    Very noisy rooms. We could hear all sorts from both the road and the rooms next/above us. Killed all romanticism a few times. Definitely not insulated as advertised! No Nespresso coffee as per advertised. Broken Shower panel , purely an aesthetic defect but quite annoying.

    Lovely central location , view of the cathedral, great front staff

    The room was very hot,no air conditioning, and window only opened a short way,the cleaning lacked a lot of attension to detail, tea bags and milk not replaced, one day only 1 set of towels were left, but after contacting reception this was rectified straight away.

    Location was the best, our room overlooked the cathedral, breakfast was fine plenty of choice and comfortable dining area.beds comfy and room size good, shower easy to use and very good.would stay here again, there was a car park, but travelled by train so did not use.this would be a plus, being in the middle of winchester , and parking being at a premium.

    Breakfast was mediocre for such a quality brand hotel. More minor things that may upset some people ....although toilet door would close it wouldn't lock, cheapest toilet paper possible supplied, room decor and bedding a little tired.

    Location was very good. room was spacious and clean, staff friendly. Late check out (i.e. noon).

    For the price, it would be hard to improve. I prefer a walk-in or dedicated shower instead of a bath with a shower.

    The hotel is right in the centre with its own parking and overflows opposite into the council car park if there is no room. My room overlooked the cathedral as did the dining room, which made for fabulous outlook. The bar is well stocked and there is plenty of comfortable seating. The high street is just around the corner, making the hotel handy for shopping and restaurants. The hotel food was very good and the evening meals were delicious and inexpensive with a nice choice of dishes. The executive room was worth the small extra cost. The view over the cathedral grounds was nice and the large window made the room airy. There was a nice touch on arrival with a handwritten note from the manager and a plate of fruit and chocolate. The bathroom was fine. The free wifi throughout was very handy and easy to use.

    There was a nightclub nearby and the music went into the night. Bin lorries noisily emptied industrial bins overnight.

    The hotel is in a good location by the cathedral and shops. The facilities were clean. Staff were helpful and polite. Self service breakfast-as much as you want-was lovely.
