Liked the location. Rooms were above the bar but don’t hear any noise. Staff were suburb. Parking was the only issue and had to stay in the multi storey car park which was £18 for 24 hrs.

I stayed at the Westgate pub when in Winchester for work. The staff were friendly, my room was cosy and comfortable, and the food was great. The Westgate felt like a safe, welcoming place to stay and I would definitely visit again.

I loved this olde worlde hotel with its quirky characteristics like the uneven floors and the wonky staircase. I just had to take a photo of my bedroom door! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and the food was delicious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I needed a place near the Saxon sites and Cathedral. And it didn't hurt that the Westgate was just a five minute walk from the rail station. It's an old place, and it had the feel of the ages in the floors and doors. But that was part of the overall experience for me. It had charm. The staff was very accommodating, and I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the Westgate. It was all good. And it was across the street from the medieval Westgate to the city as well. I would stay there again if ever get the chance to visit the area again.

Great place to stay

Location was great, 5 min walk from the train station, and central for the city attractions. Ben and the team were really friendly and helpful. The food we had was good value and tasty. We stayed in a 'comfy double'which was spacious and comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable. Checkout was at 11am which is helpful.

Pleasant stay

Nice stay in a pub providing rooms above. Building is a bit dated so it was quite cold - the heating didn’t initially work but they sorted it after. Clean bathroom and bed. Very friendly staff who let us check in a bit earlier.

For a Pub with rooms I was pleasantly surprised how nice the rooms were. The rooms are obviously newly refurbished but in really nice style. All staff friendly and the Breakfast was delicious, included in our room rate too. We stayed here because we had a family garden party, 5mins easy walk from Train Station and the town Cathedral super close. I gave a 4 star rating on property only because my brothers room had a bad drain smell, they were a little miffed.

Beautiful Georgian pub/hotel in the heart of Winchester. Pub is relaxing and friendly. Like the ability to order drinks/food from the table. Lovely bedroom and comfortable bed. Reduced road noise as double glazing helps with soundproofing. Highly recommend

VERY steep, narrow and twisting stairs to access the bedrooms. BE WARNED!!! Also bar refuses to take cash. Thats a big deal in my world. Very convenient location for a Winchester visit if these are not important issues.

Great room

The room was great, perfect for what I needed, really comfortable bed. The toiletries smelt amazing (I will probably hunt them down to purchase). Location for Winchester is also ideal. The only downside was breakfast I'm sure it would have been delicious but as I was needing to get to the office for 9am I was tight for time even if breakfast had been available at the advertised time of 8am but as there was a note on the stairs in the morning to say it was delayed (these things happen) I missed it

What a lovely gem! Surprisingly quiet once in the room, despite a busy bar. The room felt sumptuous, it was clean and comfortable with all the expected extras (hot drink making facilities, hairdryer etc) Being older guests we managed the stairs reasonably well but it may not suit those with limited mobility, this is due to the historic nature of the building. Breakfast was not offered at the time we stayed but we found plenty of options nearby. We dined in the pub/inn and found that a very good call, although it is a popular place so noise was a slight issue ( very difficult to hold a conversation) but we accepted that as part of the experience. All in all a positive experience and we would return

Poor Breakfast and Poor service - Avoid

went to check in and receptionist said I should have paid hotel.com direct and that i couldn’t pay hotel directly. Spoke to Hotel.con who were really good and they confirmed the booking was pay on arrival. The hotel receptionist didn’t seem to understand the booking/payment process. Breakfast was absolutely rubbish, possiblly the worst breakfast I have encountered in 42 years of travelling and I would say I have stayed at over 1,500 hotels. The cold buffet were packets of cereals , wet/soggy pain au chocolate and pathetic croissant, had to ask for milk, jam , butter etc. Ordered the Eggs Royale and one cold poached egg arrived on salmon on a cold toasted soggy bread. The hollandaise sauce came separately and was cold. I did complain to the hotel - however their response was “ Wow, I am really surprised to receive his feedback - we generally get excellent feedback about our breakfasts but I can see we missed the mark this morning with that Eggs Royale! I am so sorry for the issues you encountered and I have a meeting set for this afternoon with the kitchen team to discuss your feedback. I apologise about the small offering; Unfortunately, due to an exceptionally busier than expected week, our breakfast selection was smaller than usual which generally includes sliced meats, cheeses and yoghurts; all of which are currently out of stock”
