Exceptional Service delivery and Wonderful Hotel

Reviewed By NorrisaG1

From the moment I arrived to the moment I checked out, everything about the experience was beautiful. The staff are amazing from the reception, bar and restaurant. I felt warm and welcomed, with excellent attention to detail, and extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Can I please celebrate a few of the names that I remember: Rachel, you are forever imprinted in my mind, diligent and exceptional delivery that made me feel welcomed and cared for. Thank you for being you, I will not forget how you took care of me. Kamil seamless efficiency and congratulations on your promotion, I can tell it is well deserved. At dinner I was so indecisive because of the amazing offerings available, however, Ruben handled me with care and made a recommendation of 'Surt and Turf' that was absolutely mouth-watering and tasted divine. Not forgetting the F&B supervisor who whipped up my drink with a smile and great conversation. So many amazing encounters to make a great stay. My room was lovely, clean and well presented. I slept like a baby. I am so bad with names, please do not feel offended if I have not mentioned you all, because your delivery was incredible. The hotel is situated in such a vibrant and idyllic location and to top it all off, the changing of the Queen's Guards happens right outside the hotel. The area beckons you to explore it, with long walks and castles (by the way the Queen is in residence less than 200 yards from this amazing hotel. Just wow! This hotel is jam-packed with hidden treasures and eye-catching designs, that enhance its beauty. I was there to attend a Careers and Networking event, the facilities are beautiful and well presented with large flexible spaces and multiple offerings from the board room to the welcome grand hall with a stage if required. Plus a good parking facility, with automated gates, handy with the British weather. Overall, a great stay that was an experience. Thank you all so much.

Excellent staff

Reviewed By LuciaR1203

We’re enjoying our stay at the Travelodge Windsor and cannot fault the staff here. Junaid & Andzelika acted so swiftly and efficiently when my 6 year old done a disappearing act. They immediately started scanning the hotel in a synchronised system covering every floor and found her at another door on the wrong floor. They were very reassuring and couldn’t have acted quicker. Massive thanks to them for resolving an awful situation so quickly. Very quick thinking and complete calmness from them both. Much appreciated.

Premier Inn Maidenhead Town Centre hotel

Spend the night at Premier Inn Maidenhead Town Centre and you're at the heart of everything this Berkshire town has to offer. Update your wardrobe in The Nicholson Centre or leave the high street behind for a local market. Take the kids to Kidswell Park (it's just over the road from our Maidenhead hotel) and the Maidenhead Heritage Centre. Spending some time alongside the picturesque river Thames is a must. When it's time to call it a day, tuck into dinner at our Thyme restaurant before turning in to one of our new-generation bedrooms, each featuring an impressive 40" flat screen TV, bright, modern bathroom with a large shower head and slumber-inducing, king-size Hypnos bed.

The Crown and Cushion

The Crown and Cushion is a delightful pub with 8 en-suite rooms. It is pleasantly situated in Eton High Street, which is a stone's throw from Windsor. Situated in the picturesque setting of Eton High Street, we are surrounded by history. Dating back to the 1600’s, The Crown and Cushion has been an Inn since 1753. Just minutes walk from Windsor Castle and Eton College and a short drive away from various attractions including Legoland, Royal Ascot Racecourse and Cliveden House. Having recently been refurbished, The Crown and Cushion offers you good food and good accommodation at reasonable prices. We have eight en-suite rooms: 2 Kings, 5 Doubles and 1 compact double. Put up beds can be added if needed at no extra cost; please discuss this at time of booking. Continental and a full English breakfast is included. The building is full of character and is very quirky in places. Allegedly built from old ships timbers, some of the floors are wonky and lots of the floorboards are creaky – but that is what makes it charming! The rooms are situated over two floors so if you require a first floor room please mention at the time of booking and we will do our best. We have an unusual American theme and our aim is to make you feel as relaxed as possible and send you off happy whether you have just had a drink, meal or a whole night’s stay. There is an outside patio should you wish to eat or drink outside. All our food is available for takeaway if you don’t have time to stop or you want to eat at home. For our staying guests, parking is available on site but this is not unlimited and we therefore request that parking is allocated to one car per booking. We will try and accommodate any reasonable request from any of our customers so if you do have any special requirements then please just ask.

Good Location

Reviewed By cls_2005

Location was good, short walk from Windsor Castle and train station with a nice selection of bars and shops close by. Room was small and fairly basic but clean and comfortable. Sleep quality wasn’t great though. This is an old building so as you’d expect there’s creaky floorboards and poor sound insulation so we were kept awake by other guests coming and going/moving around during the night. The breakfast included in the price was decent but only served between 8am and 9am on the days we stayed - not ideal to have to be up and ready that early on holiday. Staff were friendly and the bar and beer garden were nice places to relax.

Booked by my partner as a last minute surprise and I was not disappointed! The superior double room had the most beautiful view of the river and it’s a perfect location for everything you need. Restaurant food and surroundings are top quality and the staff are friendly, professional and very kind. We had evening drinks on our last night and we were lucky enough to be served beautiful cocktails by the very lovely Siraj. Thank you so much to all the staff at this beautiful hotel, we will definitely be back.

AVOID this hotel. Awful service. Duty manager Harriet requires further training.

Reviewed By 114nfj

I stayed at the De Vere Beaumont Hotel for a business stay recently. I cannot put in words how shoddy the customer service was. My room had a broken fault. The duty manager, Harriet, requires further training, and understanding on how to approach and treat customers when there is an issue with a room (not once did she actually apologise on behalf of the hotel for the inconvenience to me). The general manager should actually ensure that there are proper measures in place that are being followed by the duty managers to ensure customer support, and that there is no excuse for unhelpful, unapologetic (when the issue is with the room) and quite frankly rude duty managers.

Quick one night stay away

Reviewed By B843MPashf

Had a really lovely time staying here last minute, the room was lovely and so was the hotel itself! I made use of the spa facilities and had a really relaxing last minute night away. The staff were so lovely, both at the main reception and at the spa. Very accommodating & easy to chat to- one staff member in particular stood out above the rest on the main reception, however, and that was the receptionist, Emily! She was so kind and incredibly helpful, going as far as making some recommendations to me of things to do in the area when I commented that I wasn’t really sure of what to do with my day after checking out. She really went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Thank you so much to her! All in all, a lovely little trip away that boosted my spirits.
