Good value option
Was unsure about booking as it had a low customer rating, however in the whole we were pleasantly surprised. The location is excellent just off the high street and overlooking the cathedral at the back. Parking was fine and there were always spaces during our stay. Our bedroom was a good size and the bed very comfortable. No problem with the bathroom. If we were being picky I’d say the bedroom/ bathroom was a little dated but for what we paid was fine. I have to say the hotel isn’t the most attractive visually. A two story boring block on the outside and very brown on the inside!! But again that wasn’t too important to us. Biggest disappointment was the breakfast. Very limited and basic using the cheapest ingredients. If you wanted mushrooms for example they were a special request which no one told you about! So in summary would stay again but go out for breakfast.

A disappointing weekend at the Winchester Mercure
I took the option to book in on line. On arrival the receptionist could not find this so that was a waste of time. The room was ok a bit shabby and cobwebs above the bed. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. The air conditioning was very noisy. The bar was often unattended as the coffee machine was not working. The toilets in reception are disgusting with the ladies being blocked up. The staff were nice but didn’t seem particularly motivated. This maybe due to their working environment. Would I stay again absolutely not.

Saved by the staff
I want to headline this review by saying that the staff at this hotel - reception, housekeeping and restaurant - without exception were pleasant, attentive, helpful and professional and they alone deserve a high-star rating. Additionally, the hotel is very well located for all the main attractions in Winchester. However ... I must concur with earlier reviewers and say that this is not a 4* hotel. It may well have been when Margo & Jerry Leadbetter stayed there but now it is dingy, tired and worn. The attention to detail in the cleaning of our rooms and the communal areas was poor - the internal telephone in one room (which didn't even work) had a layer of dust that was so thick it was solid. The bathrooms, while basically clean, were so shabby that it almost felt unhygienic. If we hadn't already paid a not insubstantial amount on check-in, we may well at this point have taken our chances with the Travelodge across the road. We took our concerns to the reception staff who immediately did absolutely the right thing and offered us alternative accommodations and eventually an upgrade to 'executive' rooms which, while in slightly better condition, still lacked in cleanliness with a grape found under one bed and an abandoned sock under the other. Two out of four windows had very makeshift mechanisms which left the rooms a bit draughty. I'm sure that this hotel was - and could again be - very nice, but it's clearly a couple of decades overdue for a refurb. A shame.

Alarm!
We stayed here for a weekend in Winchester for the Christmas market. When we arrived in our room we were a little put out by the small bed and the old style of the room, it was a bit like being in the servants quarters! However, we weren't too put off as we had really booked for location. On the first morning we were there an alarm sounded really loudly in the room, after a minute or so it stopped and we didn't think much more, it was probably 10am. The next morning we were woken by the same alarm at about 6.20! Really not ok that early and did not appreciate it. Managed to go back to sleep, only to be woken again! Nothing was said to us as we checked out but hugely disappointed with the alarm situation. 3 times in one weekend, and so early, was really not ok.

Not good
No parking available, bathroom mouldy on shower curtain and tiles with cracked tiles on the floor. Fire alarm went off twice. Able to hear couple in above room having s*x, soundproofing on rooms not good. Reception and bar areas nice but rooms more like 2 star. Would not return and definitely not value for money.

Nice one night stay
Booked a one night stay for birthday trip away, first time in this hotel. Our privilege room was on the top floor with nice view of the cathedral, it was spacious & comfortable the bed was big & particularly comfy & I had a great sleep. Large tv, fridge, good coffee, nice toiletries, robes & slippers all made for a very enjoyable stay. Room was a bit cold on arrival but we plugged in electric heater & it warmed up super quick. I would agree with other reviewers that the hotel it’s self needs a refurb yes paint work was a bit marked & chipped & the window catches were certainly passed their best, the window sill area was all a bit scruffy looking & the table top particularly marked & very much in need of replacement. However the room & bathroom were spotlessly clean so no complaints there from us. Breakfast was a very pleasant experience, good selection of hot & cold food, pastries, cereals, fruit etc the coffee machine takes forever as does the toaster but we weren’t in a hurry so didn’t cause us any issues. All in all a good time was had by us.

Ok stay. But room was not available at 1500 hrs as advertise, but half hour later ( apparently previous guests did not vacate on time ). Given it is an old property, condition is pretty good !

Expensive Stay
Staff friendly, clean room although bathroom needs updating as does the carpet in bar area. Got lucky with the parking to our relief and the close proximity of the hotel to the centre is great. The biggest bug bear of our stay was the price of a bottle of wine at £36.00 that costs £16.00 in Tesco. The cost of the stay was expensive also.
