About Gibtel Lodge & Cafe
Gibtel Lodge & Cafe suits travellers who want a straightforward base near Windsor without paying central prices, whether that's a family stopping over, a couple driving through, or anyone who values free parking over polish. It's a practical choice rather than a destination in itself, and works best for guests who just need a comfortable room and an easy exit route in the morning.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and in-room drinks, and family and accessible rooms are available for those who need them. Breakfast is served on site, and there's a cafe for a simple meal without having to go looking for one. Reception operates around the clock, which helps if you're arriving late after a day at Windsor or further afield, and pets are welcome too.
Free on-site parking makes it a sensible option for anyone driving into the area, and there's a pub, restaurant and other eateries nearby for evenings out, along with golf, watersports and entertainment within reach. It won't suit guests after a boutique stay, but as a comfortable, well-located overnight base in Slough, it does the job.
What guests say
We stayed at this place for one night, from May 4th to 5th, as a family with a 13-year-old teenager. We arrived quite late, at 8:30 PM, as indicated in our booking. It was difficult to find the entrance — we walked around the building several times, but all the doors were closed. We had to call out to some staff members we noticed through an open window of a utility room. Eventually, one of them came out and guided us to our room, which was located in a neighboring building. The room was modest but comfortable and clean: I ran my fingers over the windowsill and the top shelf of the wardrobe — not a speck of dust. It had everything we needed, including a wardrobe, TV, hairdryer, fridge, microwave, and electric kettle. One cup wasn’t properly washed — there were juice stains at the bottom.I really liked the real wooden beds. The mattresses were very comfortable, and I slept wonderfully. The bathroom was very nice. The tiles were well laid (my husband appreciated it from a professional perspective). The toilet seat was worn and scratched. Big plus for the presence of a bidet and the soft, fluffy towels. I also really liked the mandarin scent of the shampoo. I definitely recommend this place. Close to Heathrow Airport, affordable price, and cleanliness make this lodge well worth your attention.

Did stop here for an overnight stay prior to our morning flight. Got luckily sent to The Regent hotel, theirs too. The room looked great, bathroom very nice. Sadly not very heated overnight, hence cold. Also soundproofing is weak and you hear all. Overall alright and can stay there.

The hotel looks like a ghost house. Literally noone inside. Very dark. I was first confused whether this was the hotel because it was locked. I had to contact their neighbours about the whereabouts and the owners appeared from somewhere. The neighbours however had a negative review about it. The location looked remote. But the rooms were fine for 1 day stay.

Good value, nice warm, clean and tidy room with 4 piece ensuite, good size TV, with a fridge, microwave and kettle. Considering close to Heathrow and the flight path very quiet. Breakfast good and enjoyable. Parking is good with plenty of room, and an added bonus for pet owners as they are allowed for a small fee.
