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.

This might just be the most amazing wee city in all the United Kingdom. It's beyond good. Let me start by saying that such a phenomenal place is no doubt, home to an incredible hotel. I came here to see one of my English mates marry his college sweetheart. Think of The Peaky Blinders in this anachronistic setting. Their wedding was a folkloral dream. The room was comfortable, clean, and luxurious. I enjoyed the British tele. Special marks for the location and easy access to a local farmer's market on the high street. If you decide to visit London, jump on a train and experience the country and Winchester. Experience this royal hotel!

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.

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.

This property has a great location near bus and train station and central city. The massages we…read morereceived on-site were fantastic, as were the pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub. The restaurant was very good, with lovely patio seating. We used the hotel as a jumping off poing for two days stay in Winchester after a two-week Baltic cruise. The only problem we had was that we asked for a taxi to be booked for a 5am departure to the train station, to get to an airport bus to take a flight to New York. The booking was not made and the morning manager had to scramble to try and get a cab to come. We caught our train with only one minute to spare. It was very stressful. We had numerous issues with the taxi drivers in the town actually, and sadly, would not return to Winchester because of this issue within the town itself.

There's no TravelLodge emptiness, the house is lived in and full of lots of interesting books and antiques, and if you are looking for a hotel style (clean, white, pristine, nondescript) this is not the place for you. John is a wonderful host, very easy to talk to, and if you have any problems whatsoever he does whatever he can to help. This is not just a business for John, this is something he enjoys doing, and that really shows. As someone coming to Winchester alone for the first time, not knowing anyone, his charming, chatty and knowledgeable nature was a huge bonus. I would DEFINITELY stay here again but I reiterate, this is a homey lived-in B&B, not a pristine but nondescript room. There are two cats, who are very friendly and have free roam, and a shared bathroom, which surprisingly was absolutely no problem in practice. IF there's any problems, I had none myself, John will certainly go out of his way to rectify them. Lovely little Bed and Breakfast, a home and host with a lot of charm and character!

Some of the details which although quaint and they harken back to simpler times, were a trifle annoying, such as the sink in the room, which had two faucets, one for hot and one for cold. People under 40 perhaps haven't seen that before. The key to the room was absolutely gigantic and the lock was so close to the door jam that you found yourself twisting your hand and fingers into unnatural positions. I figure you take little things like that in stride because you're staying here for the ambience, not to have everything perfectly modern. They DO have wifi, so there you go. The room was a good size, plenty large enough. A small tea and coffeemaker was there. Service is great and cheerful. Staff were helpful. There are two places to have a beverage and there is a nice little outdoor courtyard, which we took advantage of because the weather was above average for Winchester! The bartender is quite knowledgeable and talented and makes a very good cocktail.
