What a lovely experience is the afternoon tea. Friendly attentive service from all staff. Lovely food selection including gluten free. As it is my birthday they went the extra mile offering an extra free drink and plate with small cake with candle and happy birthday written in chocolate

We took my mother (95) and aunt(78) for High Tea, for us all to enjoy an experience that is not had too many times in our life. The staff in the dining room were very friendly and polite, helping both my aunt and mother to the table. The service was very thorough but not over the top. Presentation was excellent but the explanation of each item was missed by the four of us, as it seemed that the explanation had become mundane and the waitress just raced through it without taking a breath. The quality of each item on the plates, and the flavours were excellent. Dining Room experience was very good. However, the process to arrange self-parking leaves a lot to be desired. I’m not sure what happened to the Top Hatted doorman, but the staff at the door, concierge and front desk, definitely need extra training on greeting and farewelling the guests. I was sent from the front desk, to the concierge and back to the front desk to pay my parking. It seemed a lot of new staff were there on the day we were there, and no one really knew how the process was meant to work. Overall, the dining room experience was wonderful but sadly the farewell was not of the same standard. When the doorman says “see ya next time “ you wonder if there was any of the good old fashioned training from days gone by, or if they have came straight from college. One of the expectations of going to The Windsor is the polished point of difference that was experienced in yesteryear.

We recently stayed at the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne, and our experience in the Victorian Suite was nothing short of magical. Celebrating our 5th year anniversary, every moment felt like a dream come true. From the elegant decor to the impeccable service, the Windsor Hotel truly exceeded our expectations.The Victorian Suite itself was a masterpiece, blending timeless charm with modern amenities. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the plush furnishings to the luxurious bedding. We especially loved the spaciousness of the suite, providing us with the perfect setting for relaxation and celebration.

Great heritage hotel. For those who love heritage kind of stuff. Food was good and nice service. But the lift was broken, one was completely out of action, the other was slow and does not come up to level 2 to pick up passenger - so one way up and stairs back down! Room is small but well maintained. The bathroom is very old - would do well with a bit of upgrade.

Iconic hotel with lovely rooms. Lifts are available, but the grand staircase is amazing so we usually used that. Our room was nice and quiet with a very comfortable bed and really good pillows and linen. We loved the traditional decor too. All for a reasonable city centre price. We also had a drink and great bar snacks at the Cricketer's Bar. We'll come again.
