Stayed on a Saturday night on a Dinner, B&B package. Rooms were spacious and clean. Our room looked much better than the pictures on the TripAdvisor site which are I assume from pre-refurb! Complementary wifi with a much better signal that I have had in many more expensive hotels. Really excellent dinner with good choice of dishes. We were expecting... More

We were able to get a good deal here and we certainly weren't disappointed. The hotel has recently undergone a refurb and so our room was lovely with a huge bed and modern bathroom. Strangely, we only had one towels for one person, but as we were only stopping one night it didn't matter too much. The food was excellent.... More

We stayed in the annexe which runs alongside the hidden garden which is where most of the rooms are situated. Although this was a disappointment it was more than made up for by the high standard of the finish in the room. Comfy bed, great size flat screen TV on the wall, with regular Freeview and not the cut-down hotel... More

A lovely hotel in the heart of Winchester and we were impressed by both the public rooms and our bedroom, which was clean, spacious, very nicely decorated and devoid of all the endless promotion bumph which so many hotels think necessary! So far so good. Sadly, many of the staff, although perfectly efficient, could do with a refresher course at... More

Stayed here overnight on a business trip. Nice to not stay in a "bog standard" hotel. Room was great - clean and nicely decorated. Only minor complaint would be that the shower not as hot as I would have liked. I didn't use the restaurant or any other facilities and arrived in the morning so got a parking space. Would... More

Stayed here for a single night over the bank holiday weekend. We tried booking some of the other hotels in Winchester before finally settling on the Royal. I wasn't certain what to expect as the reviews on here were mixed. Personally I would stay here again as it was a good experience and the hotel is in the heart of... More

Great location, large rooms, clean, well kept. Only marking down because the staff are a bit too relaxed. My wife and I gave up on the idea of a late cuppa in the garden, for example, - the bartender disappeared without a trace. And, of course, the call from reception at 2 am asking if I knew whether Rob had... More
