The Winchester Hotel is arguably one of the nicer hotels in the former capital village. It's just a…read moreshort walk from the Winchester train station and about a 10 min walk to Jewry Street which has plenty of restaurants and bars. There is free parking if you elect to drive, though the massive parking lot in front of the hotel does not make for the most dramatic of entrances. While it's an older property, the lobby looks recently renovated and surprisingly modern. Room was clean and bath/bed would as you expect from a 3* property. The complex has a nice indoor pool and sauna which I did not expect to find in Winchester. Free fast wifi was a great perk. Overall this was good value and should be on your short list for a clean safe and recently renovated hotel.

I went to this hotel before it's refurb a few years ago, and was cheap and cheerful. So on…read morereturning, it has raised itself to 4 stars. It certainly looks much sleeker. Very clean room, really nice. The main meals were good but it was really let down by the cooked breakfast items. Watery pale scrambled egg, and the usual sausages, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans. Had a bit of everything first morning, felt a bit horrible. Next day had toast beans and hash browns only, the best bits. Also a small continental type breakfast (meats and cheeses) which were nice. But just one type of egg and poorly done wasn't what I expected from a four star. Food has to follow in the upgrade! Ooh almost forgot, did have a room service burger, that was very very nice.

I've stayed in a few hotel du vin hotels before and due to staying at this hotel as a stop off…read morebefore going to the ferry port at Poole for jersey I booked a standard double room. We had arrived very late at night after driving for 5 hours nonstop and we found off street parking as we knew we would be leaving early in the morning for the ferry. The staff was very friendly and directed us to our room with helpful information about what restaurants close by that was still open that they could recommend . The standard double room has a queen size bed , a flat screen tv with a ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with a monsoon shower head inside. It is very high end price for a standard room but location was key for us! I would stay here again if travelling to Poole ferry port.

Not all the waiters were at the same level of professionalism. One lad thumped plates on the table with a distinct lack of care. It has a lovely dining room with an enchanting looking garden outside. Only downside - two lots of overcharging on the bill which took two goes to sort out. Recommended.

On August 31st, my family and I were on a tour with a wonderful guide (Jill Pretorius of Windsor…read moreDay Tours)... We had already walked all over Winchester, we were on our way to Stonehenge, we were excited and hungry, but also jet lagged and exhausted! Jill brought us to The White Lion joking that, being only 400 years old, it was practically a brand new pub! We came in (mind your head), and were immediately sat down at a big, groaning, family table! Water was served, beers and ciders followed, and then meat pies and fish and chips were ordered all around! This meal was absolutely delicious in the way that only homemade country pub food can be. The cider selection was excellent, and we left refreshed, happy, and ready to take on the rest of our day (mind you, we ALL passed out cold in the van after Stonehenge and on the way back to our hotel)! Thank you so much to the ladies of The White Lion Inn & Pub for your extremely warm hospitality!! Much love! I hope to make it back one day!

Premier Inn is a pretty basic hotel chain. Don't expect five star service here, but as far as three…read morestar hotels go, this place is ok. The location of the hotel is pretty convenient- in the Leisure Park area of town. Abundant free parking, and a shuttle bus to the railway station just behind the hotel (with a day pas only £2.30). Pretty close to the M3 and fairly easy to get to. As far as accommodations, the rooms are newly renovated with wall mount flat screen televisions, neutral colors, and several USB plugs per room. The bathroom was a bit on the tiny side, and the shower didn't drain properly even after we had alerted maintenance. Despite the fact that this hotel chain seems to pride themselves on comfortable beds, the twin bed in my room was anything but- I could almost feel the springs coming through the sheets, it was a fairly rough night. The full size bed in the room seemed to be better however- though neither had really good pillows. There is a Beefeater pub right next door that serves typical fare- as well as breakfast for hotel guests. Prepare for the hotel staff to try to sell you a meal package upon checkin- for me it wasn't worth it as I don't eat breakfast.
