Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great location. They were able to accommodate an early check in after a redeye which was much appreciated. Rooms are a bit dated and have a damp smell. While they did notify us they were under renovation, which I appreciated, it would be helpful to other guests if they convey that most rooms are outside the building and you have a bit of a walk to carry them. This includes narrow stairs. We are pretty fit and in our 40s and would have been concerned if our older relatives would have been with us during this part of our trip. It’s a lovely town and we hope to return to see the renovations so we can give it another chance.

Most of hotel under reconstruction but the greed left them let few rooms at the back I booked the hotel for experience including hotel lounge facilities, cafe and sitting areas. All of these ar unavailable Rooms at the back Entrance at the car park On top still charge 30£ for car park and breakfast Rubbish service Not really the castle experience that leisure traveller is hoping for. Holiday in or other 3 star would have given up a bed to tuck in.

Lovely hotel and a great location. A real shame the hotel was having so much work done on the front and the restaurant . I guess this why it was cheaper than usual.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Castle Hotel! The room was clean and cozy, bed and pillows were very comfortable and the staff was so kind and accommodating. This hotel is in a wonderful location, close to many shops/ pubs and right across the road from Windsor Castle. Highly recommend this hotel.
