The room was described as being "soundproof", which is why we chose to stay. Ironically,this is the noisiest hotel we've ever stayed in. Every sound from the corridor and neighbouring rooms can be heard. The room was ok otherwise, and the bed was comfortable.

I had booked an early check in and arrived some time before 12. I was told quite curtly that my room was not ready but that they would tell the staff that I had arrived. The room was ready at 12 but the check in process went without a smile. It was as if the receptionist was doing a great favour Letting me have the room. I won’t be going back.

Hotel is in an excellent location in the center of Winchester and has lovely views of the cathedral. Rooms are dated but clean, although grout around the bath/shower was discoloured. Breakfast buffet quite limited and not really worth the money. My major concern however that another guest was issued with a key card for my room and was able to gain entry despite the door chain being in place- poor quality chain. The receptionist was extremely apologetic when i complained about this event. Overall I do not think this hotel is good value for money and if I return to Winchester I will look for an alternative. However I would be prepared to stay there again.

Dangerous unlit corridor , back door open for anybody to walk in off the street, your female cleaning staff and guests are therefore at risk.

On arrival there was no parking spaces in the hotel car park so had to find another car park to use which was more expensive and less secure. We checked in and were sent to a double room (222) this room STANK of stale smoke it was so smelly we couldn’t even fully enter the smell was so strong we could smell it before we opened the door. We returned to reception and were told there were no other rooms and the receptionist would let housekeeping know. Surely the cleaners would have picked up on this when they cleaned!! We were then told our only option was a room near the kitchen which may be loud and the kitchen fan can be heard. The room was old fashioned (124) run down, the bedside lamp on one side didn’t work due to a broken plug with wires exposed. There was no central heating but we were provided with a plug in heater. TV remote didn’t work but could use buttons on the side of the screen. Location of hotel is good for walking to shops, pubs and restaurants.
