Great Pub in Winchester.
Checking in was a little slow because of IT issues. Everything about the stay exceeded expectations. It is a pub, not a five star hotel. Rate was fair. I’d stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.

Really nice 18th century pub with rooms. Lots of nice amenities, expect ally breakfast in room. Bathroom decent, though the shower had no door! Bed was decent but we find it hard to sleep under a comforter even in the cool Britis summer. Parked two nights right in front of pub. Food was quite good.

Great place to stay!! Room was nice and large and breakfast in the room with coffee and tea are perfect for a pre town walking adventure. The tavern itself offers a wonderful dinner and gorgeous atmosphere. Staff was also funny and hospitable!

The location of the King Alfred was difficult to find on the SatNav, as the turnings in the City were very close together and with the volume of traffic, made the turns difficult to action. Once we got the hang of the turns after 3 times round the block, we found the Pub and were greeted by friendly staff.
The accommodation was good for the price, however, there was no shower or shampoo gel and the breakfast offering was poor. We had to ask for more milk as the amount left for us to have a cuppa AND breakfast was woefully short of what was needed. The staff were very friendly though which helped.

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

Expected more
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.

Xmas break
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.

Cosy rooms above a great pub.
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.

We liked:-
- the very individual character of the pub
- proximity to railway station & city centre
- friendly staff
- good quality food (evening meal).
Not so good :-
- our room had a 'dog' smell, particularly noticeable every time we entered the room.
- the lack of a normal breakfast service - no hot food available, and the 'complimentary' snack breakfast had to be eaten in our room, which did not have a dining table or chairs. Surely a breakfast service, even if only continental, could have been provided in the bar area.

Great room in central location at good price
The King Alfred Pub is in quiet neighbourhood within an easy 10 minute walk from the train station and an easy 15 minute walk from the city centre, the Cathedral and other attractions. It's a charming pub that serves good pub food and we found our room on the floor above the pub quiet, well appointed, comfortable and in all ways comfortable and convenient. Be advised that the pub is not open before noon and you may have trouble checking in or leaving your bags before that time. The housekeeper was there by 8 am and was happy to keep our bags for the rest of the day on the day we checked out. I would stay there again and highly recommend a room at King Alfred to anyone else.
