Very good value for its central location, characterful building with a very pleasant garden. Breakfast m, at around £3.50 per head, was exceptional value. Downsides were that the towel-rail was on high heat with no means of controlling it, which meant that the bedroom was extremely warm and the bathroom like an oven! The heating seemed to affect the water as by morning the cold tap was dispensing piping hot water! We’d stay again, but would ask for extra bottles of water and hope that the heating situation was not as pronounced.

I understand with the recent rain some of the cleaning staff couldn’t get to work. We did have to wait for our room, but didn’t mind as the reception staff let us put our bags upstairs. Overall pretty clean as the poor staff had to work extra hard. It was appreciated.

8/10 Very good

The hotel which was historical was very clean and the staff worked hard to get the rooms ready for check in with limited staff; because the floods had made it difficult. Some of the decor needs updating but if its a listed building they may have restrictions.The bar area was beautiful the decor was lovely and looked as though it was one of the first things to have been refurbished. Location was great, we didnt eat in the restaurant other than breakfast which was a buffet style so you could have what you wanted. Car parking was good as the hotel stated; go through the arch to the back of the hotel and its free, at the front you will be charged with wardens patrolling.

Nice hotel in the centre of Banbury
We had a lovely stay in Banbury and the hotel being right in the town centre was perfect with free parking being a big plus. There were only a few minor points that stopped it being excellent e.g. intermittent tv remote, beside lamp not working and a luke- warm shower. They certainly didn't spoil our trip but, for me, prevent an excellent rating. I'd definitely stay here again though.

Sorry, I was totally disappointed
It was a surprise , bed was ok , room was warm . Bins had not been emptied, no handwash, no shower gel , all the containers were empty; good thing we had our own toiletries. The room was booked for 2 people but towels in the bathroom was for only 1 guests. Toilet roll was half used. No attention was taken to prepare the room. Arrived late so did not have the energy to say anything. Receptionist was welcoming and friendly, apart from that I would not rate the hotel, it definitely needs an update.

General overview
Comfortable and clean hotel. Pleasant staff who were very helpful. Nice restaurant and bar. Hotel is in a good area close to restaurants and bars within walking distance. The hotel is a little tired but this doesn’t take anything away from it it is just an observation and I would stay there again.

Great option for a stay
We chose this venue as it was an affordable option for a quick stop - we were so impressed! The rooms were spacious and quiet and beautifully appointed, there was a lovely woman on reception who suggested a great restaurant for dinner across the road, and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. All in all a great stay

Rooms could benefit from some TLC but great staff
Beautiful building with a lovely reception and dining room. Great staff but the room was in alright condition with the light falling out the ceiling and wallpaper peeling off. Bed was very comfy and the bathroom was very clean. Overall, the staff and cleanliness make this an average stay.

Banburys own Faulty Towers
Unfortunately the hotel had no lifts which when staying on the 3rd floor is an issue (I should have checked),No light bulb in my bedside light. The bar said it closed at 11pm but we arrived at 10.40pm and it was already closed due to an older couple being drunk and falling over, the said older couple went outside for a cigarette. We were sitting in the foyer and a waitress opened the door to talk to the drunk couple letting in the cold and cigarette smoke, when we mentioned this we were rudely told that "we are bringing them back in" which did not happen for another 5 minutes or so. The breakfast was farcical following a smoke alarm which went off at 7.30am for no more than 10 seconds the entire hotel arrived at breakfast within half an hour or so. Firstly no orange juice as they had ran out? its breakfast go buy some. No tea which when I mentioned it the waitress weighed the tea urn as if I was lying? No hot food was out and as soon as it came out it was gone so we waited for over an hour and a half to get some hot food. at 9.55am we were informed breakfast was closing at 10am and at 9.58am the breakfast buffet was finally all out and cleared away at 10am. You could not write this very unorganised
