Excellent, luxurious and great value.

Really clean, comfortable stay. Self check-in service so didn't encounter a single other person during the stay while I was there. The room was beautiful and very spacious, and there were plenty of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, milk and water in the kitchen. Would highly recommend and will be staying there again next time I'm in Preston!

Everything was perfect.

This accommodation is located within ten-minute walk from the Preston rail station. There is a famous park nearby. Fancy restaurant 'Aven' was also in the hotel. The staff was kind, and everything there was very clean. It has a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and two bathrooms enough for two of us. The most fantastic thing was that the speed of wifi was great. I was happy while staying there.

I was pleasantly surprised how good the property and my apartment was. Admittedly I was unexpectedly upgraded but I imagine the other apartments were equally spotless and comfortable

I had 1 bathroom with bathtub and another with a great shower, toiletries from the white stuff supplied along with a lovely range of tea,coffee and hot choolate and cookies i very much enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back.

Lovely room

The hotel was lovely and clean, sadly it’s not soundproof. The people next door were laughing and talking until the early hours, then they must have left the hotel room at 4 am as I could hear the door open and close!

Great location, great room, would stay again

Great location, great room, cleaned daily, would stay again. Only complaint is room was too hot and supplied fan did not work too well. I am however used to air conditioning so for others who live in the UK this may not be a huge issue. The Chic room was super nice - pnly downside is the windows are in the bathroom which is closed off - so in the room you have no window - I didnt care but some might. Also limited fresh air options to cool down the room.

Everything was excellent, just there was no facial tissues and had to use the toilet paper. Also, when I booked I emailed asking if I could leave my luggage for a couple of hours and was verified it was ok. When I went out for a walk in the park the morning I left, I was informed if I could leave as soon as possible because of cleaning for next guest. If I had know I would have gone out earlier. But overall it was excellent.

Perfect 10/10

Amazing place, would come here again. It’s even better than the pictures which is a first. The rooms are nice and secure. The lodge apartment was very spacious and has all the necessary things you would need in a hotel like an ironing board, iron, kitchen utilities even Netflix on the TV. The rooms were very clean and the self check in and check out service was also amazing. The only thing they could improve on is adding bins in the actual bedrooms and making it more clear where the free parking is. But those are just the most minor changes. I would rate this place a 10/10 and would come back with my family again. Thank you for exceeding my expectations by far the best hotel experience I’ve had.

Very beautiful accommodation, clean and very spacious. Very convenient location. We were not impressed with the staff manager who decided to just open the door without knocking and proceeded to make conversation despite my girlfriend and I being indecent. She insisted that she did knock but thought we had not heard due to her claims that the TV was too loud from watching a series on Netflix at 4pm in the afternoon. She then decided to just push the door open as she also claims it had not been properly shut. It is a fact that the entire premises are fitted with fire doors, therefore the door shuts by itself. She also lied that she had apologized for the imposition and claimed to have poor vision so she could not see that we were in our under garments. It got to a point where we had an exchange in the corridors because she simply refused to acknowledge her violation against us. That ruined an otherwise perfect weekend celebrating my girlfriends birthday.

We wouldn't book again

We have stayed in Winckley Square before but not with Winckley Stays. From the start it was disappointing. We had to walk through the dining room of a restaurant, which is not run by the hotel, to get to our room. We encountered several employees of the restaurant during our stay and they were not friendly or accomodating. We asked for a small amount of ice and were told they weren't part of the hotel so, no. Our room needed attention. The carpet needed to be restretched and deep cleaned. The picture on the wall was broken and the frame had packing tape to hold the corner together which had let go. The base of the bed was fabric which had stains on it. The toilet set was not on tight and during our stay the shower drain backed up and flooded the bathroom. I brought these things to the attention of the hotel and lwt them know we would be out for the day. The picture was fixed as well as the drain and toilet with some Lindt chocolate laft on the table. The room was incredibly small and barely enough room between the shower and wall for the toilet. We wouldn't recommend or stay here again.

Underwhelming Winckley Stay

My expectations were high for the way it was described. Sorry Winckley Stays but Unfortunately underneath the bed had crisps and plastic wrapping not been cleaned fully even though the bed is on legs. The carpets are very tired and lots of spot marks also very wrinkled, the carpet had ripples like it hadn’t been stretched and fitted correctly. The bed was comfy but unfortunately the bedding is PolyCotton not luxurious. I had to fix the blackout blind which couldn’t be opened because the chain break was catching in the roller. The smallest toiletries In The world only enough for one person one shower not adequate for 2 Adults sharing the room. The Kitchenette had no fire protection even though there is a double induction hob and toaster to use. No fire exit information of what to do in case of a fire. Other than this a fairly peaceful sleep.

A great stay! The instructions for the self service access are really clear and whilst we did have an issue with the code for the lockbox with the key room, we called and the concierge on the phone helped us instantly. The apartment itself was superb. We stayed in the 2 bedroom one called The Lodge. Both bedrooms were very large, with excellent ensuite bathrooms. Rainfall showers, really good quality towels and White Company toiletries added a bit of luxury. The beds are huge and very comfortable. And good quality fans in each room which were helpful on a hot evening. The lounge area was a nice size, not big but good enough for a couple of people with a comfy sofa and a good tv in the wall. The small kitchen area just off the lounge was well set up, small fridge, cooker and plenty of cutlery and crockery. Everything you could need. Nice touches like tea, coffee, biscuits, bottled water in the fridge and even a jar of sweets were great. Decor is very smart, one or two little dings but overall it looks and feels great quality. The apartments are in the smarters part of Preston - just off a pretty square and a beautiful park across the road. The apartments share the building with a fantastic fine dining restaurant, Aven. A must eat place for Michelin star standard food. The restaurant will also make and serve you drinks in the evening in a small seated area. Also a great little coffee 'hatch' across the road for breakfast as they do amazing donuts too! 5* stay!
