I recently stayed at the Sir Christoper Wren during a recent stop-over in the UK. Windsor is excellently located as it is about 20 minutes away from Heathrow by taxi. I really liked the hotel as it was unique and not your standard homogenized hotel. Finding your way around the hotel with all the stairs and passage ways is a... More

I stayed with my 3 sisters (2 twin rooms, 413 and 416) for a long weekend. We booked well in advance - 6 months - and were able to get a slightly cheaper rate. The hotel is centrally situated and close to the railway station. We were in the annexe over the road up quite a lot of stairs, so... More
