Old Windsor Holidays from AU$2,282

I booked this last minute when another hotel booking fell through. All I knew was that I liked the area it was in and needed a place to sleep but I was so pleasantly surprised by how nice and cute it was. Highly recommend for solo travelers!

The room itself was excellent, quiet, clean and well cared for. The main restaurant lacked energy or music to entice us to have a meal or even a beverage. We did not appreciate on check out this morning the suggestion of a discretionary gratuity for the staff which equated to $250 CDN for our 7 night stay. The invoice was presented and we declined. No final checkout receipt was received. As well the cc deposit taken on arrival Sept 24 for our 7 night stay of $934,CDN is yet to be returned/ credited to our visa. Disappointing!

2 Adults and 1 Teen. Booked a 1 bedroom suite. Was great for us to have that extra space and privacy. NOTE: The washroom is in the bedroom.....so teen had to sneak to the washroom thr9ough our bedroom in the night. No big deal...just something to be aware of. Nespresso and fridge was great to have. Close the Tube and Bus Stops. 10 min walk to Covent Gardens. Our bed was great, Teens not so much (pull out sofa). Recommend for people looking for the extra space/privacy.

Honestly the extra star is for the staff. They were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. However, this property does not look like the above pictures…anymore. The rooms are dated, with scuff marks, and general wear and tear. The TV was almost hanging off the wall, and the bed was really uncomfortable. We also had issues with the AC, but luckily we had mild weather the whole trip so it wasn’t too bad. For some reason, we were put into an accessible room, which was not great. The room itself was spacious, but the wet room/bathroom was a massive problem. For starters, there is an accessible sink right at the toilet, and for two people over 5’9”, this was a problem (aka we had to sit on the toilet sideways…). But the biggest issue was the shower, which just had a singular drain in the floor. We were there 4 days and I don’t think the floor was ever dry. Plus, with there being no housekeeping, our wet towels (which we had to use to dry the floor) sat in the corner making the whole room smell foul and damp. We thought about asking to change rooms, but after looking on the website I saw that the hotel was full. The area was nice - but a bit of a trek to nearest tube station. Overall, the hotel itself is around 2 and a half stars in my opinion - having stayed at other Locke properties, it definitely wasn’t up to standard.

Truly the best bed we've ever had in a hotel..very centrally located and very friendly staff.
