    Parking expensive and when booking through booking.com the confirmation said £10 of the price was towards parking. Hotel just said this was incorrect and still charged the full £40

    Hotel was in the perfect location, very modern and clean. Good spacious room and bathroom.

    Hotel had a very corporate and generic feel to it, didn’t have a lot of personality which is what I was hoping for.

    Location on the High St was close to everything in Windsor and Eton.

    Price for car park. Although private parking spaces in Windsor are few and far between, felt £40 per night was a bit expensive.

    Lovely clean spacious room. Amazing location and lovely staff! Room was well equipped with tea and coffee, fresh milk was quickly bought to the room when requested. Iron and ironing board in room which is always very handy

    Car parking at hotel was challenging. One day we left our room at 10 am and returned at 5 pm to find room hadn't been made up. It was quickly attended to when we reported this and we were given a free drink in the bar whilst we waited. However,we were looking forward to relaxing in our room after a tiring day.

    Location for us was great.

    We paid for dinner in the hotel on one evening. The waiting staff were not what you'd have expected, especially in view of the price. We had to get their attention for service. A better evening meal at the Ivy (a few doors down) was miles better and significantly cheaper the following evening.

    We changed rooms for a larger room with a sitting area. It was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The room had a view of the castle and a balcony although scaffolding spoilt the view slightly. I was confused as the receptionist told me £90 for the two night upgrade but wanted £200 when I paid!. There was a reasonable choice at Breakfast and it was generally good. Concierge service was excellent.

    Shower leaked over the bath as you used it because the grouting seal around the glass had weathered away so water went onto the floor. The cleanliness of the rooms and standards of this could be much higher. I understand this is a very large hotel and have limited time and staff to clean rooms in between Check ins and outs but as your paying for the Windsor you expect all areas to be sprayed and wiped clean especially in a bathroom. There was mold present in the bathroom imparticularly on the seals of the shower, bath and sink. Fixtures were loose in the room. Not enough usb links on plug sockets.

    Excellent location stones are throw away from Windsor Castle 🏰 . When you enter hotel lobby you are impressed by how grand and welcoming this hotel is. And the aroma! Of scented flowers which was a lovely and calming touch to hotel guests after stressful train journey. The concierge is outstanding in their attentiveness and professional service. Always willing to help. Hotel accommodation was very spacious and tidy, facilities in the room included a hairdryer, TV, mini fridge, iron, ironing board, coffee machine, and a kettle. And to our surprise a bath a massive plus. The restaurant/room menu was very good the food was excellent. Staff were professional, attentive to your needs, very welcoming, and kind. Would highly recommend a visit and stay at the Macdonald Windsor Hotel

    No gym, and the gym recommended was fob pass only so we could not use it. Maybe a partnership arrangement for guests could be arranged.

    Nice hotel, breakfast was very good, we ate away from the hotel in the evenings. A nice few days away. Clean, good size rooms.
