The Windamere Hotel Reviews

9.2/10

United Kingdom, August 2023

I had a fantastic experience staying at this luxurious hotel. The location was absolutely stunning, situated on a hilltop away from the noise but still right in the center of all the action. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, making me feel welcomed and cared for throughout my stay. The rooms were well-appointed with all the necessary amenities and a cozy sitting area. The dining experience was top-notch, with delicious continental dishes served. I also enjoyed the added convenience of free toiletries, an AM/FM alarm clock, and a carpeted floor.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

United Kingdom, January 2023

During my Easter break, I had a pleasant stay at a heritage hotel in the Himalayas. the hotel offered superb dining options with attentive, courteous staff. I enjoyed the hotel's historic ambiance that preserved the spirit of a bygone era which was reflected in the decor and architecture.

The hotel lacked proper upkeep, and some areas were in disrepair. the hotel had old-fashioned amenities, and the bathrooms were inadequate and outdated.
