    We would have liked more instructions about how to get to the car park, and what to do once there. Maybe warn people there is scaffolding, as you can't see the name of the hotel easily in the car.

    Location was perfect for what we wanted to do.

    No car parking, but Windsor is a bit of a nightmare for parking. The staff couldn't have been more helpful in getting us to the municipal car parks though.

    Fantastic location, lovely clean and modern hotel. A stones throw from the castle gates and town centre. Breakfast was good. Really nice hotel, I would stay here again. Staff were fantastic and incredibly happy and keen to help

    There was scaffolding covering the whole front of the property, which I was not informed about until the day before arrival. This blocked the views of the castle. The parking system is frustrating. There is an option to park your car underneath the hotel costing £40 per night. Your car key is handed to the concierge who then gives you a ticket at the reception. When you want to take your car out of the garage you have to go to the reception to pick up your keys, then wait for the concierge to meet you down in the garage before you can leave. Twice I needed the car and both times I had to ring reception after waiting for 10 & 15 minutes at the barrier to leave. The room was clean and comfortable, but a little shabby in the bathroom area. Our blind was broken and unusable.

    The location was perfect, opposite Windsor castle, close to the town and The Ivy restaurant.

    No coffee machine in one of the rooms, I would also have liked a larger selection of bathroom toiletries. Could not work the AC at all. Car park is extremely awkward to find, quite stressful actually, but the staff were very helpful.

    The rooms were fine, a little dusty. complimentary water a nice touch. Staff were lovely, very helpful. Location is amazing, literally across the road from the castle.

    Warning of scaffolding over the front of the hotel would have helped. Room not getting cleaned until 4pm and only after twice chasing. Didn't appreciate the concierge taking an Asian lady to task loudly and publicly over confusion with her booking. (The same concierge told me that the hotel have until 5pm to clean the rooms!)

    Location is perfect. Hotel was quite modern inside and the bar staff were friendly.

    The location was excellent Breakfast was very good , there was different choice. To be fair other than the size of the room for two which was. Small it was good I did not get to spend the two nights paid for had to leave to have an eye surgery

    We had difficulty finding the hotel because of the scaffolding that was up at the time.we stayed. One of the rooms we had booked didn't have a second comfortable chair even though it was a double room.

    We were attending an event at Windsor Castle and the location couldn't have been better. The parking was expensive but the concierge was lovely and very flexible about the time when we needed to leave. The breakfast was excellent.

    When we arrived we had to be dropped off at the rear of the building as we were arriving by private car. The confusion arose when we requested help to get our luggage upstairs (we were told the door was locked to the lift, but as it turns out it was not). We waited for 10 minutes when I finally walked thru a retail store next door to get to front entry. Better signage would have been appreciated along with more help.

    Location was excellent!! So close to Windsor Castle! We walked to dinner at The Boatman and it was an easy walk (dinner was superb!).

    Was a little disappointed with the reception staff no way near as helpful as the first time we stayed. But saying that the concierge staff made up for that.

    Property was amazing and clean and nice and central and second time staying and will be definitely staying again. The concierge staff were amazing and very helpful nothing to much trouble for them
