Stayed here for a long weekend just before Christmas, and booked a "superior" room with en-suite etc. The room (and the pub generally) was full of character, with decent antique furniture, and very clean with a decent bed and bathroom. The room was single-glazed, but the heating worked fine, and any traffic noise tails off at night. Very reasonably-priced too.... More

A beautiful, crisp fall Saturday found us arriving from the nearby rail station to this landmark pub/hotel/inn just across from the ancient “west gate” to the city. The owner/inn keeper could not have been more hospitable and downright cordial. We lodged in the Napoleon room, large, clean and comfortable with “en suite” bath/shower and while the room faces the intersection... More

My wife and I took a 10-day tour through England; visiting Winchester, Salisbury, Bath, Oxford, and London. We both agreed that Westgate was our favorite hotel. We stayed in the General Sir John Moore room which has a direct view to downtown. If you look at the photo of the hotel, it is the room with the large french doors,... More

We stayed for one night after we had a recommendation from the tourist information and we were very impressed. We had called a couple of other places and all of them seems expensive or fully booked so when I rang and the Westgate had a double room in the heart of winchester for £75 including breakfast we were very pleased!!...

We stayed in the Napoleon room. We could see the Westgate to Winchester out of our window. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff is friendly and helpful. the breakfast was always excellent. We stayed for 3 days. We never had any problems. Every morning we had a great breakfast and stepped outside the door to walk into the heart... More

Room was dark, for a very good reason! Everywhere needed a good clean, bathroom was filthy, communal areas looked dirty with threadbare carpets. Kept awake from the room above as you could hear everything from them running a bath to flusing the toilet. Wouldn't reccomend this place or stay there again. The rooms are definatley not worth the money! More

Don’t trust the other reviews here - there’s no way this place merits 4 stars. Yes it’s cheap for the location, but it breaks the basic rule of hospitality - cleanliness. I can handle a little tat here and there but not layers of dust and grime. My brother complained the next morning and the proprietor promptly handed him a... More

Had just one night here and was not too disappointed. Its a great location and friendly staff who try hard to make you welcome. The fact that it is above a pub is not an issue, and the menu in the bar looked excellent, backed by wide range of real ales. The bed was clean and comfortable and the breakfast... More
