5/5 Excellent
"Attentive, friendly staff, especially in the bar/restaurant area.
Great position for viewing the Castle"
A verified traveler stayed at Castle Hotel Windsor
"An absolute fantastic stay. The staff just couldn’t do anymore to make our stay memorable. The only complaints really is the cost of breakfast & to park. At £24 per person the breakfast was way over priced and with a Wetherspoons literally 2 mins walk away then that’s where I’d be going next time. Also £40 to park the car. Again extremely expensive. Other than that a fantastic hotel a stones throw from the castle and everything Windsor has to offer "

"Lovely stay for a weekend, can imagine in the Summer how enjoyable it must be. Lots of animals to feed, check-in basket is super cute, attention to detail leaving us easter eggs (we went on Easter) in the property and by the hen eggs too! Can’t wait to return this time with friends and their kids."
"Lovely hotel - beautiful rooms and great accessibility however lots of cobbles for wheelchair users at the entrances.
Breakfast was amazing. Lots of choice.
Nespresso coffee maker in the grand double was a big plus.
Bathrooms newly renovated and clean.
Staff were super helpful and friendly.
Would definitely recommend this hotel in the heart of Windsor and right on the river.
One negative was the parking. We paid £15 for 24 hours but there was plenty of other parking available for £5 for 24 hours so a bit of a ripoff to use the hotel parking on the same car park by the station. "
A verified traveler stayed at Sir Christopher Wren Hotel
"It was charming and lovely, just as described, with Windsor Castle very close by. We got there too late for food (after 9 pm) but they gave us ideas for food nearby (The Brasserie was wonderful!). The bed was comfy. Bathroom very small but this was built in 1753 so my expectations were that it would be so. Full English breakfast was amazing and filling. I only wish we didn’t arrive so late due to flight delays. Coffee shop across the street is lovely and friendly! "
