Stayed two nights linked to a conference. I went for the best available rate (as I was spending public money). The hotel is incredibly 1980s with heavy floral wallpaper etc etc and just a little bit tatty overall. I stayed in the old part of the hotel. The room was adequate, but the bed was incredibly soft and uncomfortable. The... more

arriving & learning my room was on the top floor I advised them my wife was disabled the duty manager didn't want to know and came across as if she didn't care they had got the booking and it wasn't going to change now and with bad legs they still made her walk up two flights of stairs (no lifts)... more

We arrived on Friday night having booked online for 2 nights. My husband wanted to confirm our internet booking 2 days beforehand despite having a confirmation though it seemed unnecessary but I am glad he did as they had no information about our booking. He confirmed by telephone and the receptionist said that everything was in order. When we arrived... more

Arrived at the hotel 19:30 to find the car park completely full and many cars double parked blocking each other, not a great start ! Eventually I was lucky enough to find a spot... more

We stayed here for one night and it was excellent value. We had a large double room in the Annexe overlooking the garden. Yes, the room and bathroom could do with a refurb but it was warm and clean and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was good - a nice choice including cooked breakfast. The hotel is in the centre... more

The hotel is ideally situated in the center of Winchester which allows you to eat / drink / shop without the need for traveling. The hotel restaurant well... more

In Winchester to attend a wedding, my husband and I chose the Royal for its central location and also because I had stayed there some 10 years before and found it quite adequate. The staff of the hotel are very nice and responsive. On arrival we were given a double room in the garden wing. Nice view of the gardens,... more

Although it was very busy with a conference and a wedding party, everything was well ordered. My only... more
