The character of the property is old world and unique. Most of the staff servicing at breakfast were lovely but one of the young girls at breakfast did not want to be there and was very unhappy looking. She had long pig tails and was not unpleasant but certainly not a good ambassador for the hotel.

Never Again

The Windsor has always been our first choice when in Melbourne. We have loved the old world charm and beaitiful features of this landmark hotel and have always enjoyed our stay. BUT, on our stay last weekend we were sorely disappointed with our room. Apart from being the pokiest, most dismal room we have been ever been allotted it smelled of old cigarette smoke. The smell was so bad that, together with the noisy clanking aircondioner, I was unable to sleep. Finally, we had someone come to unlock the window which improved the air somewhat, but the noise of the trash and bottles being thrown away just under our window was another issue. Sadly, we will be choosing another hotel in future.

1500 checkin but we were not given a room til after 1535. Hotel a "little tired". Dust on coffee table and desk tops. Bathroom clean but a little dingy. Great location if attenfing a show at Princess theatre. No free to air television channels Not a 5 star as it is supposed to be rated. We were given a room upgrade as the room was still not ready by the time they gave us the room.
