Winchester Christmas Markets weekend away
Room was comfortable and very central to Winchester which was great, however a few external factors made the stay disappointing. Was woken up by a fire alarm Sunday morning ~6am twice. Was disturbed by slamming doors continuously on Monday morning from ~9am. There was no room service available on Sunday evening.

Alarm!
We stayed here for a weekend in Winchester for the Christmas market. When we arrived in our room we were a little put out by the small bed and the old style of the room, it was a bit like being in the servants quarters! However, we weren't too put off as we had really booked for location. On the first morning we were there an alarm sounded really loudly in the room, after a minute or so it stopped and we didn't think much more, it was probably 10am. The next morning we were woken by the same alarm at about 6.20! Really not ok that early and did not appreciate it. Managed to go back to sleep, only to be woken again! Nothing was said to us as we checked out but hugely disappointed with the alarm situation. 3 times in one weekend, and so early, was really not ok.

Not good
No parking available, bathroom mouldy on shower curtain and tiles with cracked tiles on the floor. Fire alarm went off twice. Able to hear couple in above room having s*x, soundproofing on rooms not good. Reception and bar areas nice but rooms more like 2 star. Would not return and definitely not value for money.

The front of house staff were very good. But the cleaning staff were bad, our room was dirty, especially in the bathroom. The rooms are tired and need updating.

Nice one night stay
Booked a one night stay for birthday trip away, first time in this hotel. Our privilege room was on the top floor with nice view of the cathedral, it was spacious & comfortable the bed was big & particularly comfy & I had a great sleep. Large tv, fridge, good coffee, nice toiletries, robes & slippers all made for a very enjoyable stay. Room was a bit cold on arrival but we plugged in electric heater & it warmed up super quick. I would agree with other reviewers that the hotel it’s self needs a refurb yes paint work was a bit marked & chipped & the window catches were certainly passed their best, the window sill area was all a bit scruffy looking & the table top particularly marked & very much in need of replacement. However the room & bathroom were spotlessly clean so no complaints there from us. Breakfast was a very pleasant experience, good selection of hot & cold food, pastries, cereals, fruit etc the coffee machine takes forever as does the toaster but we weren’t in a hurry so didn’t cause us any issues. All in all a good time was had by us.

The room was described as being "soundproof", which is why we chose to stay. Ironically,this is the noisiest hotel we've ever stayed in. Every sound from the corridor and neighbouring rooms can be heard. The room was ok otherwise, and the bed was comfortable.

OK stay but not great!
Ok stay. But room was not available at 1500 hrs as advertise, but half hour later ( apparently previous guests did not vacate on time ). Given it is an old property, condition is pretty good !

Expensive Stay
Staff friendly, clean room although bathroom needs updating as does the carpet in bar area. Got lucky with the parking to our relief and the close proximity of the hotel to the centre is great. The biggest bug bear of our stay was the price of a bottle of wine at £36.00 that costs £16.00 in Tesco. The cost of the stay was expensive also.
