Top Class
Love The Winchester Hotel and Spa. Can’t wait to return. The Spa facilities are amazing, breakfast up there with the best but the most appropriated was the quality of the staff, so welcoming, courteous and professional. All this and a short walk into town centre. Thank you all!! ❤️

Great location with an easy walk to the centre. Clean, warm and comfortable stay. Parking was easy and reasonable (extra cost). Tea tray a little disappointing for the style of hotel.

Amazing Hotel !
We have just got back from an incredible stay at the Winchester Spa Hotel. From the moment we stepped through the entrance till the time we checked out. The reception staff were polite and helpful, the foyer was beautiful decorated. Our room was close to the spa which was an excellent location. We stayed 1 night to go to the Christmas market, wished we’d have had 2 nights though. The town is a 10 min walk with lots of nice bars and restaurants. We had brunch at Kavi Coffee which I can highly recommend and also a drink at the Cabinet Rooms again excellent. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, the food was amazing and well presented. Lovely staff. We enjoyed the spa which was fairly quiet considering it was a busy Christmas weekend, so able to use the jacuzzi, sauna and pool, and the beautiful relaxation room. Which had drinks and fruit provided. I can honestly say the whole weekend was amazing. Parking is provided at a cost. A lovely surprise was a voucher towards a drink per room. Not sure how long the offer would be on for though. I can highly recommend the hotel and Winchester itself for a weekend break.

A short stay
We visited the bar for a coffee on a quiet Thursday afternoon. I waited 1/2 hour for two coffees, and one was unpalatable. We didn’t risk it a second time during our stay. The restaurant was ok. Food was nice. Throughout the hotel it seemed to be staffed with very young members of staff. From reception, bar, restaurant and house keeping staff. They seemed to lack experience or the knowledge of how to be personable. I’d say slightly robotic and reading from a script. The room was described as a Classic Double room. This felt like a storage room. Bigger than a cupboard though. House keeping were by far the friendliest. There wasn’t a window. Just a roof light. So you only knew if it was night or day. Raining or not. This meant unfortunately you needed lights on during the day. A waste of energy perhaps. It was ok though. Two of the lights didn’t work. If you wanted fresh air at all, that wasn’t going be possible. We did wonder if there had been a fire and you were unable to leave through the corridor, your only option would be to stay and wait for rescue through the room door. We know how that can work out! Next year when we come back for the fantastic Christmas Market. We would stay here again. But only after we’ve looked at all the other options first. Last note. Cleanliness. Generally it looked and gave you a feeling of being ok. Some of the corners of the ceilings which had quite well established cobwebs forming and the odd mirror with finger prints.

Hotel was very nice, room was comfortable, very warm but a little tired. Sink plug hole wasn’t working and wouldn’t hold water in sink. Turning on the shower left a sewage smell in the bathroom. Breakfast very nice with a good selection. We would stay again.

Could be a really nice hotel, but it's sadly not. Checked in and the interconnecting door was open, fridge not working, no safe in the room, chipped and stained toilet seats, accessible room allocated despite not being requested, fruit platter full of mould, dirty towels everywhere outside the room causing trip hazards etc... Staff also not consistent in their service. Called for Reception and Room service and no one picks up... I had beverage credit included in my Expedia reservation and this was not given to me... Housekeeping made homophobic comments as I was staying with a friend for the first night (had twin beds) and on the second day staying by myself and asked for a double bed to be made. Housekeeping started shouting to the other attendants how 2 girls are sharing a bed? They then continued to make me a twin bed? All was just such a let down. I wouldn't stay here again, a disappointing stay sadly!
