Pros:

Geweldige atmosfeer, helemaal wat je wilt ontmoeten in Engeland, oude pub en heerlijke kamer

Lovely pub with much history. Great location.
Pros:

It was interesting.
The weather was very hot and there was no air conditioning. I tried to check on that and it was never mentioned on their site or your site or my email confirmation. I think that should be an item on the amenities list in case it would affect someone’s health
Also coming from a cruise in France we didn’t also have packed an English converter. The hotel did not have one available. And it was Sunday so by the time we got into our room we were unable to buy one.
My husband depends on his CPAP machine and was unable to use it. It was a very uncomfortable night.
We were exhausted
The food was great. The staff was great and also the city.
But a reminder to include adapters for the country you are in is essential. And they are very bulky.
Thank you

Pros:

La amabilidad del personal, la comida (tanto los desayunos como las cenas), la magnífica ubicación y las instalaciones, incluyendo el plato de ducha, que no es muy frecuente en este tipo de alojamientos.

Historisk og hjemmekoselig pub-hotell.
Pros:

Et fantastisk koselig pub-hotell i hjertet av Winchester. Puben har et historisk sus og ligger i et rolig og nydelig område. Personalet er hyggelige. Spiste både middag og frokost her og alt var delikat og smakfullt. Rommet rent og praktisk med lettvint tilgang til det som må være Winchesters beste pub.

Cons:

Ingenting.
