The location was amazing, the breakfast was perfect, the staff were friendly, the room was very quaint and we had a view of the gate into the city. parking was very tight and limited, but the hotel assists with that.

The bar/restaurant was extremely popular and was overly crowded and loud. From our room, we could hear people outside until late, the noise could be drowned out by turning on the tv or playing music, or turning on a fan. Driving to the hotel on the street can be a bit crazy and tight but it is easy to adapt to -.

The Wykeham Arms itself is delightful - full of character and in a great location near to the Cathedral and Old Town but also close to the High Street shops etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and food/drink were excellent. The room (top floor of the annexe) was very comfortable with great facilities (including a bath in the bedroom!).

The bedside lighting could have been more efficient. The tea we made in the room was always undrinkable - whether a combo of tea/water/milk, we weren't sure. The parking arrangements were a bit quaint, but seemed to work as we left the keys at reception - however, a warning of this before our arrival would have been welcome.

Bags of character, absolutely fantastic 3 course dinner, lovely Nelson suite., comfy bed. Staff were affable and sorted parking on site as soon as we arrived.

Breakfast was very tasty, but (small thing but it matters) nobody checked how we were doing or offered a drink top up. We arrived at our table halfway through the 2 hour time slot on Friday morning, so it wasn’t as if we were delaying things. Buffet was higher quality than a chain hotel, but the (single) juice was empty, as was the yoghurt. It’s the small things that you remember. Paint peeling off the en-suite ceiling.

I have stayed here before, and thoroughly enjoyed both occasions. The bar has a wide choice of drinks with some unusual "scholarly" settings. The walls are crammed with an enormous number of framed photos, pictures, sketches and artwork covering a very wide history. The staff are very friendly, the service is very good, as are breakfast and dinner. It is central enough to walk to the centre of this historic town and, of course, the Cathedral.

Be prepared for narrow stairs to access your room in the annexe, but don't let that put you off - this hotel is very good.

The breakfast was very nice. I had avocado eggs tomato 🍅 and cereals with fruit. Tea all very nice. And location is excellent for the town walking distance really. 😊

The bath. Was a roll top bath which is nice but I would preferred a bath with taps at one end instead of the roll top bath with taps in the middle. The taps seam to be in the way as you was in the bath. And water can flow over the top easier , so a fixed bath with no caps would been perfect. Room was nice. Love the thought of the hotel was there since 1755 I belive. 😊

This was our 4th visit to this charming, homely pub/restaurant with rooms in the centre of Winchester. Staying there always makes a short visit to Winchester a special occasion. The staff are friendly, the food/service is outstanding and the rooms are very well appointed and decorated with real style and olde world charm, yet with modern facilities. We will keep coming back.

There was some evidence during this visit that some retrograde policy decisions had been made aimed at better efficiency rather than customer service, particularly during the breakfast service. We commented on this to the staff and I hope this will be reversed for our next visit. It wouldn't stop us going there atm but it could be a slippery slope if continued.

This was our second stay at the Wykeham Arms- first time was 4 years ago. This time didnt disappoint either. We love the charm of the place, the service is great and each staff member makes you feel very welcome. The rooms are spotless and full of character (love the roll top bath!!) Location couldn't be better in Winchester. We used this stay as we had tickets to a show in Southampton, so found it all very easy and seamless to travel back and forth for our evening. We will no doubt be back for a third stay. Oh a breakfast was included in super price and very very yummy.

Nothing, I can only imagine the narrow stairs (being such an old building) wouldn't be ideal for someone with limited mobility. They may have a ground floor option though??

Very helpful and welcoming staff . The English breakfast was excellent . The restaurant is a must .Food really excellent plus the originality of the presentation of the dishes . The staff is very smiling and professional .Excellent service . The waiter explaining the particularity of the wine and telling which wine would be better with the meal .

As it s a wonderful building the stairs were a bit narrow but that was adding to the charm .

Our room was very clean, comfortable and quirky, which is what we like. There was plenty of storage space and room to move around. The shower was easy to operate and perfectly adequate, and plenty of towels and products to use. We love the bar and restaurant, and the food was delicious.

Just a suggestion, but a couple of shelves in the bathroom and shower would be very useful as there was nowhere to put our toiletry bags or our own products/sponge/flannels etc.

Everything was superb, there's not a single thing I could criticise. The room (and the entire building) was beautiful and well-appointed as well as spotlessly clean. It seemed newly refurbished and everything was shiny and working perfectly, with an added bonus of free, top-quality filter coffee and chocolate biscuits. Both the evening meal and breakfast were perfect and the staff accommodated all of my requests without question. Amazing ❤️
