We have stayed here before and really like it, and will return. The Westgate is in an excellent location and has a really good atmosphere and very good staff. The bed was very comfortable and the room pleasant.
However, our experience this time did have some significant negatives:
There was a lot of noise from the room above (a dog?) which, despite staff following this up, continued into the night and woke us up. 
Instead of the breakfast which is pictured on the publicity, we were informed that it would be a ‘continental’ breakfast. We were not given the opportunity to cancel and were not offered a refund. The meal was nicely presented but on the second morning felt very much like ‘leftovers’. I was not convinced that the pastries were fresh. In addition, no hot drinks were available as the coffee machine wasn’t working and no one seemed able to think of a solution (boil a kettle?!). Again, we were offered no other option than to accept things as they were. 
When booking a double room I do not expect most of the ‘spare’ space to be taken up by a single bed. It meant that there wasn’t room for both of us to sit comfortably in the chairs provided. Also doesn’t look good or feel welcoming!
There was nowhere in the bathroom to put anything: no shelf, cupboard or towel rail other than a small one behind the door. This meant that keeping our towels - perfectly reasonable - was not great as they couldn’t dry properly. Our own toiletries had to go on the floor. I feel this could be so easily resolved!
As I said, I do look forward to returning, but not in that room.

A very friendly and pleasant pub, with some negatives that could easily be resolved.

The Westgate has flourished over the last couple of years. Ben has worked wonders!
I had a very comfortable night recently, and am returning again this week as a result. 

Special thanks to Lily for staying late to greet me and check me in. What an asset to the team!

Highly Recommended!

I stayed at the Westgate whilst working at the Coroner's Court, which is literally across the road (2 minute commute to work - hard to beat that!)

The room was very comfortable and nicely-presented, with an extremely comfortable bed. There were sufficient plug sockets and all the necessary toiletries, towels etc. It was a lovely place for me to work in the evening. A great value stay.

The pub below was welcoming and the food was good quality. Breakfast in the morning was also good although not served in a rush - absolutely fine for leisure travellers but perhaps just a little slow for me with work (but I could have allowed more time). 

Although there is no parking at the Westgate, the Tower multi-storey was literally a 5 minute walk away and this did not pose any problem. In the evening when I arrived there were hundreds of spaces to choose from. 

The location is extremely good for the castle, law courts and coroner's court, plus the local government buildings and registry office. The high street was also walkable. A good location in my view.

My only criticism of this lovely pub with rooms (and one which they can't do much about) is that there was a little bit of noise from rooms above in terms of walking on the floor, and some noise from below when the quiz night was on - but this did not disturb me and I would not hesitate to stay again if I work in that part of the world in the future.

Many thanks for a lovely stay.

Great value and really comfortable

We had an enjoyable stay at the Westgate. It sits in a great position in town, the room was comfortable, and the breakfast very nice, maybe some croissants/pastries could be made available? Some guests could struggle a little with the steep stairs, If you travel to the hotel by car be prepared to pay £17 per day to park locally and have to return to your vehicle daily to top-up the 24 hour ticket. As there are a fair number of hotels in Winchester you'd think the local council could come up with some sort of agreement with the hotels for long term guests?(this is obviously no fault of the hotel). You can't even use any of the 'Park and Rides' as cars can't be left overnight.

Enjoyable stay at the Westgate.

Amazing. I love this place so much. It's not a far walk from the train station so when I got in late at night it was quick to walk to.

The bed was so comfortable. I don't know if I was just jetlagged or what because once I hit that mattress and those pillows, I instantly fell asleep. I was just so cozy. It felt like I was staying in a friend's home. 

The staff was so wonderful. I felt bad, I was just this clueless American hot off the plane and didn't know what was going on. They were so patient, kind, and accommodating. I loved chatting with them. 

The pub downstairs was an experience to behold. This is a pub I would hang out at. I wish I could have stayed longer so that I COULD hang out at the pub more. The breakfast that was included was delicious. I can't speak any better words as to how wonderful my stay at the Westgate was. I just wished I took more pictures of it!

The best place I have ever stayed.

Fab location … but need to get a car park space on street. If you don’t mind a walk to the car this is great !

Fab location

A very handy hotel with great location and surprisingly nice rooms

Great location

Location was great, 5 min walk from the train station, and central for the city attractions.  Ben and the team were really friendly and helpful.  The food we had was good value and tasty.  We stayed in a 'comfy double'which was spacious and comfortable.  The bed was extremely comfortable.  Checkout was at 11am which is helpful.

Great place to stay

Business trip. Nice stay nice pub nice staff although and I booked this B&B on the reviews I read (only the top 4 when viewing) if I had seen more reviews on the fact that they didn't do breakfast unless you book directly with them I would of chosen somewhere else. Also noted when leaving/checking-out the property you do so via the night entrance which the stairs down are very steep and you must be very careful if you have heavy or a large case with you. All that being said I did enjoy my stay.
