£10 car parking fee a surprise!
The hotel is clean and comfortable but we were surprised by the £10 parking fee to use the car park behind the hotel. There’s no option as parking on the street is restricted

Do not waste your money here
Claimed they were unable to charge my card remotely, despite my never having had any issues with it before in bookings through Hotels.com and it having plenty funds available. I suspect they may have purposefully keyed in the wrong CVC code to make the transaction decline. Demanded cash and charged me more than the rate I was offered by Hotels.com. I refused to pay cash as this was a business trip but they still charged me more for the privilege of paying by card in person at the hotel. The bed and pillows were not comfortable at all. I was awake all night because the walls were so thin I could hear the conversations of other guests in other rooms on the landing and some guests were playing loud music until 3am which nothing was done about. I would have had a better sleep if I had slept in the street. Absolutely abismal.

Oscars Guest House, Windsor
Was a very run down building with a cluttered hallway (wrapped up bed in the hall). The guy on reception was niice.My double room was very dated, the TV didn't work but the bed was comfy. I've never seen such a small bathroom. I'm not big but I struggled in the shower and small closet sink. My dad had a single room. That was terrible. Very badly decorated and so ismall there was no room for a wardrobe. his bathroom was tiny also. It's not somewhere I would stay again or recommend.

Bed fine, but ensuite very poor
The room was fine and the bed comfortable, however, the ensuite left a lot to be desired. The toilet did not flush properly and the shower was no more than a fine spray.

This is a good value B&B Guest house with off-street parking and about 12 minutes walk to the Castle. It is also very convenient of access from the M4 without having to negotiate the town centre. Continental breakfast was £5 extra which was not entirely clear from the booking process. Would use again.

Stayed here for a 2nd time to compete in an event locally. Convenient location. Impressed by the refurb, looks much better and we were given a very friendly welcome. This is a 2*hotel and you should be realistic about the facilities but we will stay here again

Good staff: Not good hotel.
Warm and helpful staff: But hotel itself mostly dysfunctional. Only a bottom sheet on the beds, and when asked, they seemed OK with that e.g. having a scratchy bedspread as the top sheet (which they called a duvet, but it's not a duvet). WiFi didn't work. What they call a lounge area actually is a storage room for suitcases that you're sitting in. But again, the staff are good and there is free parking in the back.

Very good find
The hotel was in a quiet area and only a 5 min drive to the race course. Parts of the hotel were being redecorated at the time like the breakfast area so food was brought up to the room instead. The staff were very nice and helpful throughout the stay

A good night in Windsor spoilt by a bad hotel room
The shower was boiling hot water. The shower had lose wall tiles and the lower half was covered in black mould spores. The toilet was so close to the sink and radiator that you either banged your leg or burnt your leg. The bed was like a children’s bed. The sheet was not cleaned, it looked someone had slept in the bed with their shoes on. The room heating was so hot that it made you sweaty without moving and there was no adjustment dials to change the temperature. I waited nearly 15 minutes before someone attended the front desk.

perfectly ok place with friendly staff
Nothing great, nothing bad - helpful, friendly staff - the place smells odd although I can't say 'bad', just odd. Clean, comfortable, no frills. I stayed on a weekday and most of the folks staying seemed to be business travelers looking for a cheap-ish place to stay (me included). It fits the bill.

Staying for a business trip down to windsor. Great check in, really friendly service and received a warm welcome. Room was tired and in need of new decor but was fine for one night. For the price i paid i can't complain too much. WiFi was unreliable but owner tried to rectify this. Speedy check-out. All in all it was fine.

You get what you pay for!
We didn't stay longer than the few minutes it took us to notice that the place was not clean. The top cover on the bed being an eiderdown, did not appear to get washed. The double bed headboard was broken and only half the headboard was there! The room smelt awful. The lady at the front desk seemed pleasant.

Guesthouse near the heart of Windsor Castle
I stayed for a week to look for places to live in UK. Location is very good, close to a supermarket, a few pubs and about 15 minutes from town center and 2 train station. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful even by hotel standards! The hotel itself is in an old building and the age shows, which can be quite charming but also a frustration to some guest.

Close Town Centre Location
Location is perfect, parking is available. However the room I stayed in had no heating, the radiator was cold, but they did provide an electric heater that we left on whilst out so that the room resembled room temperature before we went to bed. Quite a few scuffs and marks on the furniture, kettle was on the floor as the cord wouldn't reach the table. Bathroom door didn't close properly. But it was generally ok. When we went to leave the staff had managed to block us in the car park and wouldn't move their car until they had done the bins so had to wait 10 minutes even though there was space to move.

I was a bit apprehensive about our stay having read some of the other reviews. But we found it OK. Yes it is in need of a lot of TLC, but our room was clean and comfortable. So over all, because of location and cost, not bad.
