Sjarmerende gammelt hotell i Banbury
Et sjarmerende gammelt hotell beliggende svært sentralt i Banbury. Har bodd der flere ganger. Rommet bar preg av behov for renovering, men dette var tydeligvis på gang. Drar gjerne tilbake.

Filthy carpet, window broken, stains in the bath, absolutely stank of cigarettes. The corridors stank of mold and general filth. We were so disappointed, we were given a full refund for our stay as it was so bad we had to cut our trip short. If booking this hotel please make sure you check you are in the refurbished part of this hotel as the wing we were staying in has not been refurbished or cleaned properly. Everything needs replacing. The bedding is cheap. Honestly the worst room I have ever had the misfortune to stay in.

Location is great. Room was let down by a lack of TLC & cleanliness. Rooms at the back of the main old building have obviously been added on without the original character so don't expect that charm. Breakfast was really nice & plentiful. We would stay again.

We discovered the headboard of the bed was stained from peoples’ oily hair , shower was lime scaled and the bathroom needs upgrading very antiquated . Also faeces in the toilet when we arrived . One tv was obviously broken so they left that on the wall and stood another in fromt of it . No coffee sachets for a hot drink .

Hello Ivor,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.I am disappointed to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations on this occasion. Reception can only answer the phone if they are not dealing with guests or not on the main phone so apologies that you couldn't get an answer we do have to go to other departments in the hotel as well which takes us away from the desk but we are always as quick as possible.I am sorry that you didn't have any toiletries this was a complete oversight by house keeping and hopefully rectified for you upon asking. We are not able to have a lift, the building is listed/historic it wouldn't be allowed however if we are told of mobility issues beforehand we are able to allocate suitable rooms.I do hope you will stay again but please mention your mobility issues so that we are aware.Kind regards

The hotel is in a great location and is ok if you want a budget hotel in Banbury. There was a distinct lack of staff when we stayed and as a result we left without having the breakfast that we'd paid for as the staff simply couldn't keep up. The recently refurbished room we stayed in was clean but the quality of the renovations is not great and the hotel is shabby in places.

This hotel is an old building and when you are walking around the floor boards squeak something fierce, I booked into a junior suite for the bigger bed and maybe a little extra luxury but the room above had seriously squeaky flooring so I never slept much , we had one bath towel for two people , soap dispenser never worked properly and no ironing board or iron and no coffee machine , this was not a suite just a room with a big bed and a couch , not worth the extra cost if you stay here just take a double and ask I for new part of the hotel , the breakfast is ok no real complaints there staff were friendly, would stay again but would be a bit wiser with my choice of room , Banbury itself was great , this hotel as so much potential I will visit again

Hello Jay,The building is historic, incredibly old its creaks add to the character some say.The suites are considerably larger and have sofas and seating areas. There should of been an Iron and ironing board and a working soap dispenser, had we known at the time all this could of been rectified straight away.

This hotel was probably very good in it's day. It has recently changed hands and is in the process of being redecorated etc. We were in a classic room which was rather shabby. The walls and ceiling had been painted but the carpet needed cleaning or replacing. The chairs were quite frankly filthy. The bathroom was awful. The bath was rusty and water had obviously caused damage to the piping and tiles. Now to the good stuff. There was plenty of hot water and the towels were clean and soft. The bed was clean and extremely comfortable. The lady at the reception said they were fully booked so we couldn't move. She sent a lovely lady up to clean the bathroom. We stayed for 3 nights. We didn't eat there as we were visiting friends. There is a big free carpark at the back. Overall I think they are really trying to turn things around.

Pleasant, sprawling hotel near the town centre. Our room had problems when we arrived. It was cold, mainly because the window did not close properly, and there was no obvious heating control. Also the TV would not turn on. The staff were prompt in sending an engineer. He could not get the window properly closed, but sorted the thermostat control on the radiator, which solved the room temperature problem. He also explained a work-around to get the TV to come on. He explained that the hotel had recently come under new management and all the rooms were in process of being renovated.

Expedia site for this hotel showed lift with 100cm door. On checking in we were told there was no lift which caused great inconvenience for one of our party who found great difficulty in negotiating stairs particularly from first to second floor. There was no outer hand rail and this section was very steep. The restaurant was also closed on Sunday evening and this should also have been made known to us.

Hello Brian,Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review following you recent stay. You had booked a Classic room which is not in the main house, these rooms though perfectly clean have not yet been refurbished like the Main House but do have a lift access. As a gesture of goodwill we upgraded you FOC to a Deluxe room in the Main House as we thought it would be better for you, we wasn't aware of any mobility issues so I can only apologise. Our restaurant is closed on a Sunday evenings for now as Sundays are typically much quieter and the chefs and kitchen staff get an a well deserved evening off, this will be changing though as the hotel is getting busier.I do hope you understand and I am sorry if the complimentary upgrade and restaurant closure impacted badly on your stay.I do hope you will return in the near future.

Lovely spacious room. Think we must have had an upgrade as it was more than just a standard double room. Bed was huge and very comfy. Had a sofa in the room too. Breakfast was lovely and amazing for only £4 each! Overall thought it was really good value for money. Hotel has lots of character, free parking (through a very narrow opening) and about half the price of nearby Premier inn and a much nicer stay. I expect the prices will go up soon though once everyone hears it’s back open again.

I've stayed in this hotel before, but it seems to have had a management change (no longer Mercure). I reported a few issues: such as there being no milk in the room, the shower dispensers being empty and the wifi not working. Also, the cleaning staff entered the room before I'd checked out. I believe all of these are easily fixable with staff training. I hope to return.

Kamerdeur sluit niet, met een duwtje gaat ze vanzelf open, zelfs als ze ‘op slot’ is. Een lamp werkte niet, geen handzeep,…alles lijkt nogal afgemeten. We konden niet in de kamer vòor het normale incheckuur, nochtans was het hotel quasi leeg. Mooi gebouw, maar spijtig van de smakeloze architecturale ingrepen, gecombineerd met goedkoop nieuw meubilair (ontbijtruimte). Voor een prikje kan je tegenwoordig authentiek Engels meubilair vinden, dat perfect in een dergelijk mooi gebouw zou passen en veel warmer zou over komen.

As at Jan 15th 2024 the hotel has just been refurbished - only one week reopened. Excellent welcome, really goof breakfast, lovely staff. My room was very quiet, comfortable, good shower, though could have been a tad stronger. Only downside for me was the lack of Wifi out of the bar and breakfast area (i.e. not in my room - a disappointment tent, as I'd intended to do some work in prep for the next day). Careful driving needed through the passage to the parking area - only just enough clearance for a Qashqai - proximity alarms on most of the way through. The hotel is pleasant though, and right next to the Cross that features in the nursery rhyme! I wish them all the best in getting re-established: they're well placed as a base for anyone wanting to visit all sorts of attractiopmns, be it Oxford, Warwick, Coventry, Silverstone, Bicester, the Cotswolds, and they've even got a railway connection that'll take you into London or Birmingham.

Good location in Banbury and it's an OK hotel but highly dependant on which room you get. In the old building soundproofing is non existent and floor boards creak so loudly that you will be woken every time someone in a nearby room gets up or walks around.

The property was very tired - many marks in carpeting which felt unclean. The garden was basically worn grass. Our room was spacious; bad was comfortable. I booked through Expedia, which indicated breakfast was included, but it really wasn't. Banbury is not a lovely town. I recommend staying elsewhere.
