This hotel is in a good location. It's a short walk from the train station and about a 15 minute walk to the high street. The room was a good size. The only issue I had was the aircon was very noisy and sounded like it was breaking, so I turned it off when I went to bed. Dinner at the Alfred's was very good, as were the breakfast options. The blonde woman at the front desk was also very friendly and professional. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Wonderful weekend break.

Excellent hotel and spa. Easy walking distance into city centre and historic areas. Only fault was the a/c was broken and we didn’t notice until 11pm - we rang the front desk but no one answered, hoping to get a fan. We had trouble sleeping as the room was very hot. Suggest managers check the a/c is working in all the rooms.

Room was a good size and comfortable but a lot of meandering from reception to get there - very cheeky to have to pay for parking £4.80 per day! Breakfast good - dinner average - tasteless chips! V. Noisy bar next to restaurant. Good location near to eateries/attractions etc

Hotel is in a great location to Winchester town. Rooms are decorated beautifully but are stifling hot and our room lacked natural light. We put the air con on but the condensation was pouring from the machine.

Excellent spa hotel

The Winchester Hotel and Spa was a great value stay. I stayed one night for a birthday treat to be able to enjoy the spa. The spa facilities are excellent and included in your stay. The gym was surprisingly well kitted out, but the spa was the highlight. A lovely relaxation area, good amount of places to lounge, lovely heated pool, sauna, hottub, steam room and plunge shower. Excellently comfortable and clean and would be great as a spa day too. The rooms are a clean and comfortable. The restaurant for dinner or breakfast didn't really appeal. The hotel was easy enough to find and a short wander from the train station.
