Hampden Apartments - The Charles

Very close to shops, restaurants and bars. Also close to the castle 🏰

Nothing

Close location to Windsor Castle, restaurants and convenience stores. Very spacious accommodation Quiet, secure location Access to variety of TV channels Clear instructions for access

No blinds on doors to patio with blinding westerly sun streaming in. The pictures on Booking.com must have been taken when it was new. It’s dated and worn and didn’t live up to pictures on the listing. Cleanliness was an issue. Carpets are stained and the common stairwell is putrid. Some maintenance required. Door handle to the apartment is very loose.

The host, Jeremy, was very helpful prior to our visit as he sent through all the access information in advance and agreed for us to park at the property prior to check-in time. The apartment is very spacious, in a great location (with shops/restaurants in easy walking distance), with well equipped kitchen and the beds were comfortable.

Our biggest annoyance was that we were unable to open the twin bedroom window, which made it very uncomfortable to sleep in 30+ degrees during the recent heatwave. I messaged Jeremy to raise this but got no response. It looked like the frame had been varnished and stuck shut, so has probably been an issue for some time. There were some fans provided but one of which didn't work. They could also really do with a blind on the large kitchen window because the evening sun comes streaming in from the balcony and it's uncomfortably bright when your trying to eat dinner at the dining table. A couple of minor points were some spot light bulbs needed replacing in the kitchen/dining/living area, the shower was draining slowly and the toaster was a bit temperamental.

Unable to open windows on one bedroom not good with hot weather although plenty of fans !

Spacious, bathrooms have great water pressure and plenty of hot water, lots of light, full size appliances in kitchen, walkable to many sites

Kitchen ill equipped- 1 wine glass, 1 dull knife, no coffee except instant, no salt or pepper. Oven needs cleaning. No placemats or napkins. Entry door to apartment has failing lock and handle mechanisms.

The location was great with a parking space onsite. The apartment was spacious and modern ….

The entrance communal hallway was a little tired

We loved the clear communications from the owner, he sent us a very helpful email detailing everything we needed to know before we arrived: how to get past the security gates, where to park, how to access the keys, the wi-fi info etc. The property itself is very spacious and well appointed, it's got everything you could need. It's a very easy 10-12 minute walk to the centre of Windsor.

We got upgraded to another property and we thought it was great. It was a town house with plenty space and in a great location. It had everything we needed for a nice relaxing holiday.

The location is superb and the parking is a bonus. Access was simple and straightforward, the flat is spacious, the beds are comfy and the flat is clean and tidy.

The commmunal stairs to the property are grubby so not a fabulous first impression but the flat is very clean and well maintained.

Well equipped and location
