“Elegant.”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Really liked this place. Very different to places I would normally stay but it was great for a change. Very old and elegant with an English vibe. Even to the point where I think I may have put on a bit of an accent whilst checking in? Glad I checked in mid afternoon and not late at night after my... More

“welcome to The Windsor”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

When you arrive at the fabulous Windsor you are welcomed as an honoured guest. The building has kept all the charm of a bygone era without losing any of the comfort of what is required for todays lifestyle. The rooms are opulent & spacious - more like staying in a private home of a country mansion. Apples are placed at... More

Dear Ms Kennedy….Jo, That is so good to hear. Thank you for sharing your views with the readers of TripAdvisor.

“Hotel with history”

We stayed at the Windsor as my husband had business meetings nearby. It was easy for me to walk all round the city which I havent visited for over 30 years. Public transport and taxis are readily available but it is so interesting to find city attractions within easy reach. Several theatres and St Patricks Cathedral and Parliament are in... More

Dear Madam, So glad that you both enjoyed your return to Melbourne so much and that we could play some part in that. Hoping that we do not have to wait another 30 years for the pleasure of your company once more. With thanks and kindest regards, David David G.A. Perry Chief Executive Officer More

“The dowager empress of Spring Street”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

The Hotel Windsor is quite a unique combination – museum piece as well as fully functioning luxury hotel.. It certainly fulfills the role of 5-star hotel admirably, especially considering its age (from 1884). Let me say at the outset that due to the hotel's age, you have to accept some compromises. The floorboards will creak. The air con might look... More

“Melbourne gem”

The Windsor is perfect for those that love grandeur and history. It has a elegance that is hard to find elsewhere in Melbourne. We stayed in an Victorian suite which was simply divine luxury at it's best. We enjoyed the room so much it was extremely hard to leave, our suite was very spacious and luxuriously furnished.

I stayed for one night a few weeks ago and could not complain about the room or service I received. I booked a traditional queen room and was upgraded to a king room. I gather this is standard practice when rooms are available. I was met at the door by a doorman, bags taken by the concierge and delivered to... More

“Old world charm - '5 star' a little generous”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

Lovely place, awesome location and staff try hard. The breakfast buffet is solid, however the graceful restaurant it is served in is spectacular. Yes, it has great history and architecture, however it's ageing infrastructure and decor let it down. Any hotel that has to regularly offer rooms at sub $200 AUD knows it's not 5 star and should graceful drop... More

Dear Sir, Thank you for your review. Our Star Rating is not the result of the recent trend in “self-rating” (where did that concept come from by the way?) rather it is official which is almost a rarity these days. That being said our Traditional Rooms are not marketed as our best rather we say they are appropriate for overnight... More

“Olde World but nice”

We enjoyed a free night at the Windsor courtesy of our Amercian Express card. This hotel is indeed one of the old grand hotels of the late 19th century. If you are expecting ultra modern, shiny, bright, fast then this not the hotel for you. The ambience of the place is palpable from the greeting at the portal by the... More

Dear Sir, We really appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to write such an account of your stay.
