Lovely staff. Very clean establishment and generally quite a nice experience. Water temperature would often suddenly become too hot. room temperature did not change despite attempts. I think these two things could be an issue with the building’s age but I’m not sure. Foxtel cast function didn’t work on TV. Room service was prompt and always had a nice staff member. Food quality varied (chocolate fondant dessert was really nice) but I’d say 6/10.

Have stayed at The Hotel Windsor for over forty years - this visit was probably my last. Condition of room (214) was OK - paint peeling in some areas and the safety chain on the door wasn't functioning as the fitting on the door frame was absent. It took two attempts to get the safety chain fixed (my first request wasn't referrred to Building Maintenance), then around 4pm on Thursday 15 January when I was topless in my room my privacy was disturbed when a male member of staff barrelled into my room - DESPITE THE "DO NOT DISTURB" SIGN BEING ON. He entered with such force that the newly fixed safety chain was once again torn from its mounting on the doorframe. The matter was immediately reported to the duty manager who investigated the matter (apparently the staff member was "new", "in a hurry" and "had meant to access Room 216" and offered me three complimentary breakfasts for having my nerves shredded by the unnecessary intrusion. I have another stay booked at The Hotel Windsor for June this year (the visit was booked months ago), but I am now actively looking for alternate accommodation as, quite frankly, I no longer consider the hotel to be a safe venue.

Very disappointed to not have my Expedia VIP status not recognised at check in, and once informing the front desk staff and inquiring about our complimentary bottle of wine was treated with complete disdain. Never received the wine and the experience tainted the 3 day stay. Only booked the very dated hotel as it claimed to be part of Expedia’s VIP program.

Very underwhelming From the doorman, concierge to front desk unhelpful unknowlegable The doorman was to busy talking to a friend while he had a coffee to even acknowledge our arrive., His attire was sloppy and unprofessional. Front Dresk, arrived around 2, room would be ready till 3 was told there was no where to have a cup of tea or sit and just relax, had no idea where we get tea that was close to the hotel. At least 6 - 10 people after us rooms were available. When our room was finally available up we go waiting for our bags finally I had to ring and ask for them. Breakfast for 2, black tea and toast, eggs Benedict and an orange juice, I'm still waiting for the orange juice. There was only about 8 tables occupied. 20 minutes to get our car on leaving, if we should have of been told it would take this long on check in and we could have rung ahead. This just a small summary. Silicone around the bath had mould spots. Absolutely no way 5 star hotel or experience/ service. I had been a number of year ago and it was sad to experience how far The Windsor Hotel has fallen in condition and staff professionalism. Over all experience poor definitely won't be back.
