This is a very well-known hotel in Melbourne and when I arrived, it was disappointing. The room smelt very old and stale. There was coal or charcoal near the fire pit which was on our carpet and I stepped on a chunk. I personally love the decor of the Victorian era however The furniture inside my Victorian suite was ripped and old. I was expecting nice Chesterfield or at least nice furniture inside .the existing furniture was not well-maintained. One of our chairs were severely ripped through the leather which was unacceptable. The staff were very friendly and had great service but when I checked out they overcharged me and when I tried to explain to them it’s like they didn’t read the email and didn’t understand what I was trying to say. There was a foreign Hair stuck in the bathtub screen door , (it was a long curly hair and I have dead straight Hair ) so you can tell the house cleaning don’t do a really good job. I probably wouldn’t stay here again as there are more affordable cleaner and modern hotels in the city.

What hotels were and should be
In the real heart of the city, is a retreat in time, to when genuine care and attention to a traveler still exists. From the arrival, immediate access to the theatre district, and a breakfast to actually enjoy, it is truly sad to leave.

I would say the Hotel Windsor trades on the back of tradition and was a costly sum for and average room. Furnishings are worn, bathrooms in desperate need of an upgrade with bathroom fittings peeling and worn. The noise form above us room 303 was incredibly loud, like people dragging furniture across the floor.

Air conditioning wasn’t great. Room was warm even though the air conditioning was on. Pillows weren’t great. One was very too much volume and the other had no volume.

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

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.
