Winchester Royal Hotel

Winchester Royal Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel entrance has the feel of an old coaching inn and very well located for exploring central Winchester and the wider area. The car park is a useful addition to the offering. The walled garden at the rear of the hotel bar/restaurant a lovely haven and a great place to unwind;weather permitting. The buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day and was well managed by the staff. Room was comfortable, but could do with another easy chair rather than just one. A great place to stay in Winchester"

"Friendly and helpfull staff. Rooms were tidy. Small thing to mention, First room had missing TV remote and in second one, it was not working. It didn't affect our stay as we don't use it. You need to pre-book swimming pool and the slot is 45min starting on the hour. This prevents it from being over-crowded, which is a plus. Overall very pleased with our stay. Recommended!"

"Love staying at this hotel and we always use it when we are passing by for Legoland, London or airport stays. It has a really luxurious feel but without crazy prices. A hotel room can host a family of five which is a big plus for us so we don’t have to pay for two rooms. Rooms are huge! Also great coffee in rooms as well as a big bottle of still and sparkling water and treats like Biscoff. Also have sockets on the bedsides for charging which is always helpful in a hotel but often not provided. They also do a great breakfast."
