Here’s the thing: this hotel is a gateway drug to Windsor Castle. It’s a ten-minute walk to the train station. From there, you’re six minutes from Windsor & Eton Riverside. That’s less time than it takes to regret ordering a second coffee. You can practically smell the scones from the Queen’s kitchen.
But if you’re stuck in Slough itself, don’t despair. The hotel is right near a retail park. You’ve got a M&S Foodhall for snacks, a McDonald’s for “I’m too tired to adult,” and a cinema for escaping reality. Is it glamorous? No. Is it convenient? Oh, absolutely.

The Breakfast: The Real MVP
Let’s talk about the morning. You shuffle down to the dining area, still half asleep. Then you see it: the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. There are sausages. There are bacon rashers that are actually crispy. There are hash browns that don’t taste like cardboard. The eggs are either scrambled or fried, and both are perfectly fine.
You can also make your own toast, grab a croissant, and pretend you’re in Paris. The coffee is from a machine, but it’s surprisingly good for a machine. It won’t win any barista awards, but it will wake you up without making you grimace. And the juice? It’s from concentrate, but who cares? You’re on holiday—or a business trip that feels like a holiday.
