Amazing relaxing break
Had a lovely stay with my friend for a relaxing get away! Had an amazing massage from Sophie on neck, shoulders and back, go as far as to say best massage I have ever gotten! Very attentive, lovely ambience in the room and very calming environment! The staff on the front desk at the spa and hotel reception were very friendly and helpful! The room was spacious, very clean, bed was very comfortable and lovely shower! Not a bad word to say about my stay at Winchester hotel and spa! I will definitely be back!

Slightly disappointing stay but good staff
The hotel is situated on a car park within walking distance of town. On arrival we were allocated a room with a very old bed which dipped in the middle. The aircon was also old. We were moved quickly and pleasantly to a better room, very comfortable bed but very warm with the aircon above the bed blowing straight on you. The spa facilities were good but the pool very small. All the staff were good and quickly dealt with any issues. The water station in reception was a very good idea. We didn’t eat in the hotel as there is plenty of variety in town.

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.
