The Black Hole

While this hotel is very central for exploring Winchester, the bathroom facilities let it down. We were in the ground floor room (be warned a bit noisy from the road, the reception and the 'buffalo' above); and while I accept the bathroom had been designed to cater for disability access, it was awful! The sink was so tiny and had a glass shelf right above it... so to spit out toothpaste you needed extreme precision, or just spat on your own feet, and it was impossible to wash your face or shave at the sink. The walk-in shower simply flowed towards the bedroom, so that the whole bathroom was filled with water after just a quick shower, and we needed to use towels like sandbags to stop it flowing onto the bedroom carpet. SEE PHOTOS. The toilet seat rotated and the toiletries were a little meagre for x2 people sharing a room. Staff were very welcoming, and I liked to tea facilities in the dining area. Just please someone, re-fit that bathroom!

Excellent. Car parking is nearby. Only a one minute walk into Winchester centre. Breakfast was brilliant and the dining room is open all day and night so you can help yourself to hot drinks and snacks. Lady on the desk was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again when we next visit Winchester

Well located and comfortable cell. Scrupulously clean with comfortable wide bed. No parking on site but nearby multi storey. Excellent home cooked breakfast with cereals and toast options. Unlimited supply of teas and coffees in downstairs dining room but no tea/coffee facilities in rooms. Very reasonably priced as so close to city centre’s shops and restaurants. Would recommend.
