Situated right in the heart of the city, surrounded by a plethora of restaurants and bars, this Victorian era building has loads of charm and style. The room was, however, modern, well-appointed and very spacious, the high ceilings adding to the feel. The bed was comfortable and four pillows were provided with a range of firmness (from very firm to... More

Stayed here on a work trip recently. A beautiful old hotel in a very convenient location. Breakfast was great, but maybe a little overpriced - but with so many great cafes & restaurants nearby you have plenty of options. I would stay here again.

This is a nice hotel. Our room was huge with a decent bathroom and separate dressing room. We had a room facing the lane way behind the hotel and we found that it was quite noisy with tram bells, general street noise and the bins being emptied around 2am. I would suggest getting a Spring St facing room. The staff... More

I booked to stay at The Hotel Windsor with my 85 year old mother for Mothers Day. A special treat for a gorgeous old lady. She was soooo excited and told all her friends of her upcoming treat. I booked for valet parking so my mother wouldn't have to walk far and high tea so we could enjoy the splendours... More

Package deal for anniversary! Included dinner and breakfast, all meals were beautifully presented and scrumptious. Room was comfortable. Building is a little tired but actually added to the character. Will stay again.

What a fantastic hotel! A great reprieve from the standardised, charmless modern interior of most hotels. They have gone to great lengths to maintain the old decor .... which while a bit garish in places adds an immeasurable charm. We stayed in the Winston Churchill Suite -- complete with dining room and lounge room. Lots of attention to detail with... More

Really liked this place. Very different to places I would normally stay but it was great for a change. Very old and elegant with an English vibe.

When you arrive at the fabulous Windsor you are welcomed as an honoured guest. The building has kept all the charm of a bygone era without losing any of the comfort of what is required for todays lifestyle.
