Disliked: Amenities
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.

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.

Windsor experience
The Windsor is a place you stay for the ambiance Room service was delivered promptly by a friendly staff member Afternoon tea also a highlight, breakfast as well with attentive staff making sure patrons were well looked after. The only concern was Room needed someone to look up and get rid of the cobwebs on the pelmet and light and clean marks off around power outlet The Windsor has great history attached to the building. I would hope the high standards would continue into the future as this hotel is unique and needs to be preserved

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
