My heating didn't work and I had a cold shower in the morning. I loved looking out and seeing the Cathedral all lite up.
