The hotel was nice and clean. Some of the features within the room could do with updating. The TV was connected to the WiFi which is a nice touch, as most hotels have this feature disabled. Parking was limited, meaning we had to find some elsewhere.

Loved Winchester. What a pretty town. Hotel well located and the staff were fairly pleasant, but that’s where it ends. We were allocated a tiny room, poor quality duvet, boiling hot - even with the radiator off, fan on and window open. 3* bathroom. Odd hotel. Given the price, we definitely wouldn’t return.
