It was ok for a night stop off, but the bathroom was not very clean, dirt and timescale around the taps bath wasn't cleaned properly, hotel was a little bit shabby, all the glass windows needed a good clean. Dirt, and cobwebs inside and out. Chairs in the dinning hall were really dirty, not the right kind of chair to have with children. All bedding and towels very clean. Staff very helpful.

Had a lovely day out at the nearby zoo and this hotel was very convenient to be able to stay close by and enjoy a mini break. The staff and service was brilliant and really friendly. The hotel is a little tired in places but the room was clean, tidy and comfortable. Disappointed that the swimming pool was closed during our stay but it didn't affect our overall experience. Food in the restaurant was lovely and breakfast was also really good with lots to choose from. Would recommend

Relaxing long weekend.

This is our second stay at the Marwell Hotel Winchester. Even with a wedding in the main building, there was no noise in the rooms - superb planning :-) a 10 minute drive into Winchester, plenty of parking without any issues, a lovely pool for a morning swim. Friendly helpful staff.

We really wanted to like this property but it really needs care and attention. I appreciate the property is old but it was looking very tired and worn out. The carpets in the communal areas looked tired as did the decor. Unfortunately are room was not as clean as one would expect, particularly for the price paid. Hair on the floor in the bathroom and the carpet could have done with a deep clean. The mattress on the bed was old too. The fried eggs in the breakfast buffet were also cold. At check out we pointed out the issues with the room and that in general the property could do with some love. They heard our concerns but I felt our feedback wasn't going to go anywhere or help to make change. Perhaps the staff are resigned to how the property is which is a shame as it wouldn't take much to improve things a lot.
