Legoland Resort Hotel

The Lego-themed rooms make you feel like you’re staying inside a kid’s playground, which is great if you’re travelling with young children although it can be a bit much for some adults. You have the choice of several different themes including Adventure, Kingdom, Lego Friends, Ninjago and Pirate. The themed decor covers everything from bed linen and wall coverings to specially made furnishings. Some of the room designs are really hideous, but kids love it.

The rooms are mostly suites large enough to accommodate families with space for a double bed for mum and dad plus another area for up to three children with a single bed and a bunk bed and an en suite bathroom in between. In-room amenities include a desk (which is an ideal surface for building Lego models), a television, a sofa, tea and coffee making facilities and Lego-branded toiletries in the bathroom.

The hotel caters well to disabled guests with wheelchair-accessible rooms on all levels.

Bricks is the hotel’s child-friendly restaurant with both a buffet breakfast and buffet dinner and the Skyline Bar has an à la carte dining menu including a large children’s menu. Bricks is generally the cheaper of the two restaurants and it is more suitable for families with young children.

Other hotel facilities include a swimming pool, gym and lots of children’s activities including a Lego play pit. There is also a bar where the Lego theme has been toned down, one of the few parts of the hotel where adults can escape the madness.

The Legoland Resort Hotel is expensive, but room rates include breakfast, parking, Wi-Fi wireless internet access and entry to Legoland for the whole family on both the day you check in and the day you check out so you get two days entry to Legoland with a one night stay at the hotel. It is considerably cheaper to stay here off-season when Legoland is closed, but then what is the point of that.

The hotel is 4 km (2½ miles) from Windsor town centre, which is a 10-minute drive or a 15-minute bus trip. The hotel is very handy to Legoland; although it is a 10-minute walk to the main entrance of the theme park, there is a special park entrance where resort guests can walk straight from the hotel right into the park.

Courtney Buses route 600 runs a shuttle service between the Theatre Royal in Windsor and the Legoland main entrance, with a stop at the Legoland Resort Hotel, on weekends, bank holidays and every day on school holidays.

The hotel is a two-minute walk to the Legoland staff entrance, which has a bus stop where Greenline bus routes 702 and 703 run every half hour throughout the week. Both Greenline services connect Legoland with central Windsor and Slough and also go to Ascot, Bracknell and Langley. Route 702 also goes to Reading and Victoria Coach Station in central London and route 703 continues to Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. Between the two bus routes, Greenline provides a half-hourly service from Windsor and Slough to Legoland.
