I've been to a lot of spas but...
Pros:

Just wow, I feel compelled to write this review after having A spa day with you guys.
I had a package that consisted of use of facilities from 12-4 including a afternoon tea and 50 mins 'rituals' treatment...
The 'check in' at the spa was delightful, I was assigned a comfortable seat of which was also reserved for me for my afternoon tea but this was firstly to just sign some forms. I then was given a short tour and off I went! The spa is small, yes, but it's incredibly clean, tidy and well managed as there was never really more than 4-5 people in it at a time. My afternoon tea was perfect. Everything tasted home made (weather or not it was doesn't matter 🤣) but it was the right amount and delicious.
The treatment, now admittedly I had no idea what a 'rituals'(I think that's what it was called) was, I assumed a massage but it was SO much better. I had a lady with dark hair and my treatment included a full body brush/scrub and a facial and head massage (🥹🫠)
I've come out absolutely radiant and glowing which is exactly why I booked this after a touch few weeks.
I've already told everyone I know and if the deal I got is available next month... I'll be back 🤭

Everything. Friendly, helpful staff
Restaurant- excellent food
Room - air conditioned (superb) , location ( near lift) , comfortable bed, very pleasant

A decent hotel
Pros:

We only stayed for one night, and didn’t have breakfast or use the spa so can’t comment on these aspects. However, our room was clean and the bed was comfy. A decent hotel.

A relief
Pros:

What a relief finding this hotel after fleeing from another hotel in Winchester after 5 minutes. VOCO is quite big, but the atmosphere in the lobby and the restaurant is really good. It's in a very quiet area, so had a great night's sleep. Nice and helpful staff.

Cons:

No complaints.

Mooie plek om Winchester te bezoeken.
Pros:

Mooie entree, hal en restaurant. Lange onpersoonlijke gangen. Prima ruime kamers. Ideale lokatie voor bezoek Winchester.

Cons:

Jammer dat je moet douchen in een glad bad. Echt fout is dat er géén beugel is om zonder gevaar uit bad te stappen!!

Very comfortable.
Pros:

When we arrived, a very welcoming, helpful woman on reception desk. Room was very clean & airy. Air conditioning was on when we entered the room, a thoughtful gesture in this heatwave but room was very chilly & we had to turn it off.

Cons:

Would have been nice to have a low sensor light in the bathroom come on when entering room in middle of the night…turning light switch on in night disturbing. Was pleased, in my sleepy state I didn’t turn main room light on by mistake as switches for bathroom & bedroom next to each other.
