The Winston is basically a pub which serves good food and has a number of rooms attached to it. If you're looking for large hotel type rooms and decor then this isn't for you, however if all you want is a clean bed, wash facilities (some rooms are en-suite, some have a shared wash facilities), at a reasonable price, then...

We were greatly surprised to have a little double roomed chalet, with our own front door and really cute, student style interior. It was basic, but what do you expect for the price (can't stand you people that expect 5 start service from a 3 star establishment) The shower was clean and it was a bit of a shock to... More

I stayed here for three nights. The nearby street gets jammed at the end of the day. Have not used any food or drinks. Was shocked when found dead flies and layers of dust on lamps, under the bed etc. The room was very small and shared bathroom was with mouldy elements - not a great experience ... More

My friends and I walked here from a nearby B & B for dinner. The pub was quaint. We ordered, paid at the bar and were served quickly when our meal was ready. The food was good and reasonably priced. The bar was a neighborhood gathering spot and we enjoyed our meal there. More

The rooms were basic student house-style. Nothing really matched and was obviously badly maintained. Screws missing, grubby walls and carpet. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the beds were comfy, but for he money we paid I'd go elsewhere. More

I would not call The Winston a hotel. On the contrary it was a shabby pub pretending to be a hotel. I was visiting Southampton for my son's graduation and wanted somewhere to stay which was close to the university and not too expensive. On arrival my husband and I were told we would be staying in the "Lodge" thinking... More

I am local to the Winston so have never stayed there but used to eat and drink there regularly. I have had occasion to complain about the service a few times. The first time the owner was not there so I e mailed my complaint when I got home and did not get a reply. I didn't go there again... More

The good: friendly staff, comfortable pub, grounds and dining area, reasonably convenient to bus, coach and rail and city center, attractive setting and building, good food reasonably priced. The bad: wifi did not work (and even working limited to dining room), room a bit shabby, lots of noise from the bar & street, noisy water pipes, carpet & paint could... More

This is a pub and not a hotel, I booked it because it was cheap and we had a budget for the weekend. Never again, the room was a box, the toilet smelt of pee ( room L ) The only saving grace was that the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was pricey at £6 and didn't seem much but did... More
