7.4/10

I enjoyed my stay at the Clarion Collection Harte & Garter Hotel & Spa mainly because of its fantastic location directly across from Windsor Castle. The stunning views from my room were truly lovely. However, I found the room itself to be a bit compact and somewhat dated, which detracted from the overall luxury experience. Dining had its highs and lows; while the dinner in the restaurant was excellent, breakfast left much to be desired.

Rooms

6.0

I booked a room with a view of Windsor Castle, and while it was compact, the stunning sight was well worth it. However, the room did feel a bit tired and needed some updates. Cleanliness was not an issue, which I appreciated.

Service

7.0

The restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive, which enhanced my dining experience. However, my interactions with front desk staff were mixed; some were helpful, while others didn't provide the support I needed, making check-in slightly challenging.

Location

9.0

The location couldn't be better; situated right in the heart of Windsor and just steps away from the castle, I found it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. This was a highlight of my stay.

Dining

5.0

I had a fantastic dinner in the restaurant with beautifully presented dishes that I couldn't fault. Unfortunately, breakfast was a letdown; the buffet options weren't very appealing and left me wanting more.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel had a charming atmosphere, but the spa was closed during my visit, which was disappointing. I didn't get to experience any additional amenities apart from my room and dining.

5.6/10

The location directly opposite Windsor Castle is a significant plus, offering stunning views and easy access, though the overall condition of the hotel leaves much to be desired. My experience with the dining was quite disappointing, both in terms of quality and ambiance. While I did appreciate the spacious bathroom in my room, the lack of attention to detail in cleanliness and comfort was disheartening.

Rooms

5.0

The room I was initially given was a standard double, not the feature double I had paid for. Though I was eventually moved to a room with a nicer bathroom, the view was uninspiring and it was quite warm. Additionally, there were cleanliness issues, including peeling paint and a stained bath mat, which detracted from my comfort.

Service

5.0

Service was inconsistent. some staff were friendly and helpful, while others seemed overwhelmed and disorganized. I had a frustrating experience with my dinner order that fell short of expectations, and not much was done to address it.

Location

9.0

The location is excellent, right by the castle, making it perfect for sightseeing. I found it incredibly convenient to access local attractions and shopping, which added to the experience despite the hotel's shortcomings.

Dining

5.0

Dining was overall a disaster. the quality of the food at dinner was disappointing, and breakfast did not impress either. I was left with a lackluster buffet experience, and the temperatures of the food could have been much better.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel offered basic facilities. but the restaurant was a separate business, and the amenities felt dated. I expected more given the overall ambiance and reputation of the hotel.

7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the location directly opposite Windsor Castle is fantastic, and after some back and forth, I finally got a room with a castle view, which was a definite highlight. However, the overall state of the hotel left much to be desired, with some shabby decor and service issues that detracted from what could have been an enjoyable experience.

Rooms

6.0

Initially, I was placed in a small room without air conditioning, which was uncomfortable during the heatwave. However, after explaining my situation, I was upgraded to a spacious room with a stunning castle view and proper air conditioning, making all the difference.

Service

5.0

Service was hit or miss during my stay. While some staff were professional and helpful, I encountered a rude maitre d’ one night, which was disappointing. The reception staff did manage to accommodate my needs when I fell ill, which was appreciated.

Location

7.0

The hotel’s location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Windsor and just steps away from the castle, making it easy to explore the area. However, the lack of parking in such a busy spot was inconvenient.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was freshly cooked and varied, which I enjoyed, but the dining experience overall lacked ambiance and had some inconsistencies with service. I wasn't too thrilled with some of the evening meals either, finding a few dishes underwhelming.

Facilities

5.0

I found the facilities somewhat outdated. The hotel had a historic charm, but aspects like the air conditioning and general maintenance really needed to be addressed. I was also unhappy with the confusion over spa access fees.

6.0/10

My stay at the Clarion Collection Harte & Garter Hotel & Spa had its highs and lows. The hotel's location opposite Windsor Castle is truly unbeatable, offering stunning views. However, my room left much to be desired in terms of comfort and noise. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but some areas of the hotel felt quite tired and in need of updates.

Rooms

6.0

My room was compact and clean, yet it was on the first floor and far from ideal with noisy pigeons and a lack of air conditioning. I had a decent view of the castle, which was a highlight, but generally, the rooms felt a bit shabby given the price.

Service

7.0

The bar and breakfast staff were polite and genuinely helpful, offering a complimentary upgrade to a castle view room to celebrate a special occasion. However, the general staff were not as friendly, which was a letdown.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is amazing, directly opposite Windsor Castle, making it perfect for exploring the town. I appreciated being able to check in early and the proximity to shops and restaurants enhanced my stay.

Dining

I enjoyed the dining experience, especially dinner, which featured a beautiful plate of food. Breakfast was plentiful and well-prepared, served in a rather tired ballroom but still enjoyable.

Facilities

7.0

While I didn't get to enjoy the spa during my visit, the basic amenities in the room were adequate, including tea and coffee facilities. However, some areas were in need of a refresh.

The Clarion Collection Harte & Garter Hotel & Spa has stunning views of Windsor Castle, offering a unique experience right across from this historical landmark. However, my stay was marred by numerous issues including a confusing check-in process and disappointing dining experiences. While the location is unbeatable, the quality of the accommodations and food did not meet expectations.

Rooms

5.0

Upon arrival, I was given the wrong room type on the first attempt. The second room was more spacious but lacked a decent view. The bathroom was dated and basic with peeling paint and inadequate toiletries. Overall, I expected a better quality for the price paid.

Service

5.0

The service at the reception was slow, and I had difficulty getting attention at the bar. Although some staff were friendly, the overall experience felt rushed and disorganized.

Location

5.0

The hotel's location directly opposite Windsor Castle was fantastic, allowing easy access to the castle and local shops. However, accessibility within the hotel itself was challenging due to poor layout.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience left much to be desired. Dinner was served in a stuffy room, the food quality was inconsistent, and breakfast was disappointing with limited options. I ended up eating out rather than risk another poor meal.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel features traditional charm but lacks modern amenities. The lack of air conditioning made my stay uncomfortable and the facilities appeared rundown.
