Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Winchester Hotel By Newmark is often praised for its prime location across from the ocean on the Promenade, with convenient access to a hop-on-hop-off bus stop, making it easy to visit the V&A Waterfront and other attractions. Many guests appreciate the extensive breakfast menu and the food served at the restaurant, with its open Atrium, even though the patio can sometimes be noisy. Guests find the rooms spacious and comfortable, especially those with views of paragliders landing from Signal Hill, however, some rooms facing the central courtyard can be less private.

the location was convenient. Access to attractions, malls, the beach, restaurants and main roads was effortless. My room was comfortable. Breakfast offered an extensive menu.

i was a little disappointed overall. The bathroom still had hair left by previous guests. There was also paint peeling off the bathroom wall, which i found unpleasant.
