Property was a 15 minute walk to Windsor Castle, shopping & dining. Hotel itself was basic. No safe, no Mimi fridge, no dresser. Not sure if having no wash/face clothes is a British thing or hotel policy.

Great convenient location. Unfortunately the hotel was undergoing works in the main reception area so dining options were limited, however they did contact me to make me aware beforehand and we were able to get a cooked sandwich and continental bag each which did contain a good amount. All staff were friendly and helpful. Worst part was the £15 a night parking.

Myriame

Disliked: Staff & service
I selected this hotel primarily for its breakfast offerings, as I needed a meal before my race. Upon arrival, I was informed that the dining hall was closed for renovations and was asked about my meal preferences. Unbeknownst to me, the renovations were ongoing. All restaurants were closed, reception, seemed like a ghost hotel. I requested a vegan meal, and was assured it would be prepared for me in the morning. However, the next morning upon my arrival downstairs, I discovered that my order had been completely forgotten. With my taxi waiting, I had to leave immediately, receiving only a paper bag with inadequate provisions, which I returned after the race. I had paid a premium for this hotel specifically for the breakfast, which is not complimentary but included in the overall cost. When I sought a refund for the breakfast, I was told it was free and thus not eligible for reimbursement. There were more affordable hotels available that did not include breakfast, which I could have chosen instead. Additionally, the pillows were exceedingly uncomfortable, resulting in a poor night's sleep no breakfast which affected my running performance. Overall, this experience felt like a significant waste of money.

It was impossible to adjust the thermostat in the room. We had to reach out to the reception twice to have this adjusted from their side to be able to sleep. The hotel was under rennovation, so the breakfast was served in a bag (we were informed in advance, so no surprise there). Staff was very helpful and nice overall

Very happy with our 1 night stay at Holiday Inn Windsor. We chose this hotel based on the close distance to legoland but we were pleasantly suprised to be staying in renovated rooms which are very luxurious. Great bedding, large TV, double ensuite rainshower! Lots of space in the rooms plus great additions (hangers, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, amenities). Downside was the limited breakfast options which was due to the renovations but staff were extremely helpful and were happy to swap out items to suit my 3 year old which made him smile. Very happy overall and would definitely stay against!

Excellent - would highly recommend!

Excellent location for the castle, town centre and LegoLand! Easy parking - although you do have to pay £15 for this. The room was bigger than I expected and so clean! The bathroom had a double shower. The breakfast was a grab bag due to renovations but the staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was perfect in there. We did bring our own weetabix and milk etc for our toddler. The only thing that let it down was how uncomfortable the bed was - pillows and mattress were just too hard and firm. It was ok for one night - just a shame as it’s one of the nicest (cheaper) hotels I’ve stayed in.

Little getaway

I was very disappointed as there was no hot breakfast as anticipated on my booking. They are doing refurbishment so had breakfast bags which had stuff we didn't like so had to buy breakfast in the town.Also didn't know that you had to pay for parking which added to more expense .Have previously stayed there without these issues. I think an email about breakfast should have been sent to me Did stay 2 nights and saw the manager to complain

The Expedia booking didn’t state the hotel was being refurbished. No food available at the hotel and didn’t include the full breakfast (offered paper take out bags). No chair to sit on in the room. Probably would have been fine if not for the refurbishment going on.
