Charm & elegance”
The Hotel Windsor is one of my favourites - I love the charm & elegance of the hotel. I have stayed here before, the room I stayed in this time was a smaller queen size being on my own. Everything was excellent for the price paid - I had a midnight arrival & was still greeted by a lovely host on the front desk. Bed was comfortable however pillows weren't - I was disappointed not to have a pillow menu as that's one of my favourite features, but being late I didn't bother following up. Lovely room, very clean, everything worked. Also did the high tea experience which was excellent & definately worth doing. Would definitely stay here again

Staff warm and welcoming, showed excellent communication skills. Junior suite fabulous as always with the most comfortable bed and everything we needed. Have previously stayed at the Windsor years ago. Highly recommend the afternoon tea which was to die for with beautiful presentation. It was my birthday and the lovely surprise I was given had that special personal touch. Will be back.

Elegant breakfast ! Great start to the day”
We were married in 1978 . Back then we were students and couldn’t afford a grand hotel for our honeymoon . So we finally got the chance to have our second honeymoon - two day stay in The Hotel Windsor . The ambience is wonderful ! The breakfast choices are world class ! Just magnificent ! Recommend this hotel to anyone looking for traditional service including brewed tea in a silver tea pot!

Warm welcome at Hotel Windsor”
My husband and I stayed for a few nights at Hotel Windsor for our honeymoon. The hotel kindly gifted us a bottle of champagne. Throughout our stay, customer service was excellent. We had a beautiful, large room with great views, and we were able to walk or take the tram to everything we wanted to visit. I would stay here again!

Melbourne landmark - highly recommended ”
Loved everything about Hotel Windsor. As you would expect, staff were polite and professional, rooms, décor etc reflected the era in which the hotel was built which was one of the reasons we had always wanted to stay at this iconic Melbourne landmark. For a special occasion I could not fault this establishment and is well deserved of its hotel status and reputation. We will be a return guest and would highly recommend this elegant hotel.

A beautiful grand hotel perfectly restored takes you back to a wonderfully graceful period. Attentive helpful staff are always on hand. The location is ideal to explore Melbourne or hop on a tram or train and travel wherever. Breakfast is superbly delicious. Always a special place to stay.

Old but Quirky ”
We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights and had a wonderful stay. The bed was extra comfy, and the pillows are so fluffy we feel like sleeping on clouds. It’s perfect place to crash after a long day exploring the vibrant city of Melbourne. We stayed at the superior room overlooking Parliament House. Tram stops and train station is only 20ms away. But the room was super quite, gave us a good night and sounded rest. Handy location to eateries since it’s so close to China Town. Also so close to Collin Street if you’re after high end shops. Staff was very polite and friendly, also very helpful. It is a heritage building so everything is preserved. So don’t expect a modern/new facilities that you would find at chain hotels. The TV could use a little update - it has Foxtel - but we were too tired to watch tv after a whole day exploring so it didn’t really matter for us :) If I may make a humble suggestion to the interior of the reception/foyer — the decoration wooden logs/barks on the tables didn’t match with the whole interior theme :) the receptions area need something of a pizazz or dazzling to create an atmosphere :) Thank you for the wonderful stay! We will be back!
