We’ve held a couple of corporate functions here and the Winchester Hotel and Spa has been perfect! Firstly, huge shoutout goes to Jo who is absolutely amazing to deal with. She keeps me on track with deadlines, has really good suggestions and just makes organising an event a piece of cake. Jo’s a complete credit to the hotel. As for the venue, its location is fantastic and has plenty of parking, yes you have to pay for parking, but it’s not an outrageous cost. Inside has been beautifully decorated and is such a lovely venue to be in. The function room especially as an original backdrop that was a focal point. I’d also like to add that the staff are friendly, polite and respectful, they have not let the hotel down in any way shape or form at my events or the events I have attended there.

We recently hosted a birthday party here and had an absolutely wonderful time! The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. A huge thank you to Jodie in reservations for making the booking process so easy and stress-free. Upon arrival, Summer, Jess, and Oakley at reception gave us such a warm welcome and set a great tone for the day. The food was a highlight—compliments to Simon and Chris in the kitchen for the delicious meals. A special shoutout to Tobby from the F&B team, who took excellent care of us. Thank you all for making the birthday so memorable!

Great location, just a short walk into Winchester. Rooms clean and good size. Staff incredibly friendly. My only comment is the spa was incredibly busy and really weren’t able to use the sauna, steam room or jacuzzi as there were simply too many people.

We visited over the festive season. Christmas lunch was good and buffet meals and breakfast in between were also well presented. Our room was quiet, thankfully no banging doors. The room could have done with an update decor wise, we opted out of having our room serviced with sign provided. Toiletries provided were used and we loved our complimentary Christmas welcome box

A very good hotel. Excellent location, only a 10 minute walk from the town centre. Very nice decor in the lobby and bar area. The spa facilities are excellent - decent sized sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The pool is quite small but very nice. The breakfast was top notch. A really great selection and the hotel caters extremely well for gluten free - in fact I have rarely seen so many GF options. It is dog friendly and we were made to feel welcome with our dog - we had to eat in the bar area with the dog but this worked very well. On the downside, our standard double room was quite small and nothing special, although the bed was very comfortable. Perhaps other rooms are more special. The main bugbear was that the spa got very busy during our stay - sometimes it was at capacity and we had to wait to use it. I have removed a star for this, otherwise I probably would have given 5 stars. Overall, a very nice hotel and we would come again.
