ChristineUnited States · Mar 22, 2026 10Exceptional
Wonderful two nights
Liked : The location is excellent walking distance within town to restaurants, Windsor Castle and shops- staff is top notch- especially Michael at the desk and the luggage porters are excellent
Disliked : The 7am-10am breakfast buffet was quality foods, but the eggs were overdone and dry sunny side up variety. NO Early check ins but they do hold luggage

AmyUnited States · Mar 10, 2026 9Exceptional
We really did love our stay there. The staff and everyone is so friendly.
Liked : Beautiful property and beautiful rooms and great location. Beautiful view of the castle. Our suite was fabulous.
Disliked : It's very inconvenient not to have a phone in the room to reach the front desk. My United States cell phone can't call inside the UK. One time I had a problem with the bathroom shower and I had to walk down from the fourth floor to the front desk sopping wet to tell them about the shower. Anything I needed I had to go to the front desk to ask because I could not call. They have a QR code for you to get a phone number to call the front desk but my United States cell phone doesn't work in the UK. They should at least have WhatsApp so I can call them through the WhatsApp.

AngelaUnited Kingdom · Dec 8, 2025 9Exceptional
Great hotel in the heart of Windsor
Liked : The gentlemen who look after the car parking are great and give a great welcome to the hotel. The breakfast is not only good, but really quality ingredients. For some reason the chairs are very low ?
Disliked : It did not affect our stay, but the receptionist checking us in was a bit glum and not very welcoming.
