Overpriced for room quality and charged an additional £15 to park overnight! Lots of other options to stay in Winchester which are better value/nicer.

Great location, decent night's sleep.
Can't complain about the location, one of the only hotels in Winchester City Centre. Room wasn't the biggest but ticked all the boxes in terms of amenities. The bed was a bit firmer than we're used to but the pillows were decent (something a lot of hotels struggle with!). Room was warm on arrival but air con/heating worked well and it was easy to find a comfortable temperature. Plenty of hot water and decent toiletries. Only real downside is that the hotel is showing its age in terms of decor, especially bathroom fixtures and fittings. I don't doubt it was clean but the marks and scuffs around the room make it look a bit tatty.
