Properly living on its historic values but making no attempt to grow value. Rooms pretty basic. Shower in small bath. Bed not all that comfortable, and starchy sheets that scratch the skin. Staff just pleasant, but not enthusiastic. Valet parking is problematic when they don’t reserve a spot for guests to pull up out side the hotel (places consumed by taxis and cars belonging to weddings). Not happy, wouldn’t stay here again.

This is a famous iconic Melbourne hotel. The art work in the lobby and dining area is great (Ernest Buckmaster). The room was clean and comfortable. Small, but this is what you would expect from a very old hotel. The room was extremely noisy. The window faced over a laneway and the noise from the trams was very loud until about 2 am, even though the window was shut. I would never stay there again because of the noise. If you must stay there ask for room that does not face into a lane way or road but perhaps faces into the center of the hotel

Disliked: Amenities
Really underwhelming for the price. The building itself is charming, but the room decor is very tired - last updated in the 90s maybe? Furniture scratched and worn, some grot under the glass top of the desk which no one’s bothered to clean. No restaurant for dinner other than a noisy understaffed bar. No pool or gym. The “business centre” is a couple of arm chairs, a grand piano and a single desk. I thought I was going to get a lovely treat but am very disappointed. If you’re looking for a 5 star hotel experience, I’d recommend you go elsewhere.

Convenient location
On the first day, Wednesday, there was no concierge or staff attending the entrance though they did the next two days. Reception staff were friendly and processed check-in and che k-out quickly and pleasantly. A bottle of wine was in our room upon arrival, a part of our gold reward. Evening staff checked out the noises in the Junior Suite emanating from other rooms (think it was airconditioning it was very noisy making sleep difficult) They suggested we speak with day staff and have maintenance che k out the problem. The heating in the room was cold so slept in the robes provided, along with wearing bed socks brought from home. Pillows were wonderful but body ached from the hard mattress. Limited choice of teas so bought own. Purchased coffees when we went out and at breakfast. Dining service staff were efficient and friendly. Food and drinks were delightful. Maintenance required - our room had plaster patch applied in lounge area but not painted. Wingback chairs in passage 2nd floor had leather peeling off the arms. A beautiful heritage building with very dedicated staff, some with considerable longevity as employees. Patrons treasure everything this establishment symbolises and memories from their young years are tied in with their loyalty to the brand.

I love The Windsor and have stayed there over the years and wanted to give my daughter a treat. The room was lovely, I understand that all rooms cannot have a view, but the noise of the air conditioner was too much for me, I did not have a good night's rest. But I will try again as this is the first time that this has happened to me.
