Informal, buzzy hotel with lovely, friendly and efficient staff. Had an issue with our room and quickly moved. We booked basic twin but would go for the club in future as more roomy and modernised. Dog friendly hotel, dogs I think are booked into the ground floor rooms.
Menus in bar and restaurant which are right next door to each other are good for allergies. I’m GF but had no problem. Pool is small and busy but all one depth and not too deep. Well maintained and you can’t get in without filling in a form, being a guest or a member. Didn’t have time for a treatment. Hotel parking is limited, saw some charging points. We parked in front of hotel reception in the public car park which was fine about £7 a day I think? There is a short walk to the Cathedral, shops and even nearer for the theatre. Slopey rather than hilly. Good location. We felt safe there. Good shopping! Will book again.

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.

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

Lovely property but the reception desk is very busy and you can be waiting 10 minutes to speak to someone.
Spa is lovely and the hours are later than advertised.

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.
