Stayed at the Mercure for one night. This hotel is in a great location for Winchester and our room overlooked the Cathedral. We even heard the bells in the morning. The hotel is much nicer on the inside than it looks from the outside. We stayed for breakfast which was really good.

I could hardly recommend this hotel to friends. The hotel itself is dated and has not been upgraded. The 99.00 British pounds / night and no air conditioning seemed a bit too much. Thankfully the weather was nice and we got by without it. Noise would have been a problem had we not had a fan in the room. I... More

We booked two double rooms in May 2013 for 85GBP per room per night, using the hotel’s website. This price did not include breakfast. The rooms are beginning to look a little dated, but still clean and comfortable. There is free wi-fi available in the rooms. Our room had a lovely view of the Cathedral, although there must be many... More

If you plan on getting a good nights sleep I wouldn't recommend this place, I did read previous reviews about the soundproofing but silly me thought the people writing them might be exaggerating - let me tell you they weren't. You can hear everything from the rooms around you, believe me hearing toilet noises whilst trying to sleep is not... More

Just had a long weekend stay here and, to be honest, I was a little disappointed. I wouldn't say it was the worst place I've stayed in but I don't think it's a 4 star place. The decor was quite tired in our room (peeling paintwork, dripping tap etc) and all we could see out the window was an air... More

The hotel is excellent for its location on our short visit to Winchester.We did not have lunch or dinner at the hotel but had breakfast the following morning which was quite good and adequate prior to our journey north. The previous night we were disappointed when the bar closed at 11-00 p.m. Although we could get served via a night... More

I booked the morning of my arrival at Winchester in the Tourist Information Bureau. As it was a Saturday I asked if there was a wedding party that evening and was told "no, there was no wedding". On arrival at the hotel the receptionist informed me that there was indeed a wedding party, which I had suspected when I saw... More

Had a one-night city-break here. Hotel looks a little tired but view from room spectacular- the Cathedral in all it's glory. The evening meal and breakfasts were fine and the room OK but it's the standard of service that is not good enough. From the surly car park attendant to the indifferent reception when we got there, through to the... More
