The location, the hotel facilities, the people working there, very helpful, genuine and smiling
Well , our room was very comfortable but one can see it probably needs an update 😌 Bathroom specially sink taps, shower heads and floor l But really We thought it's all ok for what it costs !!
The breakfast had amazing choice to satisfy everyone. They stored our luggage so that we could wander the town before a late flight.
The two for one cocktails during happy hour were not good value.
Great location, right next to the Windsor castle. Big rooms, lovely and helpful staff.
Nothing
Central location
Asked for room to be replenished when the maid was outside the room but wasn’t done had to go to reception and get items ourselves
On site breakfast was excellent
Staffs are very kind and friendly. The room was good and comfortable- the bed was good
Nothing particular
The location of the hotel is splendid! I had stayed there before so got the room I had expected. It is a well-equipped suite which has a balcony overlooking the street and some pageantry!
I have commented before about the inconvenience of the phone system. This further stay has made it feel worse, not better. My earlier comment was: "There are no longer in-room phones. I had to use my mobile phone for in-hotel communications with reception etc. This was repeatedly inconvenient. I found it all rather too strange an "advance"!" So, one has to make an external call to get through to hotel staff / services or other members of one's journeying party.
Excellent location and friendly staff
Very close to everything I wanted to do.
My room wasn't serviced on return at 4pm. Housekeeping knocked my door around 6.30pm, far too late, as I'd already showered.
Emplacement Standing de l’hôtel
Chambre un peu sombre sans vue
4th floor Castle view room, veranda porch overlooked main windsor cobblestone street. Walk everywhere; town shops, Castle, Long walk park, & Eton bridge river area. Close to train station, but we Uber from LHR. Comfy beds, quiet nite, great shower, full buffet breakfast with mass selection! Luggage storage after checkout.
Taxi drop is back cul-de-sac (we had too many bags to use train & no drop at front of hotel) but no bell ring to front desk to access hotel until you get room key. I waited with luggage while hubby walked down alley & up shopping street to access front of building & hotel reception, who then accompanied him down to open back door. Overall great experience!
Location was excellent. Hotel lovely and staff friendly and helpful
Nothing!
Slightly disappointing… it was 9.30 but most of the cooked breakfast was gone and some items weren’t replenished.

Beautiful room, fantastic location

Location is outstanding Breakfast is excellent
Some minor differed maintenance
Prima kamer. uitstekende locatie hotel.
ongezellige receptie en lounge. En ijskoud door airco.
The location was excellent for our visit to the Castle! The room was comfortable and well kept
The breakfast was really limited for vegan choices! Mushrooms and baked beans are not a varied selection and hash browns are not vegan (they are vegetarian). Also a lack of choice for those who don't eat pork products
Excellent location. Pleasant, helpful staff. Very good buffet breakfast. Large, comfortable room with king bed and walk-in shower. Daily cleaning of the room.
Konum çok iyi
Çalışanlar asık suratlı
no breakfast included in my booking, but I stay often and it is wonderful.
I was upgraded, and stayed in The Pearl - totally magic room, thank you!
Great stay at this hotel, location outstanding, staff were very helpful and professional, will go back for definate.
They ciuld have tried to do the beds properly after our first nights stay as it was when it arrived, also replenishing the coffee & milk in the rooms, people may think this is picky, however other hotels I've stayed in do this with pride, appart from the aforementioned it was a great hotel to stay at...!!
Love to stay at the McDonald’s it is right in the heart of Windsor, a stones throw away from the castle. We had a brilliant breakfast , all the stuff are lovely from the guy in the car park to girls on reception would definitely use the McDonald’s again.
There was nothing I didn’t like
Breakfast was very good and efficient. Lifts are very good. Location was excellent
The double beds (which are really large singles) are uncomfortable for two tallish people. I understand what you have tried to do within your refurb limitations BUT you could still increase some of the double bed sizes. Good showers, but not enough support rails! Toilets are far too low. OK for shorter people, but the lowest I have ever seen. The hand basin is also low, although not so much of a problem.
Beautiful hotel in a great location and the staff are amazing!
Additional fee for dogs
Staff were so nice. Hôtel was so clean and breakfast was super
Nothing.
great area, lovely staff and cosy and clean rooms
air con too high in the reception area
ロケーションが素晴らしかった
最初案内された部屋が暗かった。朝食が値段の割には大したことがなかった。肉食ばかりでベジタリアンの私は困りました。
Location excellent
La ubicación, amabilidad del personal, limpieza y desayuno
El colchón de la cama supletoria era muy duro
Great location
The views from rooms are terrible, had to be moved room because the shower was filthy and full of limescale
Lovely modern hotel and location is in the centre of Windsor. Large balcony room with views to castle is fabulous.
Room wasn’t cleaned on 2nd day so no fresh towels or bedding and had to ask for replenishments. Have stayed a number of times previously so a little disappointed due to cost of room. However the hotel concierge was extremely helpful and friendly and would stay again.
Location
Expensive Room service food was not great quality

Beds too small and needed updating Showers leaked badly

Lovely building and location.
The room was dirty with urine around the bottom of the toilet.. lots of dirt Down the sides of the bed side tables.
Location was good
£40 for the car park for one night
Spacious room. Friendly staff.
Looks short-staffed.
Todo perfecto! Estuvimos una noche tras estar en Legoland. Muy buena ubicación, todo limpio, habitación completisima, cama muy cómoda!! Se ve un hotel excelente! Justo delante del Castillo de Windsor, había tiendecitas próximas, y pudimos incluso ver el cambio de guardia que nos pareció muuy bonito
Lo unico el lavabo se bloqueo el tapon y se acumulaba el agua, pero tampoco nos supuso un problema
What a fantastic location, as soon as you step out, Windsor castle is right there. A small walk away is the river where you can feed the ducks and geese. A little shopping street right next door. Many places to eat at just a small walk away. Our rooms where amazing.
Nothing.
Across the road to the castle, a very central location
Nothing, it was lovely!

Un lugar encantador! Excelente ubicación, muy amable el personal Muy limpio. Buen desayuno inglés
Todo me gustó
Decent breakfast and helpful staff.
Location is excellent - right next to the castle and in the bars & shopping area.
Service from majority of staff was pretty rubbish. Exceptionally was the head woman at the restaurant who was good.
Location near castle, shopping and restaurants is excellent.
Valet was very helpful but access to parking garage and parking in stalls is difficult to find and maneuver.
Location and how clean it is
Breakfast is a bit expensive
Location is great, right on the high street.
Parking difficulties, noise morning and evening. The banging doors will not let you sleep
Comfortable staff friendly great location
Nothing
Location, type of room
There seemed to be a smell of Indian food throughout some of the corridors
Comfy bed good location
No telephone in the room. Tea,coffee and sugar not refilled. Different type of power points in room which didn’t fit my adaptor. Hair dryer useless, had to hold push button on it to keep working
Right opposite the castle which was brilliant.
No issues to report.
Great location, friendly staff, very good value for money.
The bathroom needed a bit of TLC and smelt a bit when we arrived but couldn't fault the stay for what we paid.
Very friendly staff parked our car and took our bags to our room
So central, convenient and nice environment
No usb sockets! And quite a palaver to order room service, but food and delivery of same excellent
Freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Schönes Zimmer, reichhaltiges Frühstück. Super Lage.
Am Morgen lange Warteschlange für den Check-Out.
Location of hotel 10 out of 10
Breakfast was cold, people were complaining as nothing being refilled and eventually one item came out The bed was not comfortable no topper so could feel the mattress . The room was warm and when window opened we had extraction tubes outside could hear noise. Hotel looked tired in places Paid £80 for two nights parking
Location is perfect reception is adequate. Room was ok.
Could have been biscuits provided in the room. Carpet was dirty and stained. Only one towel was provided had to ask for another. Room servicing was very late in the afternoon. Breakfast certainly wasn’t good value for money at £24 per person. Waited 10 minutes for fried eggs on day one and poached eggs on day two we’re under cooked (snotty)
check out
check in - breakfast
The staff were very friendly when we were at the actual hotel especially the concierge with the car parking.
Before we arrived, I called the hotel about the car parking who just told me to call back later which I didn’t find very helpful. Also, once I had managed to book the parking, I wasn’t told any directions for the car park nor that I should use a different postcode to the hotel to find it. This made is very stressful for our arrival.
I stayed at the Macdonald Windsor Hotel during a spare weekend on a business trip. The location is excellent - opposite Windsor Castle, a short walk from the train station and surrounded by plenty of places to eat. My room wasn’t large, but it was ideal for a solo traveler. It had enough desk space to catch up on some work, as well as a fridge for drinks and supplies. I also had a charming view of the Crooked House directly across the street. The hotel has an interesting, quirky layout, with several short sets of stairs connecting different levels. It felt as though the hotel may have been formed from several adjoining buildings, which gave it plenty of character.
Nothing significant. I didn’t eat breakfast or dinner at the hotel, as there were many restaurants and cafés nearby.
Used this hotel a few times . Never disappoints
Nothing to mention
The hotel is beautiful and the staff are friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless and was a great location
There was nothing we disliked about our stay
Very good! Always stay here when in Windsor
Centrally located . High standard of decor.
Some dining tables were in what felt like the entrance hallway
Ligging
Het restaurant
Confortável, limpo, bom gosto e tudo funcionando bem.
Falta de ducha higiênica.
Great location. Modern and clean with great curb appeal.
Fantastic location and lovely hotel
Bathrooms need updating
The location is fantastic and despite being in the centre of Windsor, the rooms are quiet. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious.
Nothing not to like! Limited facilities (ie no gym/spa) but it’s a fantastic place for a night or two in Windsor.
The location is absolutely perfect. Bang in the heart of Windsor. Lovely little hotel and the rooms were spot on.
Nothing really.
Lovely hotel and great location
The reception staff were a. It confused and not really on the ball
Friendly helpful staff.
One blind was broken. The shower was too tight to turn on. We had to use a towel.
Rain shower and comfortable beds abd crispy sheets
It’s was a good location, as we were going to Legoland, so wasn’t far to travel for the night.
The location was fabulous being right next to the castle and walking around the city, as well, the guard marched right past the hotel. They also made excellent Espresso Margaritas
It was a little noise at night and couldn't leave the balcony door open. There were also lots of souvener shops around the hotel - which was a good and bad thing, as lots of people were always around.
La ubicación y calidad
The location was excellent. The room was larger than expected. The bed was good.
The bathroom. While a relatively large room, the shower was a problem. It was located in a bath and when you had a shower due to the location of the shower head and the glass not being fixed properly, you had water spraying all over the room.
Everything was amazing. Also, we can do upgrade to our room the Receptionist was kind
Location and the room
Cost of the parking was £40 and so we had to drive around somewhere cheaper. My advice is go to the castle car park as it’s £28 for 24hour parking and 4 min walk from the hotel. Wasn’t a fan of the big stains on the carpet and also the window sash was dangerous for a 4 year old so didn’t attempt to open for fresh air
Excellent location staff very good
The hidden £40 night parking charge
Room 406 beautiful views over castle 🏰 very comfortable and best breakfast will definitely be back 😁
The hotel is situated perfectly amongst everything you need. The castle is literally there. Close to the high street and very near the river. We only stayed 1 night as we went to Windsor races. The room is super comfortable and quiet. The staff are fantastic especially Florence at reception. Would definitely visit again.
The only slight thing i would have changed is the AC there is no instructions how to use it and it was really hot in the room which made it quite stuffy and slightly hard to sleep.
The room was fantastic
Parking fees very expensive

Breakfast. Best to go elsewhere.
Fabulous location, very close to the town center and castle. Nice breakfast especially child free. My son really enjoyed. Great facility especially the adjustable shower unit which adjust to a waterfall-like shower. Spacious room, much more bigger than I thought. Also different selections of tea bags and coffee maker.
Some corner of the room were a bit dusty. The cupboard where the fridge sits in did not look like being cleaned probably as I can see the stain on it. Also the cupboard door may need to be fixed.
Location, location, location! It's just perfectly situated. When you come out of the main entrance the castle is directly opposite - just great! All the local shops and restaurants are within a very short walk and if you go a little further over the Windsor Eaton bridge, you can explore Eton itself, which was very quaint & pretty. Within the hotel itself, we found our rooms to be beautiful, extremely spacious with all the facilities you need. Bed was very comfy and walk-in shower was great! Our rooms were on the third floor and it was ideal to be honest. There was no unwanted noise for the whole duration of our stay. So peaceful and relaxing. Good selection at breakfast. Lovely bar area with plenty of comfortable seating. As a treat, we decided to have the afternoon tea on our second day and it was very filling and delicious. Extra tea/coffee provided should you wish, which was a nice touch. Many places charge for a second pot of tea or another cup of coffee. All of the staff we encountered throughout the hotel were good, very courteous and helpful/accommodating. All in all, very pleased with our stay and we will definitely be returning for another stay! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high class base in the heart of Windsor.
Only issue we experienced, and to be fair it was tiny, was the safe box had been removed from the room prior to our arrival. But everything else was perfect.
Loved the location of the hotel. Windsor castle was just opposite. There are plenty bars and restaurants nearby. The shops were also close.
nothing
Great location Excellent service Clean Great breakfast
Needed new carpet
It was a great hotel in heart of Berkeley. Very quiet, comfortable and staff very professional and friendly.
No parking although booked but couldn't get hold off the team. Found much cheaper parking option by the railway station.

Bed was a little small making it uncomfortable

We were kindly upgraded to a wonderful suite and a great stay. The suite was roomy, great air conditioning, and facilities. Bed was super comfy. It was just me and my daughter and she thought it was the best place she’d ever stayed.
Some parts of the hotel are quite dark due the building being old but huge despite the small Frontage. This can’t be helped.
Very central
I paid for an upgraded room but did not quite get what I paid for!
Great location, friendly staff, great value for money we were pleasantly surprised
