Mercure

Everything was perfect from checking in, using the dining room for dinner and breakfast. Dinner package was good value. Breakfast had a wide variety.

Comfortable, good views and convenient.

I love the big window in the room with a view of the cathedral. Very handy for the town, its facilities and bars/ restaurants.

Buffet breakfast is fine, but no tea/ coffee or eggs made to order.

Tolerable stay but lacks panache and passion

Location

The hotel is way past its best. Compared to mercure Walton Hall - it was poor. The carpets were marked. It’s all a bit neglected.

Excellent location, you can't choose a better view. 2-3 minute walk to the High Street.

Location was fab. It is right beside the cathedral with amazing views. Close to shops. Very central. Has all the amenities. Comfortable & quiet stay.

Needs updating. Parking charge on top of hotel fee which was not clearly indicated on the website.

Interesting value for money Hotel next to the Cathedral.

This hotel is interesting and quite retro - reminds me of the 1970’s/80’s … it’s right next door to the Cathedral, and close to the start of the South Downs Way (My reason for being there) pleasant staff and super breakfast (big buffet) clean rooms. Ok value for money …

Nothing bad but it’s obviously a little tired in places, in need of a general facelift.

Big chain overpriced hotel

Good location in Winchester city centre

Too expensive, room, menu. Ended up eating out for £8. Charged £15 for parking. These hotel chains try to squeeze as much out of you as they can

Would never return

Nothing. The is nothing good to say. From first greeting on arrival, I could tell the staff did not care about my stay.

The room was filthy, with rubbish behind the furniture. The carpet is threadbare. The kettle was filthy, with black growth inside. The furniture was stained and torn and looked like it had been rescued from a skip. The mattress was old and worn out. The bathroom was filthy and just needed a good deep clean. I would question if the room had actually been serviced prior to my stay.

Very good

Pleasant staff, good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Car park had adequate spaces. I think some people had not realised there are two sections to the car park. Would use this hotel again.

Taps wrong way round and not marked. Filled glass and kettle with hot water without realising till washing! Basin cracked but receptionist insists this will be fixed now i have brought it to their attention.

Enjoyable stay right next to the Cathedral

It was very convenient for the city centre. The decor was very dated but the room was comfortable and the extra large bed gave us a great nights sleep. All the staff were friendly and we were able to get into our room before 3pm as it was ready

It is overdue a facelift- the decor is rather dark and dated but this didn’t affect the overall enjoyment of our stay

Pleasant

Room : Comfy bed, good air conditioning, modern TV, great to have a fridge. Breakfast : excellent, plenty of choice. Location : perfect for the City .

Our Cathedral view was blocked by a Lime Tree. Room needs updating, we did notice new carpet being put down in rooms on our floor that is a good sign.

Disappointing.

The staff were extremely helpful. The location was excellent. the size of the room and facilities available. Public spaces were good.

The fittings are old fashioned. and in poor condition. The seat cushions in my friend's room were badly stained. The room was very dark with no central lighting and an out of order side light. The worse thing was the limescale around the bath which was why I marked down for cleanliness. It is such a shame and Mercure should prioritise refurbishment or will use custom. Unfortunately they have lost out on a planned return to Winchester.

Great visit shame about the rooms

Great staff and great location.

The carpet in the bedrooms was threadbare in places and the bedrooms needed updating. Not like other Accor hotels we have stayed at.

The staff were all fabulous, everyone I spoke to was kind, friendly and very efficient, but for the price of the room I

The property was in a great location

It was very shabby, paint stains on the carpet and threshold going into the bathroom, plug holes grimy, dustbin tea tray and lamp, big hole in net curtain, just looked very tired and in need or attention,telephone wasn’t plugged in and couldn’t even find a port for it to plug into.

Perfect hotel to visit winchester

The room is quite large and although the furniture was a bit tired looking, the room itself was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. We very much appreciated the high quality bed linen. The loction is superb, we loved the view of the winchester cathedral. The hotel staff, without fail are welcoming and the buffet breakfast is vast and varied. In fact, rare are the hotels that offer so many milk options for their clients! (Oat milk, soya milk, skim milk, full fat milk...)

The outside of the shower/bath is peeling and a bit off putting...but the tub is spotlessly clean!

Very disappointing stay.

Nothing

Rooms were cold. Heater in sufficient. Bed uncomfortable with a poor quality duvet. Not warm enough for sleeping under. A chair should have been replaced years ago. Well worn. Overall a very uncomfortable one night stay for 4 hotel guests. Not using Mercure again. The reason for our visit was to attend a family funeral. This negative experience was not helpful.

Nice vacation in central Winchester.

Excellent location near the High Street and Winchester Cathedral. We were able to park our car on hotel property, very nice buffet style breakfast. The hotel had an electric heater in the room which kept the room warm.

The room was slightly small for a couple. That's about our only negative.

do not book any special rooms as they are a waste of money executive rooms are well below standard.

LOCATION THAT ALL

This is the email I sent to the Hotel which I have not had any response, they take your money and that's that very poor customer service. 05/03/23 I have just spent one night in your hotel to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary, for which I decided to book an Executive room, which was I would say not worth the money as there was nothing executive about it, the bathroom was in need of an upgrade/makeover, poor paint work, chipped tile, worn bath panel, shower screen edging had not been cleaned, as for the bedroom, nothing special, stains on the wall, and odd light bulbs in the wall lights next to the kettle, and no USB ports to charges up devices. Next breakfast again very poor, had to wait 15 minutes while the hot food counter was topped up, this was not being monitored by the duty staff, so people were lest waiting, the hot drinks area was a mess again not being monitored, and there was no sight of any manager in the restaurant area, I should have gone to The Ivy for breakfast it would have been a far better experience. At check out I was greeted with a thank you, no questions asked if I enjoyed my stay or if everything was satisfactory, not a very good experience. I will give you time to respond before I submit my comments about my stay on Booking.Com website for whom I booked my room through.

Lovely overnight stay with friends

Fabulous location. car park underneath, and another (busy) car park 200 yards away. Amazing view of the cathedral from my room.

My room’s carpet was a bit tired, as is the hotel bar. The car park is not for the faint hearted or for those with very large cars.

Ideal location for everything luckily had car parking which was a bonus large rooms very comfortable good choice at breakfast

Was a good choice at breakfast but most of hot food had become dried out as it was too long in the food warmer

Passable

The location was great for the centre of Winchester

The room was open when we got there, and the corridor smelt as though someone was smoking. The carpet in the bar was torn and dated, when we went the following day, our glasses from the previous night were still on the bar and not cleared away.

Adequate

The location is excellent and the staff are friendly.

The hotel is dated and dirty. Essentially, you're paying for a city centre parking space that comes with a free hotel room.
