Book a hotel in Windsor

Planning a visit to Windsor and wondering where to stay? From charming riverside guesthouses to hotels just a stone’s throw from the Castle, you will find a range of accommodation options. eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know to book your perfect Windsor stay.

Discover Windsor, a historic town steeped in royal heritage, just a short journey from London. Best known as the home of Windsor Castle, the world's oldest continually inhabited and largest working castle, it offers a fascinating glimpse into centuries of British monarchy. You can explore the State Apartments, St. George's Chapel – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and the burial place of many monarchs – and Queen Mary's Dolls' House. Beyond the castle walls, the town's charming streets invite you to wander and explore.

Take a stroll through the expansive grounds of Windsor Great Park, or enjoy a boat trip on the River Thames. For family fun, LEGOLAND Windsor Resort is a popular attraction. With a wide range of accommodation options, from historic guesthouses to modern hotels, planning your stay in Windsor is straightforward, ensuring you have a comfortable base to explore everything this regal town has to offer.

Most visitors choose to book a hotel in Central Windsor due to its convenient location. This area offers easy access to Windsor’s main attractions, making it ideal for those who want to explore on foot.

Central Windsor surrounds Windsor Castle, the town’s most prominent landmark. Here, you will find a range of accommodation, from upscale hotels to more modest guesthouses. This bustling area is also home to St George's Chapel and the historic Windsor Guildhall. The Long Walk, a tree-lined avenue leading to the castle, begins here, offering scenic strolls. Close by, the River Thames provides opportunities for boat trips and walks along the waterfront.

If you prefer a quieter stay, consider areas slightly outside the immediate town centre, such as those towards Eton or Datchet. Eton, located just across the Eton Bridge from Windsor, offers a charming village atmosphere with views of Eton College. Accommodation here often includes boutique hotels and traditional inns. Further afield, Datchet provides a more residential feel with guesthouses and B&Bs, and convenient rail links to London Waterloo.

Booking a hotel in Windsor provides excellent transport connections. Windsor & Eton Central station offers services to London Paddington (via a change at Slough), while Windsor & Eton Riverside station has direct trains to London Waterloo. For air travel, Windsor is well-connected to major airports. London Heathrow Airport is just a 15-minute drive away, making it a very accessible option. London Gatwick Airport is also reachable by direct train from Clapham Junction or London Victoria, with Reading station offering a connection to Gatwick as well.

To find cheaper hotels in Windsor, consider booking your stay outside of peak tourist seasons like summer or school holidays when prices often rise. Opting for a midweek visit instead of a weekend can also lead to better deals. Look for accommodation a little further out from the town centre, particularly if you're happy to use local buses or taxis; properties in nearby areas like Eton or Datchet can offer more budget-friendly rates while still providing easy access to Windsor Castle. Remember that prices can also fluctuate around major events such as Royal Ascot, so checking the local calendar is a good idea.

Booking a room that doesn't include breakfast can save you money, allowing you to explore local cafés for a more affordable bite. We offer a wide selection of hotels, so you can filter by price, location, and amenities to find a deal that suits your budget.
