Great location, needs TLC

stash85 Friends getaway - 4/13/2024 TripAdvisor review

Superb location, couldn’t fault that, right next to Winchester Cathedral and a few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and pubs. Car park on site (chargeable at £15 a night) however it is a tight car park with not many spaces, so come with an alternative option during peak season. Check in was okay, receptionist could have been a bit more informative as did not tell us what time or where breakfast was or bar/restaurant opening times, came back later in the day and someone else gave us the information. Arthur in the bar was fab, very attentive and can tell he enjoys his job- an asset to your team. Rooms were clean, bed comfy, however the hotel and rooms are looking very tired now, and it could do with a refurb.

I’m so glad that you had an enjoyable time during your stay at The Mercure Hotel Winchester Wessex. We just changed all our bedroom carpet and curtains. We are now painting the last few bedrooms and then we will start with the public areas. First come, first served parking is available and when our carpark is full there is a public carpark across the road. We hope we can welcome you back to the property in the near future.

Satisfactory stay

Carols Couples - 4/11/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

Actual room was lovely — spacious, 4 poster bed and overlooking the cathedral. However it is in need of a refurb. The bed was very soft and extremely uncomfortable, hardly any water came out of the hot tap, fridge didn’t work and room just needed refreshing with some attention needed to the chair and settee - grubby and worn. A pity as the location is perfect but overall the hotel needs some attention.

Dear Carol S., Thanks for leaving your thoughts here. The team and I are glad that you enjoyed your stay, and we’ve taken note of your comments and I will discuss this with my team. The team and I hope we can welcome you back to the property in the near future. Kind regards, Eric-Enno Snel General Manager
