4 of us stayed for the week - end.Stayed in rooms 49,50, these were dark but clean.
Amazing walkin shower room.
The bar is rather antiquanted but in keeping with the High St.
Staff were very friendly.
The breakfast in the morning was excellent.
Can understand why people staying during the week complain about the noise from the building site.
Ideal location for site seeing and somewhere to sleep.

Room 24 of this "boutique" hotel is very reminiscent of the seedy motels so often featured in american films of the 60's Small and depressing in the extreme with views of a car park and building site next to rubbish bins and rat traps! On the plus side the staff at reception were very pleasant and friendly and the dining room looked nice enough. The room itself was filthy - heavily stained carpet bedding and soft furnishings, tatty lino in the bathroom, cracked lavatory and sink. Even the dog would have preferred her usual kennels!

Boutique hotel - some peoples view of this wording must be very different to my understanding of the words. I did expect a nice room. No 43 overlooking the car park, with a large crane overhanging our room and scaffolding. Very dark and dingy room. And sunday night we were the only people in the hotel in the courtyard and felt very vulnerable. Myself and my grandaughter. We did find the receptionists very nice and the breakfast was really good. Excellent service there. The restaurant was never opened and when we asked for sandwiches on sunday we couldnt get them so we went to a nearby cafe. I suppose for what we paid we really cannot grumble too much £148 for us both friday to monday but I would not have liked to pay their full price at all.

If you wish to over-night in the environs of central Windsor or Eton it must be impossible to fare worse than to stay at The Christopher.
We booked this "boutique" hotel at short notice (because another establishment that we booked back in Oct 06 recently became a private residence and omitted to tell us). For this reason perhaps we weren't as diligent as normal.
The room we stayed in (No 23?) was described as a "superior double". I fail to comprehend in what sense this dingy, pokey room is "superior"; other than in terms of its tariff.
We have stayed in hotels all over the UK ,and on most continents. This was the only one that has moved me to rail against what is blatant over-selling. We have stayed in £75 rooms which have been far nicer, bigger and cleaner than this £175 room.
For this out-landish price we found:
- shabby decoration - discoloured paintwork (all ceilings need painting) and peeling wallpaper
- dusty surfaces and any number of cobwebs
- a leaking shower hose
- a very noisy pump for the intermittent hot water supply
- a stained tea saucer
- poor quality TV picture
- lumps in the mattress (we actually like a hard mattress, which this was, but not lumps)

That we were awoken by a hen party returning to the rooms below from a night out in Windsor at 3am was not that significant; albeit it didn't enhance my regard for the hotel.

If you're impressed by a television screen that welcomes you by name to your hotel and an air-conditioning unit which was left on with all the windows open then you may have a head start on us.

Affording £175 for a room is not the issue. I just expected the room to be commensurate with the price. At less than £100 I'd have still had all of the above criticisms but I'd not have bothered to waste my time complaining publicly like this.
In total fairness I ought to say that the modest dealings we had with the staff were fine.
However, in summary I would just urge you to book elsewhere.
P.S. Now that I have read other, unfavourable reviews I am astonished that the management don't read these too - and act upon them!
