Elegant old hotel is seeing its age. Could use some brightening up. The original elegance can still be felt. Staf was nice, but could use a bit more training. They look good good if their knowledge and attention to detail was better the hotel would feel better.

Beautiful character building, aging from the 1980s style refurbishment. Not enough staff to run efficiently. Concierge desk often unmanned (required for valet parking) and the amazing high tea is enough of a business income to preclude the requirement to run an evening dinner service in the restaurant. Limited room service menu has to suffice.

Best of old and new Melbourne

The Hotel Windsor represents the stately luxury of old Melbourne, but it’s at the center of modern Melbourne still. We rented a suite, and it was the most luxurious hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Breakfast was fabulous – custom cooked from a menu of great options. The staff were excellent. As we were waiting for our taxi, the porter noticed we were a bit hot and brought us each a bottle of water.

Unfortunately this once prestige hotel is looking neglected & faded. Room service is down to a minimum (4pm-10pm) , no lunch or dinner available- only Cricketers’s bar menu. Breakfast is lack lustre - not a generous buffet, but set individual items. The entire hotel needs a good clean. Grubby curtains and windows, furniture needed a clean too ( cup stains on tables). Ineffective air con , with room too hot over night. Some good , attentive staff ( concierge very pleasant ) , wait staff not so good.
