Like this hotel having stayed before. The room was very comfortable and generally quiet although we did get an early wake up (before 06.00) due to refuse collection but it has to be done. The only points we were not particularly impressed with was that the bathroom bin had not been emptied before we arrived and contained used sanitary products. Also, for the price we would have expected the bed to be made and it wasn't.

The old Mercure is rebranding. It’s still the same tatty and hideous building but the staff are always friendly and helpful. I had a refurbished room overlooking the cathedral which was very quiet and pleasant. Rooms at the back are noisier.

Our room was on 3nd floor but opposite side to the Cathedral. Was wakened up with lorries unloading on our side of the building. Great pity. The showers required updating as difficult to control water temperature

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.
