Pleasant staff, some of the carpet and decor in need of some refurbishment and doors banging many times from adjacent rooms need some sound proofing but all in all value for money.

Great hotel. Very friendly staff. Perfect position in Banbury. We particularly loved the sound of the church bells.... something you don't get to hear as often now.

This main hotel building is stunning, however the majority of the rooms are at the back in a more modern section. The room we had was great in that it was newly decorated and had a separate lounge space. The only downside is how hot it was, despite having a fan, as you couldn’t open the windows very wide due to being on the 4th floor. It’s a quirky place, but suited us perfectly for being in the centre of Banbury in walking distance of the centre. The staff were also friendly, and we were grateful they had night staff to let us in gone midnight!
