Miinukset:

Plussat: Your Hotel was very friendly, clean and your staff were very attentive.

Miinukset: Bar was very busy at times, felt the staffing level at these times were a bit down, causing embarrasment to your staff who were doing their best to support your guests and keep the beer flowing

Plussat: Very good staff. Central location. Car Park

Plussat: Friendly staff. Good food and excellent facilities.

Miinukset: Inability to deal with two complaints about the room adequately or to compensate for these

Plussat: breakfast

Miinukset: cushions on the bed didnt look clean

Plussat: comfortable room, pleasant staff, excellent breakfast, convenient location for town

Miinukset: our booking had not registered on their system despite my e-mailed confirmation, however it was dealt with efficiently on our arrival;disappointed with the swimming pool which was more akin to a child's paddling pool for one

Plussat: coffee & tea in your room for your use great as we arrived at 1am.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The staff were excellent. The food was very good, beautifully presented with a high level of cleanliness and comfort.

Miinukset: I could not fault it.

Plussat: The reception staff were excellent.

Miinukset: The drinks were expensive at the bar - £10 for 3 tea's and a coffee.

Plussat: The day staff were excellent and made us feel very welcome. A lovely modern feel to the hotel and room facilaties were excellent. A very comfortable stay at a good discounted rate.

Miinukset: Not enough car parking spaces. Night reception not available to answer for room service, physically went to reception no-one at the desk. Resturant - Not a lot of room in the buffet area.

Plussat: Central location

Miinukset: Car parking

Plussat: central location to explore Winchester nice layout and friendly

Miinukset: Room was a bit chilly Car park was crazy

Plussat: I liked teh friendly staff whow ere always willing to help plus particularly the on site parking which saved significant amount of parking.

Miinukset: The lounge area was exteremly hot and stuffy in the early evening which made it an unpleasant place to sit.

Plussat: helpful and friendly staff

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Free parking even though the car park was fairly small so there could be a problem at night.. The breakfast was fresh for a cooked buffet although limited to only one choice of eggs - fried.

Miinukset: No nibblies (olives/peanuts etc) at the bar to accompany our wine although the bar girl did offer to go and ask the chef. The corridors were very creaky so we could hear all late night and early morning people.

Plussat: Its location for exploring Winchester is perfect. It is not the easiest place to find, we got it on the second time round the one way circuit! The place is warm and welcoming.

Miinukset: There was a hint of shabiness about the place; the counterpaine was stained, the wallpaper in our room peeling in one corner, the shower hose only partially secured to the wall, basin hot tap dripping...

Miinukset: Hotelli oli kylmä, huoneessa tuuli sisällä

Plussat: The garden was lovely, the room very comfortable and the staff very friendly.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Quite basic rooms

Plussat: location

Miinukset: difficulty parking

Plussat: Room was reasonable size and had ok views. Restaurant nice and breakfast ok.

Miinukset: Poor treatment by reception when we found we had left some clothing behind. Difficulty in extracting car from over-crowded car park. Room, particularly bathroom, in need of revamp.

Plussat: As asked above, it was clean, and the staff were friendly. The spa facilities are very good.

Miinukset: It's advertised as a Country House Hotel; it isn't. The 'Manor House' might once have been one, but it's definitely a conference hotel. There's no sitting room as you'd expect (the bar doesn't really count), and the entire place is set up for large parties - conference or, presumably, touring. The food was adequate, I wouldn't say fantastic; they're catering for mid-range. We initially booked into the hotel and were given a room almost as far away from the main part of the hotel as you could get. We upgraded to the 'Manor House' at an additional £15 per night. We won't go there again, and probably won't use Qhotels again.

Plussat: The treatments I had in the Spa were the best parts of my stay. However, I did find the staff very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was great!

Miinukset: Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the room service at all - extremely slow (nearly 40 mins to bring a sandwich!), the sandwich had no wholegrain mustard mayo in it (which was on the menu), and the chips I'd ordered to go with them were only half cooked. Also, I found the bed extremely hard, so didn't get much sleep.

Plussat: It was very peaceful and quiet!

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The hotel position was good enabling guests to walk around the grounds and get some valued fresh air and nature walks. The summer will be especially good for outside interests.

Miinukset: The rooms were comfy but small, and more drawer space was needed for a stay longer than 2 days.

Plussat: cosy bar lounge and fantastic breakfast

Plussat: The room was very nice

Miinukset: Loud music and noise on first night from rowdy wedding party

Plussat: clean well priced hotel

Miinukset: We had to wait in the bar for 15mins before a table was free for breakfast because, 'unpredicatbly all the guests turned up for breakfast at breakfast time!'

Plussat: good breakfast

Miinukset: After check in it was not easy to find our room. No signs! Very unpractical with heavy luggage!

Plussat: The surroundings were beautiful. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was of excellent quality.

Miinukset: The sound proofing from the corridor to the room was not too good.

Plussat: design of rooms, location

Miinukset: Refurbishment not finished - dangerous to walk over scaffolding bridge (wet) - confusion in the dining room( Saturday night when busy)

Plussat: Location and quiet

Miinukset: Extensive building work is going on, and though it stated "some" building work i wasnt aware we would have to walk on scaffolding and gang planks, also they had a large plasma screen tv in the bar, a satellite dish on the roof but the staff were "not allowed" to put the tv onto anything other than advertising the hotel!

Plussat:

Miinukset: Generally unimpressed... room wasn't cleaned properly staff were no on the ball,. Despite booking a late breakfast (which made school dinners look good) and late check out we were woken by chamber maid coming in our room at 8.45am. Duty manager refunded cost of breakfasts off our bill but we still wouldnt stay there again!

Plussat: Reception and bath room

Plussat: It was a very plesant stay

Miinukset: The price and value of your meals in the Resturant ,I think for the prices you change and the amount of food you get is not good enough. My husband and myself was only there for one night and actually did not intend eating in the hotel, But not knowing the area made it difficult to find anywhere to eat so decided to Treat ourselves and eat in the hotel only to find that they served the tinyest meals that we had ever seen. We feel when poeple have been traveling all day and need a dicant evening meal to get some thing so small is disgusting. It really put us off staying there again .We don't mind what we pay when we go away has this was a treat for our aniversary but we were both quite upset at this and felt it spoilt our stay.

Plussat: lovely clean hotel, big open public spaces

Plussat: the big bed and mirrors

Miinukset: the lifts were a little suspect

Plussat: Spacious lobby, very professional and friendly staff, modern and clean hotel

Plussat: Very new, very contempory, staff friendly and efficient.

Miinukset: Breakfast very expensive at £15 and not worth it.

Plussat: Very helpfull staff, and excellent evening dinner, also liked the unusual design if the hotel and rooms.

Plussat: The hotel is novel with it's jungle theme, proximity to Marwell Zoo and the surrounding woodland and chalet style accommodation. The room was large and comfortable.

Miinukset: The decor was a little tired and the bathroom well-worn. But it was clean.

Plussat: The beds are very comfortable

Miinukset: The bar is extreme;y expensive . It cost over £10 for two drinks

Plussat: Great location and refreshingly different

Miinukset: Although excellent the restaurant is a little pricey.

Plussat: The breakfast was very nice and the decor of the bar area was modern and fitting.

Miinukset: There is no gym, you cannot call an exercise bike and some weights at the side of the swimming pool a gym. The treadmillls were not working and looked like they had not been for a while. Also the golf is not at The hotel, this is very misleading. It's a 10 min drive away at a private golf course, which closed at 5pm. We tried to use the driving range but they would not switch the lights on so had to take the clubs back. Overall a very dissapointing stay at Marwell !!!

Plussat: The comfort of a good hotel with good staff who were efficient, friendly and made me feel at ease - I do not normally use hotels but it was the venue for my daughter's wedding reception

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Hotel staff and manager very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Menu could be changed daily.

Plussat: Friendly staff, well laid out hotel and very good facilities. Excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: lack of choice at the bar in terms of draught drinks , no cider on tap and only one ale. Not a major issue but would of been nice to have a choice instead of tiny bottles of cider at big bottle prices!

Plussat: The staff were friendly and helpful. The decor and cleanliness of the room was acceptable but not exceptional. The standard of food was good but expensive. In summary I would say that we enjoyed our stay but would have expected more for our money

Miinukset:

Plussat: It was very different, close to Winchester but in the country, much nicer than a Holiday Inn and cheaper. Excellent breakfast, snack menu not so good

Miinukset: Room was too hot for comfort

Plussat: Locaton, service, wine and great room service menu.

Miinukset: That we only got to stay for one night and hadn't booked to stay longer!

Plussat: a wounderful place to stay 'excellent

Plussat: beautiful grounds and amazing rooms and bath. very luxurious and accordingly high priced. we were upgraded to a very large suite and it was the largest hotel room (and bath) I ever seen.

Plussat: I thought the whole hotel was fabulous and the room that I stayed in was top class and very luxurious.

Plussat: Attentive staff, nice welcome, excellent organisation of a wedding reception, good food, lovely large quiet room (Poplar), lovely common rooms and magnificent view.

Miinukset: Lighting in room (Poplar) not well planned. Alcoholic drinks expensive.

Plussat: Pleased that they had a separate room for diners in couples, and another for larger - and noisier - parties on a Saturday evening noit long before Christmas. Great bathrooms, lovely sitting room, pleasant bar

Miinukset:

Plussat: Ideal upmarket setting to do business

Miinukset: Some relatively old style rooms

Plussat: beautiful grounds. Roaring log fire in reception.

Miinukset: We felt the evening meal was over priced.

Plussat: Staff were very attentive but not overbearing. Beautiful room.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Setting was lovely. Room was a good size. Staff were very efficient

Miinukset: Given the hotel layout, I would have expected more advance special needs information

Plussat: Reception staff were welcoming, eager to help and efficient. Room was warm. Good reception on tv.

Miinukset: Sign for hotel was not clear and well placed on motorway so I missed the entrance on my first approach and had a long drive back to re-enter the services. Room was clean and all equipment worked well but it was basic for price and in need of refurbishment.

Miinukset: There was no indication in the booking process that this hotel could only be approached from the m3 North. So from Winchester, one had to drive to the next exit at Basingstoke and return to the South carriageway to obtain access. A round trip of 21 miles instead of approximately 6!. This became even more difficult when wishing to proceed onto London which entailed driving down again to Winchester to join to northbound carriageway. In view of this, I only stayed one night and found another hotel with far better access!

Plussat: Staff excellent, early book in request was no problem. Room very quiet considering location. Bathroom could have been cleaned a bit better but overall satisfactory.

Miinukset: Not really

Plussat: Comfort and decor of room.Proximity to the services and motorway.

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: bathroom was not clean, and bed was not good

Plussat: very good food is fab

Plussat: extremely friendly and warm staff

Miinukset: not applicable

Miinukset: No complaints at all

Plussat: Smart rural dining pub with food above normal pub standards

Miinukset: The rooms are up a narrow twisting stair which is awkward with large/heavy cases.

Plussat: Staff were over streached on the Friday evening but sill managed to provied a professional service and a smile. Room was clean and well presented.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, rooms are individual and to a very high standard.

Miinukset: No bad points.

Plussat: Lovely room. Very friendly staff. Excellent service and breakfast

Miinukset: We booked very last minute and they didn't seem to be expecting us. Bar menu fairly plain. Evening food ok but not brilliant.

Plussat: Excellent stay in a well apponted room. Very good food. Ideal for a quiet relaxing stay.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very friendly, good beer.

Plussat: Exceeded all expectations

Miinukset: X

Plussat: Friendly and comfortable

Miinukset: Light bulbs missing in bathroom

Plussat: Lovely traditional pub with great food and excellent rooms.

Plussat: Nice, comfortable room (much better than anything I've had in London). And I liked the food a lot. Chef worked on QE2 for 10 years; it shows. Can't go wrong here.

Plussat: Very friendly and clean. No job was a problem. We were amde very welcome.

Miinukset: I personally would have liked the pub to be in the centre, however, it was only â£5 for a taxi to the main town centre.

Plussat: The room was great, the shower excellent. Great cooked Breakfast :-)

Miinukset:

Plussat: Excellent and attentive staff, very friendly.

Miinukset: Noisy heaing system.

Plussat: A great friendly local pub

Miinukset: The only criticism is that it was so popular that it was a bit noisy before midnite but it only showed that it was frequented by the locals which was nice to see

Plussat: I enjoyed the whole of my stay at the King Alfred Pub. The rooms were clean and new, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and I was pleasantly surprised by the garden - it was a lovely outdoors area including a kid's playground and was lovely to sit in and relax with a drink or two.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: the location, the food and the young lady who served us on Saturday

Plussat: I have stayed here several times and have always had a comfortable and quiet night. The rooms are set around a garden with independent access to each. I do normally stay here in autumn/winter, however, when there are no people sitting outside until late. The food is excellent and good value and the staff have always been helpful. It is a country pub and has a beautiful location not far from Winchester.

Plussat: Chose this hotel as it had a reasonably priced room for 4. Room spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast good and staff helpful.

Plussat: Friendly welcome and comfortable rooms (which are much better inside that they might appear from the outside!). Food is excellent although this is reflected in the price.

Miinukset: Disappointing that no food available after 2pm until the evening session, so hotel guests arriving throughout the day aren't able to get even a sandwich.

Plussat: The friendly staff were always on hand to help. The room was clean and relaxing.

Plussat: Excellent hotel & location. Free parking. Quality restaurant. Whole experience felt unique. Very good staff. Complimentary mini bar.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Excellent hotel in the city centre - lively pub atmosphere and great food. Thought the room that was allocated was outstanding and spotlessly clean

Miinukset: Car park is difficult given the size of the hotel but the staff worked hard to help us throughout the stay so no real issues

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, friendly staff

Miinukset: The common parts of the hotel were a bit "pubby" and not to the same standard as the room or the food

Plussat: Well located near to the Cathederal and the hotel had parking available. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Probably just that bit too expensive

Plussat: Very homely and comfortable bar with friendly staff and a real buzz from the crowded bars.

Plussat: Very comfortable room with nice touches - fresh coffee, milk. Friendly courteous staff, excellent food.

Plussat: Excellent city position.

Miinukset: We were not offered toast at breakfast.First breakfast no butter or marmalade on table no real coffee served .

Plussat: Staff extremely pleasant and helpful.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Personable and helpful staff (all). Eclectic ambience of all public rooms in main building. Dinner and breakfast. No children.

Miinukset: We stayed in the St Georges annex; very comfortable, but lacking in soundproofing - the us guests who arrived back at 04.00 banging doors and generally making a racket will surely forgive me (after 4 hours' sleep) when I got my own back at 08.00 ... May be a tad over-priced.

Plussat: Friendly staff, excellent food, brilliant location due to proximity to the Cathederal.
