The hype
The location is 10/10 and the staff are lovely, but the current building works are a major buzzkill for the price.
Castle Hotel Windsor
$150-250 / ليلة
احجز هذا إذا You want to wake up literally across the street from Windsor Castle and don't mind trading a lobby for a construction site in early 2026.
لماذا يحبها الناس
- Unbeatable location directly opposite Windsor Castle Guildhall
- Front-row seats to the Changing of the Guard from street-facing rooms
- Dog-friendly policy that actually welcomes pets (£30/night)
نظرة سريعة: A historic gem currently undergoing a messy £9.5m facelift that closes the main restaurant and reception until late 2026.
تمت المراجعة بواسطة @conciergekate: I felt like actual royalty staying here. My suite was huge with a view right onto the historic High Street, yet it was so quiet inside. The bathtub was the perfect end to a day exploring the castle next door. Truly an elegant escape.

الأسئلة الشائعة والنصائح المخفية
كل ما تحتاج حقًا معرفته قبل الحجز
Is the hotel open during renovations?
Yes, but the main house, bar, and restaurant are closed. Expect a 'rooms only' feel.
Can I see the Changing of the Guard from my room?
Yes, if you book a 'High Street View' or 'Castle View' room, but these are the noisiest.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, specifically in the Park Wing and Superior/Deluxe rooms. Classic rooms in the old house often rely on fans.
How much is parking?
£30 per night. If full, you'll need to use public car parks like Victoria Street.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. £30 per dog/night. They even provide a bed and bowl.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not in the base rate. It costs around £20-£30 and is currently a buffet in a function room.
نصائح حصرية
- ✨
The 'Changing of the Guard' doesn't happen every day (usually Tue/Thu/Sat), so check the schedule before paying extra for a view room.
- ✨
You can get a 10% discount at the 'Strong Vibes' gym or £5 entry to Snap Fitness as a guest.
- ✨
The hotel entrance for cars (Bachelors Acre) is tricky to find; put 'SL4 1ER' in your GPS, not the main address.
5 أشياء يجب معرفتها قبل الذهاب
💡The 'Castle View' often means viewing the castle walls, not the inside grounds.
💡The lift in the main house is tiny and slow (and currently might be inaccessible due to works).
💡Room service is limited during the renovation period.
💡The 'Mews' rooms are essentially in a separate block across a car park—great for privacy, bad for rain.
💡You are literally 2 minutes from the train station, making a car largely unnecessary.
