Loved by Marwell Hotel Winchester South guests
"Loved having the swimming pool and sauna alone."
"It's a lovely quirky 'building' with lots going for it, but we were puzzled as to why they didn't make more of the location and bring in more zoo styled theming."
"I loved the property and how it was designed."

“In my opinion, while this hotel benefits from its proximity to Marwell Zoo and family-friendly focus, some aspects require attention; the wear and tear in rooms and some public areas detracts from the overall experience. However, the staff's attentiveness and convenient location near attractions like Peppa Pig World are definite assets, so there's a real opportunity here.”

I found the staff very friendly and professional. The evening meal at the restaurant was tasty with a nice presentation. I noticed the buffet breakfast was plentiful with good choices.
I found a very slight musty odour, a mixture of air freshener, and something indefinable in the room.
