What guests think

Across recent stays at voco Winchester Hotel & Spa by IHG, guests often highlight warm, professional staff and clean, modern public areas, while noting added charges for parking and spa access and occasional service slip-ups or maintenance issues.

Rooms are generally spacious, quiet and comfortable, though a few report temperature-control problems, small or dated bathrooms, or sporadic hot water and early-morning alarm disturbances. Breakfast and dinners are often enjoyed for quality and choice, but some experienced slow or uneven service, average dishes, or minor cleanliness issues. The setting is on the outskirts with easy road access and a nearby bus, so taxis or driving are common as local amenities are limited. Best suited to travellers wanting a quiet base near Winchester rather than a city-centre stay.

Lovely bed and really nice style and openness of hotel. Liked the little gym and food was good. Mg room had an accessible bathroom, which I found a bit awkward as meant I couldn’t stand comfortably in the shower with the shower chair in place, I wondered I could have had a room without the shower chair, but not enough to trouble staff to ask for another room.

Parking charge of £10 is unnecessary and should be included with room booking. Fire alarm went off 3 times as a false alarm which meant going up and down the stairs with luggage and kids as lift stopped working. The room with 2 double beds was spacious and clean The staff are great though. Particularly the lady that was on reception evening of 6 June kind and helpful. The waitress and waiter in the restaurant that evening were great too. Although the restaurant was quite busy they remained polite friendly and helpful a real credit to the hotel did look short staffed for the amount of people dining though. The kitchen team also got out good food in good time too. Thank you

Ok, but be warned the hotel charges for many extras especially if you book through a 3rd party site. Parking £10 per night (now parking charges are completely acceptable if you’re staying in a city centre location but this hotel is not that!). Spa experience reasonable but at £20 per hear for hotel guests not what you would call a bargain.

This is a good, solid option close to Winchester. It is not in or close to town, but it is new, clean and well equipped. The gym for example is excellent by comparison with most. Food offering also above average if pricey. Service uniformly good too. Be a little careful of the stealth pricing though. £10 to park your car overnight is silly, and isn’t obviously advertised on the booking sites.

The hotel practicallywas perfect in every way and particularly of great use for business meetings. The only reason I have not given this five stars is because as a resident of the hotel I’ve not experienced having to pay an additional fee for Spa access before- surely The should come as a pack of staying in the hotel and spending money on food and refreshments etc. On a positive side, the additional free refreshments and nibbles in the room was a welcome addition.

Dirty bathroom with long brown hair left everywhere, blood stain on bath towel, grime & mould around shower screen joints & grouting. Bathroom needs updating. Paid for 3 person breakfast but due to poor communication between reception & restaurant, they only had 2 names on their list. Despite showing screenshot proof of payment, the rude front of house staff refused to help and just told us to go away. Eventually after queuing for 10 mins at Reception, she agreed to come with us to speak to the other staff. No apology from neither the receptionist nor the front of house/breakfast host. Booked parking for 2 vehicles & luckily for another reason, discovered payment was only taken and processed fro only one car. We would’ve received a ticket which would’ve been our fault. The aircon/ventilation system was turned off overnight. The room became hot and very stuffy, we couldn’t sleep.

The smell of foul drainage in the car park and internally in the lobby of hotel is awful. I have stayed here before in the summer and was told by staff it was being sorted. Several months later it is evening worse. The smell lingers in the lobby and was awful. The car park in the evening you literally have to hold your breath as the smell is so bad. Hotel has a major issue and I would not visit again simply due to this issue. Planned on laying in but instead wanted to leave property as soon as possible so was gone by 7.30am

Just a little further out of Winchester than we had anticipated but the taxi service was good. The reception area was bright, comfortable and had a nice relaxing atmosphere with lots of different areas for couples/families to sit and enjoy a drink and/or chat.

Pretty disappointing stay, having booked the suite for a birthday treat , the heating did not work , and the room was uncomfortably cold on arrival and had to request additional portable heaters to get the temperature up. We were offered an alternative room but having paid for the suite we stuck it out with blow heaters and an oil radiator to try and enjoy the suite amenities. Unfortunately the bathroom was not heated , nor did it have a heated towel radiator or any means to inject warmth so was exceptionally uncomfortable using for toilet or shower . It seems it was a known problem with heating as there were additional heating sources in the wardrobe. The receptionist trying to sort the problem was very apologetic and helpful , and gave a couple of drinks vouchers for the bar. Had the heating been on would have been a great treat but -4 outside meant it was not as planned. Breakfast unfortunately followed suit - and was very cool to eat - the lamps keeping it warm were touchable !!! Chef did offer fresh options to his credit , but only certain items were done . Luckily the spa was toasty and warm and lovely service . Maybe we hit a bit of bad luck but I would hope the suite gets some attention and fixed. Up or others will be disappointed. - only 1 suite @ hotel - room 333 .

Terrible service overall. They don’t pick up the phone at reception. They are not willing to help and the check was 1 hour late even though the bedrooms supposed to be ready by 3pm which is the official policy. They knew we have children to feed and sleep for naps.

A bright, modern hotel with a decent food offering. Not easy to control the room temperature (Room 347) but it was fine for me because I don’t like sleeping in a hot room. From Jan 2024 they are going to charge £10 per night to use the car park, which seems like an unnecessary “money grab” and would put me off staying here again. Quiet location but very convenient for the Science Centre.

Still feel it should have been questioned but the kitchen. The bathroom in our room could really do with a grab rail on the outside of the bath/shower, even for us it was a bit of a struggle.

No one was there to greet us and take us to the table we had booked so they knew we were coming. The two cooks said they had no idea where any staff were. Three beers and two wines we asked for were unavailable. We waited and waited and waited for someone to come and bring our meals from the cooking area, listening to the bell constantly ringing to tell staff food was ready but no one came. My daughter offered to go over and carry it to our table herself! In the evening the service was better but the meals were just alright. Nothing was specially good just alright. Such a shame the restaurant didn’t match the quality of the rooms, surroundings etc. Special mention must go to the Receptjon staff who were extremely efficient and friendly
