The Star Hotel
Staff are excellent throughout, breakfast was excellent however the acvommodation in general is run down and in need of decorating and repair. If only the owners put tbe same effort into the business as their staff do! I shall not be staying there again.

Leonardo Hotel Southampton
The hotel was at one of the cheapest price points within the city for a weekday evening but delivered a good quality spacious room with all the amenities needed. Impressed with the stay given the price, with good location for the city and also a good range of snacks/drinks available for purchase ...

The Winchester Hotel & Spa
Clean rooms, very central for the town. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay in Winchester. Breakfast was good and enjoyed the pool. Although please note children only allowed for 1 hour in the morning which was a bit of a disappointment.
