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 .

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.
