Property was great but there was a fridge in the room that kept coming on and whirring all night so really hard to get to sleep and one of the windows didn't have curtains so again not great to sleep. I did raise these issues through Expedia but have heard nothing!

Exceeded my expectations, beautiful house and room (Harry) clean, bright, and spacious with very pretty furniture. The bed was super comfortable, slept wonderfully. The street is busy, with cars and people using it all night, nothing loud, just enough background noise to put you to sleep. The other guests were very quiet, only heard a family coming in at 9 and another one leaving at 7:30. Super location, 10 minutes walk from the castle and with a parking lot 50 yards away. Another plus is the Co-op corner store right across the street. I loved it and will definitely use it if I come to Windsor again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We reserved 2 rooms, one was dirty (hadn't been cleaned after the last guest), no one was available to take care of it. We waited about 3 hours to be told we could have access to another room that was half the size. We did not get a credit for the change in rooms. All rooms are very dated and run down. Location was fine, very quiet but a bit of a walk to town (far more than 5 minutes).

Great short break location

Our 2 night stay in William was just what we needed...an extremely comfy bed, constant hot water and a great location. ..river, castle and shops all within easy walking distance. The door code check-in was very convenient and gave flexibility and accessibility at all times.

This was an unusual property - there is no front desk or people there to check you in. It’s also an inconvenient walk from the town center, crossing busy streets.

Very easy check in, property is on a main road opposite a large co op food store and within easy walking distance to the castle and high street. Stayed in Victoria which is a very large room, very clean and comfortable, large fridge which was useful and all the amenities needed for a stay. Quiet within the property. Good value for the area and would stay again. Host was prompt to answer queries and friendly.

To much can go wrong.

With no onsite reception everything is more complicated. You need to receive email with codes to enter. But I received a mail saying I hadn't paid when hotel.com had charged my credit card. 2 days of worries and chats back and forth. Then there was no hot water for two of the 3 nights we were there more worries. They offered a late check out as compensation. Without all that it would be a fine place. Nothing fancy.
