Kyoto Rooms Winchester

What guests think

Travellers describe Kyoto Rooms Winchester as a centrally located stay above a Japanese restaurant, with spacious, stylish rooms and welcoming staff, making it convenient for exploring Winchester’s sights, shops, and eateries within a short walk.

The Japanese restaurant downstairs receives strong praise from guests. Common downsides include traffic or bin noise due to limited soundproofing, occasionally weak or dropping Wi-Fi, and the absence of breakfast. Overall, it suits travellers seeking a stylish, central base more than a full-service hotel.

Nice room and friendly welcome. Unfortunately zero soundproofing between room 4 and restaurant downstairs. I could hear music and chat so unable to get an early night. It is an old building and very pretty so I guess that comes with the territory.

Very nice place, great location, we had room by the road at the front so it was quite noisy but its an old building so this has to be expected. There is no breakfast and the restaurant was open until about 10:30. As long as you know about this its a great place. Ive stayed in a several places in Winchester and so far this was the best.

This is a smart Japanese restaurant that has rooms above. Pros: the accommodation is very nice - our room was spacious, well maintained, beautifully decorated and warm, despite the single glazed window (due to being in Conservation Area probably). Really great location near High Street, 10 minutes walk from the Cathedral. Cons: as above, the window means noise from outside. Don't offer breakfast. Overall, recommended.

Good location and nice big room, tastefully decorated. However, rather than being a hotel with a restaurant it is really a restaurant with a few rooms to let above. So not actually a full service hotel. My room was right over a roundabout so quite a lot of traffic noise. The liquid soap bottle in the shower was empty - not very convenient when you're wet before you realise. Worst of all, the wi-fi signal was very weak - maybe because it is an old building with thick walls. It kept dropping out and at times could not be detected at all. If I stood up in the middle of the room with my device I eventually found I could usually access it, but not very convenient. Given the necessity of good connectivity for travel these days, that really is not good enough. So, it is a place with good potential but they really need to do better.

Lovely surprise! Our room was large, comfortable, and the decor was beautiful -- the photos do not do it justice. The location is perfect, right at the bottom of high street next to several historic sites and within easy walking distance of everything one would want to see in Winchester. The Japanese restaurant is fantastic. Make reservations as soon as you check in as it is not to be missed.

the room was very clean and spacious, lovely rain shower. check in was easy in the restaurant below and the staff were really helpful. there is a separate door for guests in the rooms so you can let yourself in at any time of day/night. a small outdoor space. car park very close by and reasonably priced. no charge on Sunday. very convenient for walking into town. would definitely stat again if i return to Winchester, which is a fabulous historic town

lovely location perfect for shops, very cozy room and staff friendly enough. the only down side was the terribly slow to non existent wi-fi, make sure you stay on 4g to avoid the frustration!! also there was a nice table lamp that had a 2 pin plug on that had no socket to put in..the promised help with this never arrived, overall though a delightful little hotel and will definitely stay again.
