Excellent location with large rooms
Pros:

We recently stayed at Hotel Windsor and found the rooms to be large, spacious, and comfortable. The location is excellent, with easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and transport.

Overall, a great location with generous room sizes, but worth considering the potential noise if you’re staying over a weekend.

Cons:

A couple of things to be aware of: the beds were quite springy and may not suit everyone’s preference. Also, there is a pub and rooftop bar directly across the road from our room, with music playing on weekends until around 4am. If you’re a light sleeper, I would definitely recommend bringing earplugs.
