The Hotel Windsor

Old world charm and sophistication, red carpets and doormen. Really comfortable beds and linen, bathrobes. Gorgeous high windows that let in lots of light, views of government house and gardens across the street. Lovely service, and the personal touches to celebrate a birthday including a card, champagne and cake were a delightful surprise. A few steps to explore beautiful gardens, or enjoy great dining. Easy tram or walk to just about anywhere.

The room was gorgeous and spacious. The view was pretty - right across from the park. The online staff interactions were very nice. The hotel is really pretty with a great location. They surprised us with a room upgrade, bottle of champagne and a nice card for our honeymoon stay! That was a really nice touch. Everything was wonderful, with one exception. The concierge was very helpful with our bags. They stored them safely while we explored the city before our room was ready for check in... then when we went back to the hotel to retreive our bags and check in... they had already put our bags in our room for us. That was so nice and helpful!

Firstly, we have heard so much about The Windsor from my parents who went there a few times when they were young back in the 50s and It lived up to their recollections. A stunning piece of architecture inside and out and considering it's age has stood up well. The staff were brilliant and the location was perfect. The large bed was very comfortable.

This was my second time staying at The Windsor. As a solo female traveller I felt safe and welcome. The customer service is amazing- very welcoming. The air conditioning was a bit loud - especially as it was cycling on and off at temperature. But given the classic age of the property having aircon might be considered a luxury!! I love the classic charm. I like to imagine what it was like at the hotel in its early days. The stair case is grand and the artworks adorning the walls are lovely. And the Orchids!!!!

We were upgraded to a larger room so very happy with that. Bed was two singles pushed together as a King bed. Bed was very comfortable but we both tried all 4 pillows and found them too soft. Location was very close to the Princess theatre which we were attending so that was great.
