Great place

The hotel is old and beautifully maintained, our room was spacious, very clean and comfortable, the service from the bar very freindly as was all the staff we spoke too
Ron, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, close to all amenities. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Many other interesting places only a small drive away. Hotel itself is nearly 400 years old, the whole building has plenty of interesting features. Room was large, clean and very comfortable overlookingthe lovely gardens. Tea, coffe and biscuits were provided.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely character hotel in great location.

A lovely hotel full of character. Our room was clean, had a new bathroom and overlooked the beautiful garden too which was a bonus. Breakfast was a perfect spread of cooked food and continental. Staff were all very friendly. Location is perfect, right in the town centre and an added bonus of free parking! Loved my stay.

Very friendlly helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Although hotel in nèed of updating our room was good and looked like it had recently been redone Booked for 2 nights but stayed for 4

Geat location but in need of serious updating

The hotel is very run down and in need of renovation. Having said that, the staff were friendly and the food was good. Whilst the rooom had peeling paint and stained carpet, the bed was comfortable and the bedding clean and crisp. Given what I paid for my 2 nights, I can't complain and you do get what you pay for. The location is great and there is plenty of free hotel parking. If you want a posh hotel, don't go there, but if you want a cheap hotel in a central location that competes with a Travel Lodge, then I would choose here every time.

Avoid this one

Dirty glasses in room dirty toilet, no hot water for shower, failed lightbulb in room limited choice of spirits in bar. Bed not great poor breakfast
gary, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Below standard in every way

This is a lovely building in the centre of Banbury, the rooms are in desperate need of modernisation and because of this don't feel clean. The restaurant was under staffed - one person working in the evening. Staff need customer service training - the waiter called me "mate" several times.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent service and quick check in. Clean room no problems whatsoever, will stay again.
Jamie, 1-night trip

Cold shower as no hot water !

Cold water in Morning, tea coffe at Breakfast was cold and or not available, other colleagues also had issues with cleanliness of their rooms so afraid we will not be using again!
LEE, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Have stayed here before, very recently. Then, rooms had recently been refurbished and were very good. This time, was put in the 1970s wing. The room was tired, the window had no handle (so couldn’t be closed) and the shower simply didn’t work in the morning. Was moved to a different room after explaining, and this too was very tired and the shower was poor. The settee was fit for the skip. No bedside light. Was really disappointed, after previous good experiences. Not sure I’ll use again in future.

1-night trip

6/10 Good

Such a beautiful old building. Sadly we were in the aging badly 70s wing. Duct taped carpets and paint patches set the tone as we intrepidly made our way to our ‘suite’ a sofa so old I could still make out the bum prints of the last guests & a bed which was two singles pushed together, hard and slipping so badly I dreamt I was in a plane crash. A stray hair on the toilet seat & blood on the sheets finished the picture. Service lacked enthusiasm or much interest. Turning a beautiful old building bar into a sports bar with hard low back seating & the world’s biggest TV didn’t resonate with the heritage of the building. A real shame as I’ve stayed in some lovely Mercure hotels before. Locals advised us when we found a bar open after 11.00 (not that the hotel offered us any advice) that we’d be best to stay at the three pigeons next time. A shame as visiting family
