Spa area was amazing, very relaxing experience and friendly staff. It felt very luxury being in the spa area and pool and jacuzzi also luxurious. Bathroom could do with some general maintenance i.e. shelf fittings loose and shower head leaking. Shower also did not have any symbols for hot/cold or on/off so took time to figure out how to have the right temperature. Pillows also too soft to sleep on causing neck pain. Internet also very poor in the room.

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

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.

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.

Modern and comfortable hotel close to town centre.

Lovely spacious room with a big comfy bed. Good facilities like an ironing board, coffee station and hair dryer. The spa was lovely and modern. Sauna, steam room, hot tub and pool all clean and relaxing. Comfortable bar with a good selection of wines and cocktails. Would definitely stay again.

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.
