Room With an Anti-View: Not Good Enough for the Queen in Windsor

You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.

Windsor, west of London, might be the home of the Queen, but we're fairly sure she gets a better view than this one out of the Royal Adelaide Hotel in Kings Road, Windsor. The Royal Adelaide is just a five minute walk from Windsor Castle where Queen Elizabeth spends as much time as possible (if you have X-ray vision or an impressive security pass you might catch a glimpse of her).

Apart from having some rooms with really bad and boring views, the Royal Adelaide sounds like a decent enough place to stay. It's just had a multi-million pound upgrade so that it can get a 4-star rating and it's located just 15 minutes' drive from London Heathrow airport. Right now they're taking bookings for their big Christmas dinner and party. Just remember that if you stay the night, ask for a room without a wall outlook.
