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.

Check in was unprofessional tried to check in at 14.25pm. Told no check in until 15.00. Sitting and waiting for 15.00pm. A couple turn up at reception about 14.40pm and check in. Reception didn't say anything to us as sitting in reception. I thought rude. Next morning came down for breakfast had to wait for about 15 mins for a table after we sat down we had to ask for tea & coffee we had to ask for most of the stuff and wait.short staffed .lots people complaining. Nevaeh very helpfull .

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
