The Hotel Windsor is known for its stunning, historic aesthetic, offering guests a unique experience away from the city's hustle while still being conveniently located. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring separate lounges and immaculate bathrooms. The hotel's location provides easy access to transport with trams 86 and 96 stopping nearby for direct access from Southern Cross Station, and tram 35 at the hotel's doorstep; the MCG and other stadiums are also easily accessible. While most find the hotel charming, some have noted that certain common areas appear a bit dated.

underwhelming experience

The room felt a bit neglected. i noticed some wear and tear, like chipped paint and a stain on the carpet. It wasn't the pristine environment i anticipated. also, the promised high-speed internet was unreliable. i struggled to stream videos without constant buffering, a real inconvenience.
