The King Alfred Pub

This traditional pub is located a short distance from the railway station. It is clean with a nice wooden decor. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. It is not loud and has a good vibe. The staff are friendly and give you a sense of meeting friends. The service is quick and attentive. The drinks are good with a wide selection available. The food is plentiful and well-cooked. A perfect pub for socialising and enjoying a wonderful experience.

We had a really enjoyable stay here whilst attending the national hospital radio conference at the University. We were impressed from the very start, the pub is in such a lovely, pretty area and looks charming from the outside. We had a warm welcome despite our arrival being in the middle of a busy Friday night it was no trouble at all. The room was absolutely wonderful and beyond my expectations for a pub. Lovely, cosy decor and the bed was even comfier than a Premier inn and that's saying something!! Lovely touch to have good quality biscuits, tea and coffee on hand and my partner really enjoyed the granola. The bathroom was lovely and clean and a great size, with a lovely powerful shower. Despite some other reviews we were really surprised at how quiet the room was. We are night owls anyways and stayed out until after last orders. It soon quietens down after that so we had two great sleeps. The staff are an absolute credit, making us feel at home and were really friendly and great to have a laugh with. We had two lovely meals as well and some great wines and Thatchers which was very well kept. Pies are awesome and the Sunday roast was something else. 👌 Yes it's not cheap but you certainly get great quality for the price which is appreciated. We would love to come back to Winchester to explore some more and will be sure to stay here again. Thank you. 😊

Lovely pub. Good service and lots of character. Only real negative is a tricky and noisy toilet cistern.

I found the room really uncomfortable, shower room and toilet were dirty. They also offer free breakfast but this only consists of granola, yoghurt & an orange. The most disappointing part of my stay though was that the wifi connection in the room was absolutley awful. The host offered me to book a table down in the restaurant, but i would expect to have a similar wifi reception in my room as i would recieve in the bar.

The hotel was fairly close to the town centre we arrived before the pub was open so couldn't park the car there as you need a on street permit so had to go to the town centre car park. The room was cosy and we had a very nice evening meal we tried their pies, the pub was busy with a good atmosphere only a small criticism was the 10 percentage charge on the bill that put a glass on cheap wine over £9.00.

A hidden gem in Winchester. Cosy room with some nice touches like real coffee and a mini cafetière. Friendly staff, and the pub itself does great food. The TV was damaged and had a line across the middle, which was a bit annoying, but obviously we didn’t book the hotel for the TV! Excellent value and a nice place to use as our base for a few days while visiting family.

Not what it made out to be. Room/Bed size too small. Breakfast not up to what could be expected.

Fabulous location in a very quiet residential area. Literally 5 minute walk into the city centre. Pub is quirky , warm & welcoming. Our room was spacious , very comfortable beds & fabulously clean . We were treated to loads of tea/coffee , yoghurt, delicious granola, muffins & fruit for breakfast..perfect ! Shower was powerful & hot . Wifi good. Not a complaint but rooms now in need of a little TLC . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Came for a few drinks and a meal. Lovely cosy, traditional pub. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Good selection of real ales and a nice French merlot. Good food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
