Perfect for a stay in the centre of Winchester. Comfortable beds, nice rooms and bathroom. Staff were great, very helpful and the overnight carpark fee covers you until checkout. The bar was comfortable and had great recommendations too. Good value for money with a little feel of luxury. Have stayed here twice now and not been disappointed.

We stayed one night at a historic and cultural hotel which stood in a convenient location. We loved the spacious garden in the evening enjoying dinner there. Although the hotel has centuries of history, every corner of the hotel was well maintained by keeping the tradition and atmosphere at its original style. The room was a bit old (which the floor was a bit leaning), the two nights stay was comfortable and relaxing. For those visitors who cherish the value of history and traditions, this hotel would absolutely fit your taste. For those who is look for functional and modern facilities, this may not be the one. However, this hotel would be an eye opener to diversify your values of appreciating what our ancestors left for us.

Staff were awful, no welcome drink as advertised, stood and watched both of us struggle with our luggage (through doors and up stairs), decor in the very dated, shelves hanging off the wall (room 104), toilet stank of urine (room 104)… All reported and nothing done at all. No staff at reception on a Sat morning to check out for 10 mins so we just left.
