I cannot begin to say how disappointed we were with this property. Pictures online are very deceptive. The elevator does not work. The room itself is indescribably ugly. Tiny bathroom but thank goodness the bed was comfortable. People walking on bare floors in the hall and upstairs was a steady annoyance. There is no breakfast. No dining room and even the mini bar was empty but for 2 cans of coke. How can this hotel rate any stars? I guess because it is central? We paid for an upgraded room expecting far more. Looking online, prices were $200 less than what we paid online through Expedia. Why? I would strongly suggest avoiding the Victoria Hotel in Stratford Ontario. I know we will!

The hotel was under maintenance which we did not know, therefore elevators were not in use. Upon residing for the evening, we discovered the bed linens were dirty with hairs, dirt particles and a fly. My husband waited a half hr for staff to return to front desk in which we were given sheets to change ourselves and dirty pillows without covers. In the morning, I was startled to see the bath water coming out brown. The cleaning lady was next to our room, and she kept slamming the door repeatedly every couple seconds. I don’t not understand why she was doing this so often but it was extremely loud and rattled the windows in our room. We will never return to this hotel.

More negatives than positives.

On the plus side, the Windsor Hotel in Stratford is centrally located and is close to the Avon Theatre and numerous restaurants. On the negative side, there is no restaurant, the rooms are not great, our bathroom and shower was from the 1950's, the front desk staff disappeared from the front desk for long periods (more than the stated 30 minutes) and were not available when needed. The hotel also requires full payment one week before your arrival date, not a regular practise for most hotels. I will NOT be staying at the hotel again!

The room is small. No desk for the computer. The TV (ROKU) was unworkable. The location is ideal for walking to restaurants, and the Festival Stage is only about 09. miles away.

Room was nice but not worth the price. You pay for the great location though. Staff weren't unwelcoming, but they were not particularly warm. The welcome email sent a few weeks before arrival indicated that they do special surprises for celebrations. I mentioned my celebration but nothing was done. The rooms themselves have charm but the building itself is pretty plain in the hallways and stairwells. The TV in the room is equipped with Roku, but you need your own logins for streaming channels.

This hotel is a fantastic for Avon theatre and shopping restaurants. Free parking at Copper Lot a 5 min walk but free which is unheard of these days! Only negative was the ice machine was broken which was not the end of the world but pretty standard at a hotel and would have been nice for the stay. The mattress had a bit of a “hill” from wear. So not super comfortable but I slept. Overall I would go back again hoping Reno’s will be completed next year and also to have those suggestions in order. It is a nice overall hotel especially for location.

The tub in the shower kept filing up and the water pressure was full blast. I asked about getting this fixed and told It but it didn’t happen. They also had a sign saying they were remodeling still even after two years ago when this happened. I’m not staying here ever again

Buy the parking pass that the hotel offers. It is worth the price, and you can come and go as you like. The hotel is located in the center of town, and you can walk to all of the best restaurants and the Stratford Festival theatres from there. The hotel also has an excellent elevator (a big plus in an older building). The downsides are the shower can go from a comfortable temperature to scalding in 3 seconds (act fast - this happened more than once to me), the rooms were in need of modernization, and the laminate floors needed a good cleaning.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Pro: The central location is excellent, easy walking distance to the Avon theater, downtown restaurants and shopping. The staff was as accommodating as it could be, given the limitations of the facility. Con: The room and en suite bathroom are small and cramped. Our room had to be accessed by half a flight of stairs. We bought air freshener to combat the musty odors in the room and bathroom. We loaned the air freshener to friends who were in the room next door who were having the same experience.Compared to the Arden Park Hotel or The Parlor, The Windsor Hotel has a long way to go before it can be equal to them. Given the state of the facility the room charges were grotesquely overpriced. Overall not a good experience.

This hotel is in an excellent location. It is within walking distance of great dining and shopping as well as the theatres. It is clean and the decor is nice. The parking was very difficult to get into and out of. The wi-fi was sketchy at best, and non-existent the rest of the time. The bathroom had a sink with 2 separate taps that meant you had to fill the sink to wash your hands as the hot water was too hot to use without mixing with cold. There was absolutely no counterspace in the bathroom and it was very small. If you are a larger person, the toilet would be difficult to access.
