Given its location next to a grand Norman cathedral, it's very sad to see management allowing this building to get into such a scruffy state inside and out. The staff did their best to give friendly service. Poor value.

Hotel is tired, needs a refurbishment and money spent on public areas. Staff are lovely but not enough of them to keep up with customer needs. Breakfast was a prime example, it was a busy service, but plates were not being cleared and replenishment of hot and cold food not kept up with. Generally poor value for money.

Mercure Wessex is an older boutique style hotel offering amenities such as restaurant and bar among others. While it is an older hotel/building the location of the Mercure is excellent! Right on the corner of Hight St with all of the great shopping and food options and steps away from the Winchester Bus station the hotel has an. incredibly convenient location

Pleasant stay but needs investment
The hotel is well situated just off the high street, we managed to park on site, which was a bonus. The hotel was clean but fixtures and furnishings was very out dated and worn. The reception staff were nice and pleasant but we didn’t eat or drink in restaurant so cannot comment on that. The room was very spacious with lovely view of the cathedral but as mentioned before room needs a make over!

Good room and bed. Choice of menu in the evening very limited. Mostly burger type food so didn’t use the dining room. Realise that it is off season and the hotel very quiet so, unfortunately, no atmosphere in the bar which we also didn’t use.
