Would stay again
Room was clean with a tv with many Channels, kettle, heater, fan, iron, towels and extra pillows. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast was great, had a bit of everything, was hot and tasty and was being refilled to keep products available. Only one issue which isn’t with the hotel but feel should mention, there is not much parking. ‘Hotel parking’ is also for pay display general public. The parking spaces out front are also very small, you wouldn’t be able to open the door at all to get out of a couple of the spaces leaving them pointless. Spaces in the back car park past travelodge are normal size if you can get one.

Nice place to stay in good location
Very friendly staff on reception. Efficient check in, room and bar were good and bed was comfortable. One or two parts could do with some upgrading, but overall a good hotel. Location is great in the centre of the city.

On arrival there was no parking spaces in the hotel car park so had to find another car park to use which was more expensive and less secure. We checked in and were sent to a double room (222) this room STANK of stale smoke it was so smelly we couldn’t even fully enter the smell was so strong we could smell it before we opened the door. We returned to reception and were told there were no other rooms and the receptionist would let housekeeping know. Surely the cleaners would have picked up on this when they cleaned!! We were then told our only option was a room near the kitchen which may be loud and the kitchen fan can be heard. The room was old fashioned (124) run down, the bedside lamp on one side didn’t work due to a broken plug with wires exposed. There was no central heating but we were provided with a plug in heater. TV remote didn’t work but could use buttons on the side of the screen. Location of hotel is good for walking to shops, pubs and restaurants.

Great location
This is the first time when I found myself disappointed with the Wessex Hotel. The food was not super - the batter around the fish was soggy and when removed it was a task to find the fish :-( After a long journey I was super tired to retreated to my room early, only to find the bed sheet was not clean and did not look changed. Reception provided another room - though of course I had to repack my belongings and move myself. This experience is not typical of the Wessex, so my surprise and disappointment were evident. The hotel location is super in the heart of Winchester, and is not a budget hotel. But perhaps this was my last stay at the hotel.

The room was not ready at 3pm and when we did eventually get in it was not as clean as you’d like . The bathroom sink in particular was very dirty . The hotel is dated and could do with a complete revamp

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.
