About Harte and Garter Hotel

With views directly over Windsor Castle, this city hotel enjoys the finest location in town. While staying here, enjoy a tour of the largest inhabited castle in Europe and relax in luxurious surroundings, shadowed by the castle walls.

Windsor Central Train Station is just a few minutes' walk away, and from here guests can reach London in roughly 30 minutes. Legoland is just a 15-minute drive from the hotel. Heathrow Airport is approximately 10 km away, and Gatwick Airport is about 78 km from the hotel.

This hotel is an amalgamation of two 14th-century inns: The Garter Inn, named after The Most Noble Order of the Garter, which was founded by King Edward III, and The White Harte, named in honour of the Royal Emblem worn by King Richard II.

The two were joined together in the late 19th century to form this hotel, a building in the 'Jacobean' style, much loved by the Victorians and reflecting Shakespearean connections. The hotel has 79 guest rooms with different price point to accommodate from 1 to 4 guests.

Everything about this place was horrific apart from the view from the room. Staff were rude , cleanliness of the room was appalling. The so called maid service was only a change of towel and a bin change. Room was filthy when we got there , we complained and it still got us nowhere after 3 days stay . V dirty .

Our room may not have been quite up to Deluxe standard. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Good towels. Very good view from our room across to Windsor castle. Did not hear any noise in the night. Would have preferred to have had a cooked breakfast in a dining room which is not part of the hotel. Staff were very helpful. A lovely old hotel with lots of character. Needs some decorating in places. We enjoyed our stay.

This hotel is in a brilliant location. After reading some bad reviews I was worried but I needn’t have been. The hotel was full of character. We had a superior castle view room which was lovely. A little bit tired maybe. The windows could do with some attention but it was big and the bathroom was clean and everything worked. Plenty of hot water and plenty of towels. The bed was big and very comfortable. Tea & coffee and kettle in the room and even an air cooler which was very useful during the heatwave !
We didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment.
The staff were all lovely,polite & helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harte & Garter and would definitely stay there again.

The location is absolutely perfect, just across from the castle. The hotel was clean, and our room had an amazing view of the castle. It was everything we needed for a one-night stay. The building is old, so some things are a little outdated—including the elevator 😊. It works, but it's slow, makes some interesting noises, and sometimes requires a little patience. Nobody bothered us, the price was right, and I would definitely stay here again. If what matters most to you is location, simplicity, and good value, I highly recommend this hotel.

Would not recommend. Great location and very friendly staff — that was the highlight of our stay. The hotel lobby gives an attempted boutique feel, but unfortunately the rooms are musty and quite outdated. The red carpeting seems to hide dust and general wear. The bed was extremely uncomfortable; we could feel the springs pressing into our backs throughout the night. There is no air conditioning, which is fairly common in Europe, but the fans provided were covered in dust. Overall, I would only recommend this hotel for a short stay if location is your main priority.

I had an awful stay at this property. It is easily one of the worst places I have ever booked. The room was in a state of total disrepair and clearly lacks proper maintenance.

Here are the main issues I encountered during my stay:

Plumbing Problems: The toilet flush handle was incredibly loose. It was so broken that I actually had to remove the toilet tank lid every single time just to flush it.

Additionally, the hot water faucet on the bathroom sink did not work at all, so there was no hot water available there.

Broken Lighting: The room was dark and poorly maintained. One light in the bathroom was completely broken, and another light in the bedroom was not working either.

Cosmetic and Safety Issues: The paint was peeling off heavily in the bathtub area. To make matters worse, the air conditioning unit was missing its cover entirely, leaving the internals exposed.

This place is completely neglected. I highly recommend avoiding this property until management decides to invest in basic maintenance and repairs.

I can hear workers throwing bottles into the bins in the morning. Workers talking in the back alley.

The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. I could have used some instructions on working the shower. I ended up with a sponge bath. The hotel did its best with two fans to cool down the room during the heat wave, but we slept on top of the covers with the windows open. The location was excellent.

Hotel is a bit tired but room was ok, a bit small but clean & fine for a night. I was at the back of the hotel with views of the grubby outside of the building next door, and was very noisy when they emptied the bottles into the bins! Try & get a room in the front if you can.

The hotel is not what it once was the rooms are clearly dated and coming due a refresh as things were clearly in disrepair one example of this was the shower mixer was broken serving up a scalding hot shower. Although the Ivy restaurant is downstairs and the breakfast used to be served there now you get a paper bag breakfast literally a brown bag with some food items that you can scurry back to your room with so don’t make the mistake of paying extra for this. My recommendation to anyone would be to book one of the other real hotels near by.

This place is a solid 3 star hotel, in a great location.

The property in rough condition, I could feel the springs in the bed, bathroom looked like an insane asylum, the continental breakfast was a bag of snacks put together from the night before… but as soon as I walked out the door, recognized why I paid to stay there.

The hotel is fairly easy to find (directly opposite the castle) and checking in was easy. The room was clean , a nice size with a shower/bath combo. There was something going on in the function room but the noise didn't travel and I had a nice quiet room and slept really well. Some minor cosmetic issues with the room but nothing big. Good value for it's location and I would definitely stay again.

Despite our reservation saying that breakfast was included we were told that they do not offer breakfast.
Upon check in, lthe room we were allocated hadn’t been cleaned from the day before. Due to the extremely high temperatures and the food that had been left in there it was like a pungent, sweaty sauna. We were given a second room luckily this one had been cleaned, however the windows didn’t open and the air con unit was blowing out hot air! It must have been over 40C.
The story did get better when their exhausted maintenance man arrived and opened the windows and got the air con going, he gets 5 STARS.

You can’t beat the location of this hotel, but sadly that’s the only thing it has going for it. We stayed in a castle view “sleeps 4” room, and we did appreciate the pull-out sofa being set up as a bed for us upon arrival. Unfortunately we were there during the UK heat wave, and the plug-in AC unit we had was basically an oversized fan, definitely not AC, so our room was unbearably hot. We also had a leaking faucet in the tub, uncomfortable bed linens, only 2 towels for 4 people, and absolutely no amenities on the hotel. No ice. No plastic wear for food. No snacks to purchase. No helpful staff. A broken lift. It was so bad that we left early despite no refund. Skip this hotel!

Hotel is in a great location but needs a lot of attention. Carpets in main lounge on stairs were threadbare. No air conditioning (not unusual for an older property) but no fans in bedroom, bathroom sash window wouldnt stay open. Woodwork in bathroom badly worn and no plug in sink so difficult to wet shave. Bed was comfortable but with windows open due to heat Heathrow flight path didnt help with sleep. Hotel needs a lot of work done on it. In the meantime simple attention to details like sink plugs and bedroom fans would help

Heatwave and no air con. Fans weren’t on in the room despite emailing prior to arrival. Window had alarm and not possible to open properly. Extra fan provided that was broken. Cobwebs in room and stains on ceiling. Had to request iron. Lift didn’t work and had to carry luggage in heatwave second floor. Great location, awful dated facilities for the price. Such a shame given the great service from reception and the location.

Stunning location, but very basic facilities. Shower had very little to no pressure which made it difficult to shower, shower was leaking. Appreciated the fan in the room, however struggled to find the hotel being 4 star rated.

Super location and the 2nd floor room with a castle view gave us a 'grandstand' view
from the balcony of the comings and goings for (and some sounds from) the Garter Ceremony.
Pleasant and helpful staff.
The pack up breakfast was initially a bit disappointing, but the contents were comprehensive and sufficed for lunch also !

Excellent Reception Staff, very kindly allocated me a room on the first floor as requested. It was adequately appointed and very quiet but no outlook. The decorating looked as if it had been done by an amateur!! However, bearing in mind the money I spent it was perfectly suitable for a two night stay. The Shower produced plenty of of hot water over the Bath, but there was no grab rail/ handle to hold onto whilst taking a shower. The Hallways, and Corridors and Staircase most definitely need re- carpeting, very threadbare in places. This Victorian Hotel has been very grand in its heyday, but now is I am afraid faded grandeur, and needs a great deal of money spent to improve it. The bonus is the price in a very expensive Royal Town and the very helpful and delightful Staff who work there. Its position right opposite Windsor Castle and next door to Windsor and Ascot Railway Station with trains to Slough every 20 minutes makes it most beneficial for a short stay, all next door is The Ivy Restaurant, probably the best eatery for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner in Windsor.

Location to the Castle excellent. Looked lovely from outside.
Very noisy at night from revellers from the local pubs and as no air conditioning we had to have the windows open. Hardly slept because of outside noise.
Room was very basic - double bed small. Bedroom and Bathroom needed updating. Bedding and towels clean though. No breakfast available. Would not stay again.

What l liked was the location, the Castle was just across the road, close to shops and friendly atmosphere.

I wasn’t given any breakfast, l asked at reception and was told to go to the Ivy next door. There was no bottled water to drink available.

Would l choose this hotel again, sorry guys it’s a definite No as l didn’t get my money’s worth.

The hotel was lovely and clean,
The 1 staff member I encountered was very helpful.
My main issue with this hotel was 2 single beds pushed together to make a double. Was uncomfortable!
Although the room was nice and clean it looked like it had been decorated by toddlers. Absolute bodge job of the paint work.

Very disappointed to be visiting this hotel on this occasion. I stayed here about 8 years ago and it was a delightful stay; it looked grand and beautiful, but clearly there has been a change of ownership. The hotel looks very dated and unkempt and needs some tender loving care. Our room was clean to a degree, but unfortunately the bedside tables had dirty ring marks, the sash windows had rotten frames and paint flaking off, the glass windows were dirty, and there were no safety locks, so you could open them fully, and being on the third floor it is a good job we didn’t have any children with us because they could have climbed out and fallen fifty feet to their death. The double bed was actually two single beds pushed together and was very uncomfortable to sleep on. The bathroom was functional but needs upgrading desperately as it had rusted shower and bath taps and the walls were patched up with paint, and the sash window would not open. The long mirror on the wall had not been rehung because it clearly had come off the wall at some point. There were only two tea bags provided to use and a small amount of coffee and cheap milk. The quality of the bath/shower and soap provided were not good. The two members of staff that I met were very pleasant, but that is the only positive from our visit. For the money I paid for a one-night stay, it was not worth the money unfortunately and I will not use this hotel again.

Hotel was tired, dated and needed a definite facelift! Our room overlooked the back of restaurants and the wind was literally howling through our room! The shower was very lacklustre with no real power. Our room also on the slope!
On the plus side the staff were lovely, very accommodating and helpful. They were a credit to the hotel.
Would I stay here again? Sadly no.

Let me start off with the the good things

Location: Fantastic
Staff: very helpful and friendly

Room: Horrendous
Really dated and needs updating. The shower leaked onto th4 floor due to the bottom of the bath/shower window having some trim missing. Slippy in bath as nothing to prevent from sliding and nothing to help you climb out as its quite a step.

The mattress was soo old we could feel every spring. Without doubt the worst mattress I've ever had in a hotel. The right hand side our our bed had a big rip in it which was nearly 1/2 meter long.

The iron even in a. Cool setting burnt my shirt and when I looked at the bottom of the iron I could see why. It was black and something had been burnt on to it. That's a £60 shirt ruined

I did read the reviews before I booked and thought I'd take a chance. So it's my fault, however I will never book this hotel again.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, STAY AWAY!!

It is a beautiful old building in an incredible location right over the road from the castle, the staff were wonderful; helpful, polite and professional, I had a standard room which was actually huge! The bed was very comfortable and clean, it is a very short walk away from loads of lovely cafes and is next door to the Ivy. I would absolutely stay here again

I liked the hotel; however, it doesn't include breakfast, so there's a regular coffee shop in the room. Nevertheless, there are restaurants and cafes near the hotel, which was also good and didn't pose a problem. We loved the experience of staying at the hotel opposite Windsor Castle.

The hotel is located conveniently to walk to Windsor Castle and surrounding shops and diners. But it also makes it noisy at night.

So sad to see this grand old hotel in such a sorry sate. It should not be open for bookings. Filthy bathroom with ancient fittings neither bath nor retained water. Zero facilities and broken lift which has been broken months I had to carry one ladies bags to her room as she could not and no staff to help. It is clear the owners are just taking money as long as they can putting nothing in until it’s inevitable closure. Do not book here location does not compensate for dire state.

The hotel looks nice from the outside but when you go in into your room carpet had stains, bathroom smelled awful, the pictures they showed on the rooms when you booked don't look nothing like when you see it on person. Staff its nice but the rooms are not .old dirty and creepy. The only nice thing is the you can see the windsor castle from the window because the balcony looks old and unsteady wont step on it at all. Windows didn't shut closed and no central heat you had to plug electrial heaters. Won't be staying there again.

The location was perfect. Overlooking Windsor castle & right in the heart of the town centre.
The outside of the property was aesthetically pleasing, however the inside was a completely different story.
Reception was tucked away almost under the stairs, not very open or welcoming, the decor was dated & tired, worn carpets on the stairs & the decor was in much need of updating.
The lift was not working & from all accounts hadn't been for some time. A worker took our bags to our room (3 adults sharing) he had a very strong smell of B.O which lingered long after he had left.
The room was quite large with 3 windows, however 1 window would not close & had to be wedged with a spoon. As the room was cold, obviously the central heating wasn't functioning as we had x2 oilf filled radiators. We had a double bed & a pull out settee bed, both were lumpy, worn & not particularly comfortable, the pillows certainly weren't hotel pillows as they took were hard & lumpy. The room didn't smell fresh either, very musty & in much need of a decent clean as there was rubbish under the wardrobe & bed.
Lovely big bathroom with a bath & a shower ( no handle on the inside of the shower door)
We had a kettle but no milk or tea bags, just a couple of coffee sachets. The TV was not tuned in. They didn't provide a service to make the beds & provide fresh towels, we had to ask for those & make our own beds. It was very cheap to stay there but wouldn't stay again, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for

First impressions at reception and check in were excellent. Room was big and very clean. French doors had gaps and let in cold and noise and boy was it noisy from 3pm to 2am it was non stop, motorbikes, car horns and people shouting and screaming. 6am started again with lorries and dustbins being emptied. Perfect location for all shops and tourist attractions but if you want a good nights sleep forget it.
