I would recommend the castle hotel to everyone. Lovely hotel, great location and the staff were so friendly and helpful. On arrival to the hotel, I went to check in, and found I’d booked the wrong date, I was a week early. Expedia did nothing whatsoever to help me, apart from try to charge me the same price of the room again, to change my booking, even though I spend £1000s through them every year. It was my mistake, but I found Expedias response to the situation very disappointing. However, the lady on reception and someone from the reservations team…. I can’t remember either of their names, did everything they could to help and even got me a refund on the room that I incorrectly booked and I can’t thank them enough. If you ever stay in Windsor, then make sure you stay here

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and important. David took our bags without hesitation, and the young lady on reception was an absolute Oracle for local things. Stanford was perfect as he looked after my parents' needs. Everything was perfect for a wonderful New Year stay. And actually it was our wedding night, so everything was perfect. A lovely hotel with incredible service.Thank you. Garry and Sue

Great location. They were able to accommodate an early check in after a redeye which was much appreciated. Rooms are a bit dated and have a damp smell. While they did notify us they were under renovation, which I appreciated, it would be helpful to other guests if they convey that most rooms are outside the building and you have a bit of a walk to carry them. This includes narrow stairs. We are pretty fit and in our 40s and would have been concerned if our older relatives would have been with us during this part of our trip. It’s a lovely town and we hope to return to see the renovations so we can give it another chance.

Most of hotel under reconstruction but the greed left them let few rooms at the back I booked the hotel for experience including hotel lounge facilities, cafe and sitting areas. All of these ar unavailable Rooms at the back Entrance at the car park On top still charge 30£ for car park and breakfast Rubbish service Not really the castle experience that leisure traveller is hoping for. Holiday in or other 3 star would have given up a bed to tuck in.
