Pros:

Large room, great location and friendly staff

Cons:

Didn’t realise that the rooms are above a restaurant and there’s music playing until roughly 11:30 to midnight, would advice bring earplugs if you sleep early

Pleasant stay in Winchester
Pros:

The bedroom and bathroom were beautifully decorated and very spacious. The restaurant below looked inviting, although, due to prior engagements, I did not eat there myself. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Unfortunately, as I am a fairly light sleeper I was disturbed by the traffic along the road nearby and the early morning refuse collection truck.

Disappointing
Pros:

Pleasant large room.

Cons:

Curtains hanging off the pole. Despite reporting this no action to rectify was taken. No kettle despite being listed. Double glazing on only one window and the latch was broken and couldn't be closed. Extremely noisy road noise all night. Booked for 2 nights but left after only one very disturbed night.

Pros:

We love the location and the team at Kyoto
We had a few issues on our most recent visit but they were dealt with swiftly by the team.

Cons:

A little tired in places, but still quite charming. Could benefit from a kettle in the bedroom for the supplied teabags.

Pros:

Perfect location. Big room, needs updating

Cons:

We arrived by train, nowhere to leave cases so walked around in the pouring rain until we could check in.
Extremely noisy as room was on the road side, very noisy from restaurant downstairs too until the early hours, ended up buying ear plugs

Fantastic
Pros:

Beautiful, very spacious room, comfy bed, nice shower, everything was great. The staff were amazing. Do try the restaurant downstairs (if you like Japanese cuisine), it adds to the experience!

Fabulous Location
Pros:

Fabulous location for exploring Winchester. The room was very spacious and had everything you could need for an overnight stay. The stylish DAB radio was a nice touch, we enjoyed listening to music while we had our morning coffee. Would definitely stay again, and we will try out their japanese restaurant next time!

Cons:

Nothing

If you want a perfect stay in Winchester, Kyoto is the place; relax, hang and eat. It well above in quality and service
Pros:

Where to start is difficult, as everything about the stay was wonderful, starting with hotel manager Jason always asking how I was and making sure I was happy. The cleaners were great too, cleaning and refilling coffee while dressed and with the Christmas spirit to ensure the stay was perfect. Then the location is perfect with large car parks with 5 minutes walk, and a 24 hour Londis only 15 minutes walk. The hotel is just of the high street making it convenient for all major spots, not just all the shops and local mall, but also stones throw from the statue of King Alfred and 5 mins across from the great cathedral which is stunning and a must visit for a service. Even the restaurant down stairs serves amazing genuine Japanese food in a beautiful environment, with great service. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with elegant decor and large windows light up the room in the mornings. Soaked in history with dozens of historic sites churches, chapels and museums. Quaint coffee shops and a full spectrum of restaurants, maybe too many fish and ship shop, including Rick Steins place, all just as good as far as tasty food. Many walks and parks and vistas too.

Cons:

Zero to say here!
