A poor stay

The room itself was a good size however wallpaper was coming off the wall in several paces. The carpet at the threshold was threadbare. The plug socket above the dressing table was loose and coming off the wall. Water systems very noisy from other rooms & Finally the skirting board had been kicked in below the air con.

At checkout, the man on reception didn't even bother to ask us if we had enjoyed our two night stay, which I think sums up the hotel's attitude which seemed pretty nonchalant and uncaring towards its guests. On the first night of our stay, a wedding reception was taking place at the hotel. We have stayed in many hotels where weddings are taking place and hotels always, in my experience, try to put non-wedding guests, like us, in a quiet part of the hotel, especially when they have booked weeks in advance, as we did. Not here, we were on the first floor, and the noise from the music was enough to stop us sleeping after a long and tiring week. The music stopped at midnight, so it wasn't too late, but nevertheless we paid good money for our room and expected it to be a good deal quieter than it was. It is a large hotel, on three floors, surely there was somewhere quieter for non-wedding guests? This isn't a moan at the wedding people I stress, it is their big day and they can enjoy themselves however they want. Everything else about the hotel was average at best. The breakfast was adequate, no better. The room was OK. The car park was a challenge. Most of the staff, apart from the man on reception at checkout, were OK. I won't be staying there again.

Amazing relaxing break

Had a lovely stay with my friend for a relaxing get away! Had an amazing massage from Sophie on neck, shoulders and back, go as far as to say best massage I have ever gotten! Very attentive, lovely ambience in the room and very calming environment! The staff on the front desk at the spa and hotel reception were very friendly and helpful! The room was spacious, very clean, bed was very comfortable and lovely shower! Not a bad word to say about my stay at Winchester hotel and spa! I will definitely be back!

Slightly disappointing stay but good staff

The hotel is situated on a car park within walking distance of town. On arrival we were allocated a room with a very old bed which dipped in the middle. The aircon was also old. We were moved quickly and pleasantly to a better room, very comfortable bed but very warm with the aircon above the bed blowing straight on you. The spa facilities were good but the pool very small. All the staff were good and quickly dealt with any issues. The water station in reception was a very good idea. We didn’t eat in the hotel as there is plenty of variety in town.
