"Paid for a premier Internet connect and it doesn't work"

When we try to connect at a browser level which demands our email address that I reluctantly give it comes back incorrect credentials. The reception says "Oh yeah we had that before which browser are you using....use Internet Explorer" Well if their system is not compatible with all browsers (which is technically incompetent to start with) Why not advise such on the slip of paper they printed the internet password on ?????? I try Internet Explorer that doesn't work either. This is a Premier PLUS room that is supposed to have improved internet. Just as well I didn't book a regular room!

"Good stay"

Stayed for 2 nights - first break since Covid and first time to Winchester. Overall had a good stay - rooms clean although not serviced while there. Good car park and most staff and visitors wore face masks while moving round the hotel. Didn't have breakfast there so cannot comment on that - the bar is available to buy drinks to take to your room and you can order from a limited menu at night, also to eat in your room. About a 15 minute walk into the city centre (uphill coming back!). There is a Costa a couple of minutes walk away which was very nice for a quick coffee and bacon roll for breakfast. Ten minutes walk towards town there is a lovely little pub ( the Willow Tree) which has a delightful beer garden next to a stream. We had a very pleasant lunch there and would have returned later in our stay but it was fully booked. The cathedral is beautiful and well worth a visit, as is the Great Hall and castle ruins. The city centre is quite compact and easy to walk round, with plenty of individual shops as well as the larger chains. We had a lovely meal at The Ivy - good food and impeccable service. We also ate at Ask Italian which was brilliant as well - can recommend the sea bass! Very friendly staff and efficient service. Overall a lovely stay, helped by the wonderful weather.

"Two Dirty Rooms Later..."

Paid the extra to stay in Premier Plus room and felt underwhelmed and disappointed. First room had wet towel hanging up and so got moved to a second room only to find toilet not cleaned properly and both kinds of markings to be found. Third room was OK and alright for a one off stay. Unlikely to use this Premier Inn again and disappointed by their overall response. Covid-19 should dictate better cleaning practices but obviously not at this hotel.

"Lovely few days away"

We stayed here this week for 2 nights. Our first trip since lockdown. The hotel is located about 15 minutes away from central Winchester. There is a lovely pub (Willow Tree) about 10 minutes walk down the road with a pretty garden. The hotel was set up well for all Covid-19 restrictions. Breakfast was organised well but obviously less choice as it is nearly all table service. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful, especially on the second day. Brandon was very helpful with a GSOH! Room was on the top floor at the far end of the corridor which suits me as less noise. We have stayed in a fair few Premier Inns and this one was similar. It was very clean and met all our needs. The parking was easy. The bar is not open but you can purchase drinks at the bar to take to your room. Regarding Winchester we visited a few pubs - Wykeham Arms, Eclipse Inn, Crown & Anchor, Slug & Lettuce - they were all good and we felt safe in most places. We ate in ASK which was really nice and the Ghurka Inn which was very tasty - would recommend both. We visited the Cathedral, Great Hall, Westgate Museum (very small) and Wolvesey Castle (free). A fab few days :-)

Hotel description Just a mile from the majesty of Winchester Cathedral town centre, with its award-winning pubs, restaurants and a tempting array of independent shops, this hotel is ideally situated for business and leisure guests. This culturally- rich medieval city is surrounded by idyllic Hampshire villages and fabulous rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park. The hotel is within a half a mile of the M3 (J9), while the train station is just 1 mile away and has direct connections to London and the South. Winchester Hotel has everything you'd expect for a great stay, with 101 new generation bedrooms featuring impressive 40" flat screen TVs and brand new, slumber-inducing, king- size Hypnos beds, plus on-site Thyme restaurant and licensed bar.
