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.

Our room was much too far from the reception. Long corridors, two lifts and a bizzare carpet which made us feel giddy. We had asked for breakfast to be included but it wasn’t. Overall a mediocre experience.

Staff were friendly throughout. Hotel was clean, well decorated and comfortable. The spa was fabulous and a welcome addition after a day of walking in Winchester. This is likely more of a personal request but since they have communal changing areas, bigger towels for those guests that just can't quite fit normal towels would be an appreciated addition - it's the little things!
