The Macdonald Windsor enjoys a prime location right on the main street, directly opposite Windsor Castle, making it ideal for exploring. Many guests appreciate the large and clean rooms, some featuring powerful rain showers. The breakfast buffet is generally well-received, although a few guests found it just okay or noted slow service in the bar area. Comfortable beds, along with provided coffee machines and bottled water, contribute to a pleasant stay.

the parking situation was certainly a headache. i did not book it directly and was unaware i needed to reserve parking. finding a spot felt unnecessarily difficult (it was quite stressful). also, i found the breakfast to be quite expensive for what was on offer.
