The member of staff on reception was nice. The room overlooked the gardens which was lovely. The room was lovely and spacious and very clean. The only thing I noticed what was wrong with the room was the ceiling in the bathroom looked like it had a leak coming from it. The shower didn’t seem to have much water pressure in the morning.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was admittely a bargain at £77 but if there is a bedside light in situ, I would have expected a bulb and a shade. The bathroom was a shock as the silicone around all tiles was black in places. I decided not to shower in the morning.... Beds on plus side were comfy.

Very nice looking building, is looking a bit tired inside in some areas, room was ok but does require some maintenance (bathroom door didn’t work properly, shower leaking and running under floor tiles which squeezed out every time you walked on them ) Bed very comfortable Would definitely stay again

Great hotel and great value for money. Set in the heart of Banbury we were given a newly refurbished room overlooking the gardens. Good size room, bed and bathroom. Very clean. Do shop around for bookings as there are lots of different prices on different sites. In our case Expedia gave the best rate.
