“This four-star property occupies prime real estate on the River Thames, positioning guests perfectly for exploring Windsor and Eton. While some rooms may present logistical quirks, the hotel's strongest suit lies in its riverside location, proximity to major attractions and family-friendly environment.

The hotel location is excellent close to the castle. The design of the hotel is classical. Staff is friendly and professional.

The shower was a dribble. The heated towel rail did not work. The bath plug did not hold the water in the bath.
