    Pros +

    • Perfect location, walking distance to the train and to the center of town
    • Great location and breakfast. Room was comfy, updated and spacious
    • Cool location above a centrally located pub, walking distance to all the sights and the train station. Fantastic included breakfast in the ground floor pub. Nice room. Cozy cot.

    Cons -

    • No aircon, and the stairs are pretty brutal with luggage - steep and narrow. Pack lightly and this is a lovely option!
    • The stairs are a bit narrow when carrying up our bag but manageable
    • The staff were civil and polite but not friendly. If we asked questions they answered but didn’t speak otherwise. We know it was a busy weekend for them but we didn’t feel welcome and that did mar the stay slightly.

    The location was perfect. The room was lovely. Clean but still dusty, but that’s due to the age of the property, dust accumulates so much more quickly in an old property.

    The staff were civil and polite but not friendly. If we asked questions they answered but didn’t speak otherwise. We know it was a busy weekend for them but we didn’t feel welcome and that did mar the stay slightly.

    Great location. Good breakfast. Staff were friendly.

    Narrow Stairs..we had no problem going up the stairs but it was a little difficult with our small luggage.

    Best place for a comfortable sleep after Boomtown! Clean rooms , very warm welcome & great location. Love the fans on the wall as well, perfect for hot days.

    Wish we could have opened the windows/ doors for more air.

    10Robyn M.Posted on: 8-27-2025

    I loved everything about my stay at the Westgate starting from when I walked into the pub where I was greeted by a really friendly lad who helped me get my bags up to my room (on the top floor). My room was delightful with its navy blue walls, cute victorian fireplace, super comfortable bed, view, and little treacle treats in a very pretty glass container (I need to get the recipe). I would definitely stay here again!

    8McLewinPosted on: 8-27-2025

    room was great - very comfy and stylish for a pub with rooms - staff friendly and helpful

    although breakfast was included and a great choice of items, the eggs benedict we chose was very bland - the bread, egg and sauce didn't really have any flavour which was a shame.

    10ChristinaPosted on: 8-27-2025

    Great location and the breakfast was delightful. They had the best pillows of our entire trip.

    7Colleen C.Posted on: 7-13-2025

    Breakfast was good.The room was comfortable.Friendly & helpful staff.The location of the hotel was very central & convenient.

    As the hotel is located next to a busy traffic roundabout, it was noisy, from quite early in the morning.The shower had minimal water pressure, which made it difficult to have a good shower & the shower tap did not turn off properly, which caused it to drip.There was no air conditioner & only a very noisy fan, which made a small difference to the heat & had to be switched off at night, due to the level of noise it created.

    The staff was wonderful. It's an easy walk from Paddington Station, even with luggage.

    Nothing. We were delighted that it had an elevator!

    7LisaPosted on: 6-23-2025

    Charming, quaint, well located, especially for train, nice staff, good value, good breakfast,

    Too warm, no a/c and duvet on bed was lovely thick and fluffy but way too warm. No counter space in bathroom. Hike up the narrow steep stairs to our room was manageable for us but would be tough for many, especially with any kind of luggage.

    7JohnPosted on: 6-18-2025

    The bedroom and bathroom were both sizable, well laid out with quality linen and well stocked toiletries. WiFi was good. The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good.

    The bed itself was too soft/ uncomfortable and there was a very noisy fan. The biggest negative though, for me, was climbing the very narrow, steep stairs to the second floor. Difficult for anyone with mobility issues

    This unique hotel was very close to the railroad station which was handy. It was close to everything else we wantedd to see as well. The breakfast was wonderful. The room was clean and comfortable.

    There were a lot of stairs to climb. If stairs are hard for you try to get a room on a lower floor.

    8VickyPosted on: 4-28-2025

    Location, friendly, food great.

    Bathroom needed maintenance.

    5CarolinePosted on: 4-27-2025

    Comfy bed and clean well decorated room

    Breakfast was either cold or under cooked. Very disappointed, worst I have had.Bar didn't take cash

    10NigelPosted on: 4-23-2025

    Very friendly & warm welcome. Room was very clean & bed extremely comfy. Tea & coffee making facilities were available in the room.

    8IanPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Location is great, only a few minutes walk from the train station, room was comfortable and clean, breakfast was very good, and the staff were all very helpful, will definitely be returning

    The only downside was at breakfast the cleaner was at the bar on her phone with the speaker on talking to the other cleaner about what jobs they had to do, and because it was on speaker the other cleaner was swearing...really not the thing you want to see or hear at breakfast hopefully the can knock that on the head

    8JonathanPosted on: 4-19-2025

    The staff were amazing. Thank you Lily.

    Not being able to open the windows enough and being on the top floor with heavy suitcases.

    9Jo-annePosted on: 4-14-2025

    Location is perfect for walking around Winchester. Very close to the Westgate. Staff friendly.Room had a great view. Bed was comfy.We ate dinner in the pub which was tasty.Breakfast was good too.

    The stairs are steep but that comes with a very old building.
