Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with extra amenities. The location was perfect, right across from the castle and close to shopping and dining options. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the staff provided excellent service.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms, while not even advertised, were warm and cozy, yet the service was a bit of a letdown with delays in the bar and at breakfast. The unexpected fire alarm incident was unsettling. Overall, I left feeling quite dissatisfied with my experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was very comfortable, especially the superking bed and modern bathroom. The dining experience was delightful, with lovely food and a welcoming atmosphere. The hotel's location, right opposite Windsor Castle, was unbeatable. However, my room had no view and overlooked a brick wall, which was a downside.
The hotel is excellently located, just a short walk from the castle, theater, and a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants. The rooms were spotless and nicely furnished, providing excellent comfort and amenities. However, the lack of space for unpacking luggage is a bit inconvenient. The service was generally friendly and helpful, though interactions varied. The dining experience offered a fantastic buffet but lacked adequate seating. The facilities were overall satisfying, and the value for money was fair considering the great location.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic, quiet, and beautifully decorated, offering a super comfortable bed and modern bathroom. However, some areas like the lift and corridor carpets were not in the best condition. The dining experience was a mix of lovely bar meals and a disappointing restaurant dinner. The breakfast was well set out and delicious. The location couldn't be better, right opposite the castle with convenient access to shops and restaurants, but the hotel was in a separate wing. Overall, I rate this hotel a 9/10.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in the heart of Windsor. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, providing a cool retreat from the heat outside. The dining experience was delightful, and the hotel's central location made exploring the town a breeze. However, the onsite parking fee was a downside.
The hotel is ideally located near Windsor Castle, the market, and the station, making it very convenient for those without transportation. The rooms, though slightly tired and on a slope, were still comfortable, warm, and spacious. The service was excellent, with friendly and accommodating staff offering assistance and making guests feel welcome. The dining experience, while pleasant, may not justify the £20 price tag. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained and provide a comfortable stay at good value.
The hotel's Junior Suite was extremely comfortable despite the ongoing refurbishment with scaffolding outside. Lacked amenities and had minimal toiletries provided, with only a tiny shampoo and conditioner. The service was fantastic, especially from staff members Bruno and Adrian. The location is perfect, being central to Windsor's major attractions, although parking fees were deemed high. Dining offered excellent variety, especially during breakfast, and the facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
The hotel offered a mixed experience with clean and quiet rooms, but a rather basic and cold ambiance upon arrival. The service was attentive and friendly starting from check-in. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions, but a bit disappointing with the presence of too many American franchises. The dining experience was satisfactory with a variety of food options available.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and tidy, were not the quietest due to noise from planes and next door. On the bright side, the service was excellent with friendly and kind staff. The location was fantastic, right across from the castle, offering great convenience. However, the dining experience, although available at an extra cost, was not the most impressive. Overall, a decent stay with its ups and downs.
