Giorgi salvó la estancia

Giorgi es una persona sumamente amable y carismática, felicito esa clase de personal. Mi estancia en general fue muy molesta, ya que en la habitación contigua estaba un grupo de adolescentes que a todas horas hicieron demasiado ruido y No dejaban dormir, el colmo fue cuando un día a las 3:00 am tocaron muy fuerte a nuestra puerta, ese día fue terrible, lo reporte pero el ruido continuó, no con la misma intensidad, lo que no me pareció fue al día siguiente la respuesta que nos dieron en cuanto al problema, “eran colleague”

A short walk to the centre. A very comfortable room, superb options for breakfast. Good parking if a little crowded but the day after arrival the car park was quite empty so we moved car to a larger space. The hotel staff were lovely, friendly, helpful & welcoming.

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful, the gentleman on reception was so kind and helpful as we had arrive early. The room had a window which you could open which was great, and beds were really comfortable. The room was supper clean one of the best clean rooms we had stayed in. The breakfast was excellent and plenty of choice. The lady called Jo was lovely and she checked all at breakfast and even checked cups for tea/coffee stains and sent them back to get washed. Super person and always had a smile and chat. xx

I've always been happy with Holiday Inn in America and the UK. Reliable, clean, comfortable, and friendly...this location is no different. PROS: -Reasonable price of $160 for 1 Friday night, especially for this area. -Clean, modern, and decently sized rooms. -Comfortable twin beds with great flat pillows. -AIR CONDITIONING!!! -Large LCD TV -Large clean bathroom -Tea Maker -Reasonably priced parking at £15/night...but there was some free street parking outside. -Friendly staff -Nice lobby area -Walking distance to the main shopping street, especially were the locals actually spend time at(the area close to the castle is very touristy!). CONS: -Easy 15min walk to Windsor Castle if you're in good shape...but if you're in bad shape it's a 20-25min long uphill walk. -I wish parking was free! Highly recommend staying here, very convenient if you had a long tiring 10+ hour to Heathrow and need a nearby place to stay and plan on visiting Windsor Castle.

Chose this for our last night in the UK as an easy access to Heathrow. This hotel was newly renovated and spotless. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice bar and beautiful atrium for enjoying a bite and a brew. Underground parking if you have a car. Easy walk to downtown Windsor, the Thames, and the Castle.

Fantastic stay

Staff were very professional, friendly & accommodating. We were staying here overnight to go to LEGOLAND the next day for our twins birthday. Our van wouldn’t fit in the underground parking so they arranged for us to have a slot outside the hotel which they reserved for us and we paid for on arrival. They put cards, biscuits and balloons for our twins as they knew it was their birthday which was very kind of them. Everyone we spoke to was friendly and kind. It was a ver short walk to Windsor castle and the shops & restaurants. Breakfast was self service buffet plenty of food and was top up continuously, but as per many self service style it’s not mega hit. They had a great little pancake maker machine which the kids loved though.
