Spa in the city

I would definitely recommend this hotel. We visited Stonehenge and wanted to also see Winchester cathedral, which was a 10min walk away. Parking was plentiful, yet £7.20 a night. Cheaper than most hotel car parks these days. Great service from all the staff. Check in, spa, the bar and housekeeping. Room was clean, modern and the bed very comfortable. The spa was just what you needed to relax after a day sight seeing. Great amenities and would stay again.

I am disabled and use a wheelchair. I was in an accessible bedroom with accessible bathroom. The bathroom was unsafe. The floor tiles were slippery and I almost fell over. There were not enough handrails. The toilet was really low. There was no hot water in the sink. I felt very unsafe and would not recommend this to other wheelchair users. The bathroom was designed very badly.

It’s a supremely comfortable hotel. The staff are excellent. Really amenable & helpful. Hugely appreciated the front desk teams various kinds of assistance. And the hospitality team are ace too. Toby went above and beyond to also help with a tech matter. Medi was a delight on the bar. Thanks to all!

Top Class

Love The Winchester Hotel and Spa. Can’t wait to return. The Spa facilities are amazing, breakfast up there with the best but the most appropriated was the quality of the staff, so welcoming, courteous and professional. All this and a short walk into town centre. Thank you all!! ❤️

Great location with an easy walk to the centre. Clean, warm and comfortable stay. Parking was easy and reasonable (extra cost). Tea tray a little disappointing for the style of hotel.
