Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were disappointing, with dust, tired decor, and various maintenance issues, making them feel overpriced. The lack of air conditioning was a significant drawback. However, the staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient for exploring Banbury's sights, but the neglected rooms might deter a return stay. The dining experience was pleasant overall.
The hotel was clean and spacious, despite feeling a bit outdated. The advertised price was higher than expected, but the fantastic breakfast made up for it. The location was perfect for exploring Banbury, with a historic charm that we desired. However, there were some issues with the plasterwork and the next-door television noise.
The hotel offers rooms up to the highest standards of cleanliness and is highly recommended. However, upon arrival, my room wasn't ready or clean, which was a downside. The service provided by the friendly and helpful staff during my 3-night break was efficient and they seemed happy in their work.
