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.

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.

The room was clean and comfortable but no window, so I felt a little trapped. The hotel was fine but it could do with an update for the price.

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.

This is a grand old hotel located across from the Victoria Parliament building. The hotel was charming but lacked some of the modern conveniences available in newer properties. The air conditioners were old and did not adequately cool our suite, which would be a problem during the summer months. However, the hotel is a beautiful property with a wonderful history, and we would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is not updated as to showers as you had to step into a high narrow tub and the water temp was nearly impossible to regulate. The heat/air blew directly on the bed. The service in the restaurant was abysmal. Would recommend a look through the hotel but not a stay with so many excellent hotels in Melbourne.

A beautiful old building with a magnificent staircase. Check in was reasonable. I never like the blocking of $100 on my account incase we use the minibar or other. But then they tell you on check out they have cancelled it and it will take FIVE days for it to be released. So blocked immediately but blocked for five days. not good enough. Room service was a little slow to bring tea and milks
