What guests think

Across recent reviews, Holiday Inn Express Windsor by IHG is praised for exceptionally friendly, helpful staff and a walkable location near Windsor Castle, with many guests highlighting clean, refurbished spaces and good value for short stays.

Rooms feel modern and comfortable, though some are tight when a sofa bed is used, and there are reports of noise, low water pressure, and air-conditioning issues or centrally controlled heating. Breakfast is generally well liked, but during refurbishment it sometimes switched to a grab-and-go bag and several guests found hot options limited or not hot enough. Underground parking is available but paid and tight, and on-site dining choices are modest. Overall, it suits travellers seeking a straightforward, reliable base near Windsor’s sights.

From the hotel it is 10 minutes walk to the castle in safe area. Parking £13 a night but worth it for peace of mind (in a locked garage) Could do with a proper restaurant but plenty of choice not far away

Chose this for our last night in the UK as an easy access to Heathrow. This hotel was newly renovated and spotless. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice bar and beautiful atrium for enjoying a bite and a brew. Underground parking if you have a car. Easy walk to downtown Windsor, the Thames, and the Castle.

They are currently renovating this hotel (March 2024) and we stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms. Pros: - very comfy bed with choice of firm or soft pillows - cruelty free and vegan shower gel, soap and shampoo in the room - good blackout curtains and very quiet location meant I slept well - new room is well designed. There's a hairdryer and iron/ironing board in the room, a small open wardrobe to hang clothes and kettle with teas etc. Lovely bathroom with excellent shower. - breakfast had a small but good range, including vegan hot and cold options. Cons: - the lift had broken on the Wednesday before we checked in on Saturday. Nobody attempted to contact me which meant we had to walk up to the 3rd floor (4th if you consider ground 1st floor) each time we went to our room. Unfortunately this was quite difficult for my elderly mother and pregnant friend. It would have been totally inaccessible for a wheelchair user. When we raised it with reception we didnt even get an apology from the man on reception. Overall a good hotel with a short walk to the center of Windsor, castle etc.

The Expedia booking didn’t state the hotel was being refurbished. No food available at the hotel and didn’t include the full breakfast (offered paper take out bags). No chair to sit on in the room. Probably would have been fine if not for the refurbishment going on.

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful, the gentleman on reception was so kind and helpful as we had arrive early. The room had a window which you could open which was great, and beds were really comfortable. The room was supper clean one of the best clean rooms we had stayed in. The breakfast was excellent and plenty of choice. The lady called Jo was lovely and she checked all at breakfast and even checked cups for tea/coffee stains and sent them back to get washed. Super person and always had a smile and chat. xx

The hotel is undergoing a refurbishment which wasn't obvious at all except for one floor being unaccessible. Our room had been refurbished and had a decent shower cubicle and fresh new carpet. There was a noticeable smell of damp in the room though. The hotel is located away from the main part of Windsor which can be easily accessed on foot down residential roads. Good value for a night in Windsor

I've always been happy with Holiday Inn in America and the UK. Reliable, clean, comfortable, and friendly...this location is no different. PROS: -Reasonable price of $160 for 1 Friday night, especially for this area. -Clean, modern, and decently sized rooms. -Comfortable twin beds with great flat pillows. -AIR CONDITIONING!!! -Large LCD TV -Large clean bathroom -Tea Maker -Reasonably priced parking at £15/night...but there was some free street parking outside. -Friendly staff -Nice lobby area -Walking distance to the main shopping street, especially were the locals actually spend time at(the area close to the castle is very touristy!). CONS: -Easy 15min walk to Windsor Castle if you're in good shape...but if you're in bad shape it's a 20-25min long uphill walk. -I wish parking was free! Highly recommend staying here, very convenient if you had a long tiring 10+ hour to Heathrow and need a nearby place to stay and plan on visiting Windsor Castle.

Quality of room ok. Careful as there’s an additional £13 charge for parking. Would of hoped seeing I booked as an adult and 11 yr old they wouldn’t of put us with a joining door for next room so we could hear their tv all night. Too late for me to try and relocate. Wifi was very week and kept falling out. Air con sounds like we were directly under Heathrow flight path too.

Staff were very professional, friendly & accommodating. We were staying here overnight to go to LEGOLAND the next day for our twins birthday. Our van wouldn’t fit in the underground parking so they arranged for us to have a slot outside the hotel which they reserved for us and we paid for on arrival. They put cards, biscuits and balloons for our twins as they knew it was their birthday which was very kind of them. Everyone we spoke to was friendly and kind. It was a ver short walk to Windsor castle and the shops & restaurants. Breakfast was self service buffet plenty of food and was top up continuously, but as per many self service style it’s not mega hit. They had a great little pancake maker machine which the kids loved though.

I was very disappointed as there was no hot breakfast as anticipated on my booking. They are doing refurbishment so had breakfast bags which had stuff we didn't like so had to buy breakfast in the town.Also didn't know that you had to pay for parking which added to more expense .Have previously stayed there without these issues. I think an email about breakfast should have been sent to me Did stay 2 nights and saw the manager to complain

I selected this hotel primarily for its breakfast offerings, as I needed a meal before my race. Upon arrival, I was informed that the dining hall was closed for renovations and was asked about my meal preferences. Unbeknownst to me, the renovations were ongoing. All restaurants were closed, reception, seemed like a ghost hotel. I requested a vegan meal, and was assured it would be prepared for me in the morning. However, the next morning upon my arrival downstairs, I discovered that my order had been completely forgotten. With my taxi waiting, I had to leave immediately, receiving only a paper bag with inadequate provisions, which I returned after the race. I had paid a premium for this hotel specifically for the breakfast, which is not complimentary but included in the overall cost. When I sought a refund for the breakfast, I was told it was free and thus not eligible for reimbursement. There were more affordable hotels available that did not include breakfast, which I could have chosen instead. Additionally, the pillows were exceedingly uncomfortable, resulting in a poor night's sleep no breakfast which affected my running performance. Overall, this experience felt like a significant waste of money.
