The Mercure is unbelievably located, with views of Winchester Cathedral next door. It's close to everything and we walked over for an evening service at the Cathedral in about a minute. The room was very nice, amazing shower, great water pressure. Lots of room, very clean. Lovely amenities. The one place where this hotel really fell down was in their... more

The hotel was located in the centre of Winchester affording beautiful views overlooking the cathedral. The hotel room was clean and spacious with daily maid service. The best thing about this hotel was the breakfast - a fantastic offering of the great British breakfast with all the trimmings. The hotel bar was also a nice way to relax and enjoy... more

Last night we attended our annual agm and some advise if you are thinking of holding a function here. You definately need to pop round to Pitza hut first. The food was the worst we`ve had in years We were called to eat at 8 and it was nearly 9 before we had our "starter" 3 pieces for motzerella size... more

We stayed at the Wessex Hotel in June last year as part of our wedding celebrations, we also held our reception there. We had a wonderful wedding day and the food provided by the Wessex was wonderful. Our guests loved the location, which is second to none in Winchester. The service at the hotel was in general very good, from... more

I would agree with some of the reviews below that The Wessex looks a little tired in its decor, but I felt that this fitted with the olde English look of Winchester in quaint kind of way! In my view the hotel just needs to employ more staff, there was a queue every time I went to speak to someone... more

We ate at the hotel last night and I have to say it was the worst meal I have had in years. To start we had salmon and prawns which was basically lettuce, salmon and prawns on a plate. There was no dressing or lemon which was a bit of a shock. The roast turkey meal we had was even... more

We stayed on a Saturday night (rugby world cup final weekend), having booked the hotel due to its location rather than its reputation. The position of the hotel is excellent with great views of the cathedral from our bedroom, the bar and the restaurant. The staff seemed pretty efficient, and our room was fine and quite spacious. However, the place... more

Rooms very small. We had a twin room booked and the beds were only about 5cm apart! Had a good view from the room of the cathedral. Car parking was ok and very close to the entrance - no valet service. Didn't dine in the restaurant - very over priced so went elsewhere. Close to the shops and dining options... more
