The hotel was convenient for the town centre and Blenheim Palace.
It could do with some tlc, but was ok for the price.
The staff were very friendly and the attached restaurant was nice.
I know it's a budget hotel, but when your rooms are more expensive than the local Travelodge I was expecting them to be on-par or exceeding the quality of the local Travelodge. The TV was laughable, the coffee was laughable, the "complimentary toiletries" were non-existent. The breakfast was lackluster, especially considering the professional kitchen at their disposal. Should have got a Travelodge

We couldn't get the shower to work but was quickly remedied. The room is a bit tired and smelt of damp, which to a degree is to be expected in an old building but was a bit overbearing at times

Ignore any negative reviews. If you're paying this price, it's fair to expect a few compromises. But a comfortable night's sleep and a filling breakfast was very welcome. The staff are friendly and the curry for dinner was just what the doctor ordered.

Limited parking, the hotel was clean and friendly staff. The bathroom was tiny and shower not brilliant but bed was comfy. It smelled all night of the food they cooked that was the only down fall but for one night stay was cheap and cheerful.
Central location, we managed to find the last parking space. Our room wasn’t the best in terms of size or style, with water ingress in the walls around electrical points. The basin tap was also worryingly loose. The decoration to the common areas and carpet on the site could do with renewing. Good choices at breakfast. The stay was good value overall.
Great service, friendly staff, room good, would recommend

Asked for gluten free toast and they didn't have any. Most hotels now freeze a loaf for gluten intolerant guests.
Otherwise good basic hotel for a one night stay in Witney.

Was nice enough..room decor was very "tired", shower water in morning wasnt hot...and they didnt serve breakfast till after 8am, and we needed to leave by 7.45am...pleasant, helpful staff.
Great staff, nice and friendly, room was generally clean and tidy
Food was excellent
Down side walls are so thin I was kept awake by with people snoring, coming and going or going to the toilet
Black mold in the shower so could do with refreshing in the grouting.
Also even thou I had the do not disturb sign in the door they knocked and wanted to clean 😞
As a short hop stay for 2 days it was ok
