About

The Hotel Windsor

The Hotel Windsor occupies a stately Victorian building on Spring Street, at the 'Paris end' of Melbourne. Its location puts guests within a 5-minute walk of the Old Treasury Building, and the central business district is easy to reach on foot. The hotel has a distinctly old-world feel, with period details, creaking floorboards, and a loyal following among those who appreciate historical character.

The hotel is equipped with a restaurant, bar/lounge, business centre, and 24-hour front desk. Guests can also take advantage of valet parking, laundry services, and a welcome drink on arrival.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Comfort rating is comparatively modest — At 7.3, the comfort score is lower than rooms and service, possibly reflecting older building quirks like creaking floorboards.
  • Value for money may be questioned — With a Value rating of 7.9 and starting price around £292, some guests may find the rates steep for the level of facilities.
