Perfect location. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment. The staff were pleasant and efficient. The garden area is beautiful with plenty of seating. The only thing was that the room was so hot. A fan was provided but luckily I’d also taken my own. The windows don’t open far for security.

Great overnight stay

We stayed for one night. Lovely lady on reception, polite, efficient and friendly. Beautiful room (we were given an upgrade), very spacious, clean, comfortable bed. Plenty of choice with tea, coffee, biscuits etc. The toiletries were good quality. Lovely big bathroom. The room was mega hot but there was a great fan so no problem. Would recommend. Great location too.

The Winchester Royal Hotel was great for one night's stay. My garden view room felt like a suite after my stay in one of London's modern hotels with a tiny narrow room. The room had almost everything one would want--except for air conditioning. It was a tad warm and stuffy. They did have a fan to provide circulation. Since my room was on the ground floor, I did not feel comfortable leaving the windows open even with the safety chain that should keep someone from being able to climb through. It was cooler outside than inside. Lack of air conditioning in some of the rooms would not be a problem during cooler periods. I enjoyed having the tea kettle and the towel warmer. There were also an iron and ironing board and a hair dryer that I did not use. The TV worked well. The chair was comfortable. The bed was comfortable as well. The towels are thick and fluffy. The step up into the tub/shower is high. Someone with mobility issues might find it difficult to maneuver getting into and out of the tub. The glass between the shower and toilet only goes halfway down the length of the tub. Water gets on the floor.

It was a very peaceful place, spotlessly clean, nice bed and bedlinen easy walk from the train station and town centre and cathedral. The garden was so peaceful. Lots of plugs, nice lights pleasant decor and toiletries. I booked an upgraded executive room for the following elements that weren’t all provided: black out blinds (they were there but didn’t cover the window so bright) garden view (I got it but only after stressful negotiations with reception) deep soak tub (it was a regular bath) robe and slippers(weren’t provided) the bed was good but the pillows were like bricks. They don’t have aircon either. The first room they put me in at the back of the hotel had a horrible view and I think possibly water heater pipes under the floor. If you stay you need to ensure you upgrade to a garden view and I wouldn’t recommend for hot summer nights as the fan doesn’t really cut it. Probably better for autumn or spring.
