Stayed for just the one night for a theatre break celebrating our wedding anniversary. Easy check in, loyalty recognition was appreciated. Good location, just 15-20 mins walk from town.  …

10 min walk out of the main town but we'll worth the price we paid. The rooms were immaculate and service absolutely top. Arrived well before the room was ready but still able to use the car park which was substantially cheaper than parking in town. Got back late to find the bar open until 2am. Drinks prices good and service from the night porter excellent. Despite checking out we were allowed to keep the car in the car park until we returned from a visit to the castle, such exceptional service. Make this your first choice for staying in Windsor.

This hotel was perfect for our needs. Exhausted after a long flight, it was a short taxi ride from the hotel. They let us check in about a half hour early.|| Beds and pillows were comfortable. Hotel offers an amazing free breakfast.  …

A very basic hotel, good enough for short stays. Location is good, although outside the centre of Windsor, which is a 15 minutes walk away. Rooms are reasonable, beds are adequate. Bathrooms are good, but beware of very low water pressure in the shower. Therefore showering takes a very long time, which is inconvenient. Breakfast is a standard English breakfast buffet, which is sufficient but not special. The lobby is very small, seating is minimal. Washrooms are dirty and hardly cleaned, which is unhygienic. There is limited car parking in the basement, which is convenient when driving. Staff is basic courteous but not engaging. Overall, not a recommended hotel. 2 stars max.

A great hotel in fantastic location in Windsor. Really clean, newly furnished room, quiet, air conditioning with iron, hairdryer, tea & coffee. Carpark at £15 overnight is a bonus. Staff are so helpful, especially Hali who could not of been more welcoming.

We arrived unexpectedly and at a very late hour. The young man on hand was very helpful and non judgemental when helping us acquire a room. The room was clean with ample towels and a good shower. The breakfast was abundant and of good quality. For the price I would stay again.

Absolutely fantastic Hotel.Staff are friendly and welcome you each time you pass reception, room was tidy and daily fresh bedding. Lovely breakfast each morning, and the pizzas and curry are fantastic. 👌Wish I could have brought the bathroom back home with me, but sadly had to leave it behind. Will 100% return for another holiday in Windsor next year, hope to see you all on our return. 😃Also thanks to the kind gentlemen who found my mobile phone sitting outside the hotel and handed it into reception, complete lifesaver!!Thanks again to all the staff who made our holiday one to remember.Mat, Jen and Mikes(Fae Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

Last minute short break to Legoland and Windsor, the hotel was impeccable for our needs. Modern, clean, functional, friendly staff. A nice breakfast buffet and on site parking too. Everything was pretty minimalist but there was no clutter and the important basic stuff was done really well.
