Comfortable but over priced - found out this was due to it being Windsor horse show
Pros:

Location and cleanliness

Cons:

That I wasnt informed about the works until after I had paid - something the staff told me wouldn’t have been the case had I booked with them direct and not through booking.com
The fact that guest had to pay £30 a day parking!

A warm welcome for our safe and comfortable stay
Pros:

The staff were excellent, with a warm welcome at all encounters. Ready with a brolly when rain threatened too.
A lovely large and quiet double room with a very comfy bed. A walk in shower & lots of hot water.
A good breakfast with staff being flexible and working round the major renovations to provide a good space in the Balmoral Room for breakfast.
The chef had prepared me a special celebratory cake plate for my volunteer award at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, a lovely touch, greatly appreciated.

Cons:

A pity we didn't get to see the main hotel building which was being renovated.

Very nice stay, we will come back after the renovations are finished.
Pros:

Great location. Lovely staff. Perfectly comfortable room. The products in the room were a very high quality and the teas/coffees and fridge items were very nice also. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options.

Cons:

Under renovation which was unfortunate but this didn’t greatly impact our stay.
There was an event on the night we stayed and those guests left the reception toilets in a shocking state (vomit on the floor of the male toilets/unflushed toilets). My husband had to report to reception after breakfast. That wasn’t pleasant.

We'd go back again.
Pros:

Great location with a friendly staff. Close to shops, restaurants, pubs and steps away from Windsor Castle. Be aware the changing of the guard happens Tuesday, Thursday, and ?. If you are arriving by Taxi make sure the company is aware of this as High Street shuts down. The changing of the guard is a great tradition and spectacle that must be seen. The hotel is close to various transportation options and is located in a very walkable neighbourhood. The room was clean, reasonably quiet except for one night and fairly comfortable. The planes that fly overhead enroute to Heathrow do not fly all night. We didn't find them an issue. The people in the room above were an issue.

Cons:

Large reno underway. We didn't get to experience the hotel at it's very best..There were times that the hot water at the sink and shower vanished. Part of the reno? A hotel should not run out of hot water. If you cannot use stairs make sure you get a room that is accessible by lift.

An excellent stay and function. Shame about lack of bar staff early on.
Pros:

The location. The determination of the Staff to work through the problems of the building site!

Cons:

150 guests for pre dinner drinks. TWO barmen. One was very experienced the other whilst working hard had no clue about what was on offer, how to work POS system.

Excellent, we will be staying here again on future visits.
Pros:

The room was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Although the main hotel building was being renovated, we stayed in the newer part of the hotel where the accommodation was excellent. The staff were friendly, professional and very courteous. We are looking forward to seeing how beautiful the completed renovations will be.

Cons:

I wasn't told about the renovations until after I had booked and paid. The car parking was surprisingly expensive.
