The Winchester Hotel is arguably one of the nicer hotels in the former capital village. It's just a…read moreshort walk from the Winchester train station and about a 10 min walk to Jewry Street which has plenty of restaurants and bars. There is free parking if you elect to drive, though the massive parking lot in front of the hotel does not make for the most dramatic of entrances. While it's an older property, the lobby looks recently renovated and surprisingly modern. Room was clean and bath/bed would as you expect from a 3* property. The complex has a nice indoor pool and sauna which I did not expect to find in Winchester. Free fast wifi was a great perk. Overall this was good value and should be on your short list for a clean safe and recently renovated hotel.

I went to this hotel before it's refurb a few years ago, and was cheap and cheerful. So on…read morereturning, it has raised itself to 4 stars. It certainly looks much sleeker. Very clean room, really nice. The main meals were good but it was really let down by the cooked breakfast items. Watery pale scrambled egg, and the usual sausages, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans. Had a bit of everything first morning, felt a bit horrible. Next day had toast beans and hash browns only, the best bits. Also a small continental type breakfast (meats and cheeses) which were nice. But just one type of egg and poorly done wasn't what I expected from a four star. Food has to follow in the upgrade! Ooh almost forgot, did have a room service burger, that was very very nice.

I've stayed in a few hotel du vin hotels before and due to staying at this hotel as a stop off…read morebefore going to the ferry port at Poole for jersey I booked a standard double room. We had arrived very late at night after driving for 5 hours nonstop and we found off street parking as we knew we would be leaving early in the morning for the ferry. The staff was very friendly and directed us to our room with helpful information about what restaurants close by that was still open that they could recommend . The standard double room has a queen size bed , a flat screen tv with a ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with a monsoon shower head inside. It is very high end price for a standard room but location was key for us! I would stay here again if travelling to Poole ferry port.

Not all the waiters were at the same level of professionalism. One lad thumped plates on the table with a distinct lack of care. It has a lovely dining room with an enchanting looking garden outside. Only downside - two lots of overcharging on the bill which took two goes to sort out. Recommended.

This property has a great location near bus and train station and central city. The massages we…read morereceived on-site were fantastic, as were the pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub. The restaurant was very good, with lovely patio seating. We used the hotel as a jumping off poing for two days stay in Winchester after a two-week Baltic cruise. The only problem we had was that we asked for a taxi to be booked for a 5am departure to the train station, to get to an airport bus to take a flight to New York. The booking was not made and the morning manager had to scramble to try and get a cab to come. We caught our train with only one minute to spare. It was very stressful. We had numerous issues with the taxi drivers in the town actually, and sadly, would not return to Winchester because of this issue within the town itself.

Premier Inn is a pretty basic hotel chain. Don't expect five star service here, but as far as three…read morestar hotels go, this place is ok. The location of the hotel is pretty convenient- in the Leisure Park area of town. Abundant free parking, and a shuttle bus to the railway station just behind the hotel (with a day pas only £2.30). Pretty close to the M3 and fairly easy to get to. As far as accommodations, the rooms are newly renovated with wall mount flat screen televisions, neutral colors, and several USB plugs per room. The bathroom was a bit on the tiny side, and the shower didn't drain properly even after we had alerted maintenance. Despite the fact that this hotel chain seems to pride themselves on comfortable beds, the twin bed in my room was anything but- I could almost feel the springs coming through the sheets, it was a fairly rough night. The full size bed in the room seemed to be better however- though neither had really good pillows. There is a Beefeater pub right next door that serves typical fare- as well as breakfast for hotel guests. Prepare for the hotel staff to try to sell you a meal package upon checkin- for me it wasn't worth it as I don't eat breakfast.

Greeted instantly at the reception with a young girl with a huge smile on her face. She checked us in quickly and we were in our room within 5 minutes. Very pleased with the quality of the room for the price that we paid - when I hand over less than £50 for a room I am always dubious of what I am going to be faced with when I open the hotel room door! After freshening up we went downstairs and had a meal in the on-site restaurant. Food was very good and reasonably priced too. A great nights sleep in a very comfy bed!

In fact, the two times that I have stayed here I couldn't hear a thing at night. I paid just under £60 for my room and was very happy with what I got. The room has just been refurbished and still had a slight paint smell to it. The bed was so comfortable I didn't want to get up for work the next morning. Had breakfast in the adjoining restaurant, The Great Oak which was very nice and filling. Had a choice of continental or full english.

As our plans changed, I canceled the reservation about a month ago and received cancellation confirmation email however no refund. I have been calling the hotel weekly for refund at late night and early morning hours from California. The manager is supposed to take care of this but the front desk staff cannot get a hold off the manager. I left him another message at 4:30 am in California (noon in U.K.) hoping the manager will be around. I was again told he is not around and "will call me back" in an hour. No call back again. Frustrated, hope you don't find yourself in this situation for your refunds.

It's like walking into Grandmas house- very comfy and cozy, displayed glassware, and wonderful smells!!! We sat at a window seat so we could people watch, and ordered the goat cheese/croutons as an appetizer, tomato soup and slaw for my lunch and hubs had the 'streaky bacon' which was a wonderfully tender ham steak with apples and roasted veggies. It was all very tasty, I had a glass of wine and hubs had a local beer. 46 pounds total. We love their farm to table meals and we'd definitely be back. Service was friendly and efficient.
