Central location. Include parking. All staff were superb and really could not do more, really noticed you as a guest, rather than you being just another person in the restaurant. Room was well proportioned, cleaned daily, fresh towels given. Had breakfast included in room rate which was delicious, ate one evening in restaurant, again very good food with plentiful portions

Not a dislike more an observation, communal areas of hotel in need of attention, carpets wearing on stairways, decorating needed.

I just loved the ambience and the aesthetic… so many lovely surprises like the toiletries, huge bath sheets of a wonderful fluffy quality, the size of our room and the fact it had a full length mirror - the provision of robes and a lighted cosmetic mirror - all exceeded my expectations

The only niggle was that the lighting was inadequate- no central light in the room and all of the lamps having black shades meant it was difficult to see whilst getting ready for our event . Having an additional free standing directional lamp would be good. But as everything else was so lovely this was a minor point

Olde worlde - nice decor - lovely bathrooms - super breakfast - friendly staff - clean - room v comfortable. Some nice touches. Would happily stay in Room 3 again.

Carpets are v tired in some areas - proper coffee in room would be great to have even if coffee bags - armchair in room would have been appreciated (was just stool in Room 3 but room plenty big enough for proper chair) - cafe area downstairs not as nice/cosy as rest of hotel - Sunday evening meal meal with friends was variable - starters v good and my main v tasty (fish&chips) but my friends not as happy (roast dinner was refunded - thank you). Staff excellent.

Room was cosy and quaint. (Upgraded for free to Executive with Booking.com so really good price and included breakfast.) Lots of old beams and wonky floor. Roll top bath with lovely overhead rain shower. Really liked the toiletries too. Big, white, fluffy towels. Bed was comfy and plenty of pillows. Room was nice and warm too and double glazing kept most of noise at bay. Even though fire door outside our room we never heard it closing. Ironing board and iron in room too. Breakfast was included with the deal we had which was plentiful and good choices.

Mirror in bathroom bit too high is you are a shorty, also switch for bathroom fan way too high. No drawers for clothing should you be staying more than one or two nights and nowhere to put suitcase other than floor. No chairs either other than one for desk. Room for at least one armchair I would say and small chest of drawers. Beware! Drinks are really expensive!! Food also expensive which would put us off going again unless maybe a for special occasion. Shame as food good. Service for breakfast was really slow, yes food cooked to order but very slow service. Maybe understaffed?? Had to ask for mushrooms and tomatoes as had been forgotten on my plate.

We were given an upgrade on our room( which was an added bonus ) very spacious, it was the honeymoon suite !! Although we were celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary, my wife is 76 and I am 88, so we had a great laugh about it,, breakfast was good, although some fresh fruit and yogurt would have been nice, on the whole we had a great time,the buses were right outside the hotel and Abbingdon is such a nice place to stay, plenty of walks along the river Thames

We had one problem, the water in the shower was so hot and we couldn't regulate it and so we had to use the bath which was a roll top and really hard to get out of, (bearing in mind our age !!!)

The room was as pictured, it was very clean and the facilities were good. It was lovely to have a freestanding bath and air-conditioning as the weather was very warm. The breakfast menu was great and the cooked breakfasts we had were delicious and really good quality. It was very handy to have free parking on site as well, and the staff were friendly.

It was all really good, but the parking was a bit difficult to find and the instructions provided by the hotel weren't particularly helpful. It would have been useful to have a bit more detail/better directions provided to help us find it.

Staff were lovely,very friendly.Had evening meal in onsite restaurant and breakfast included in room rate both very good.Hotel family room was nice and clean.

During our stay as was a Friday,the bar situated right opposite our room was very busy,therefore very loud.People in and out of the courtyard directly below us.As one of the guests was elderly she went to bed at nine and the noise continued until twelve thirty keeping her awake.This information would have been useful beforehand hand as they may have been a better room available to suit our needs.

First rate breakfast for choice, quality and service. Room and en-suite generally comfortable. A characterful building right in the town centre.

This very old building inevitably had a number of narrow steep stairs to our third-floor room. Our visit was in an unseasonably cold November and the bathroom wasn't very warm. The main bedroom relied on a (completely adequate) portable fan heater as the main system only blew cold air. A welcome pack of information would have helped but there was nothing.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The staff were all wonderfully friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, as were all the rooms we saw. The dining room was also really nice. Elegant upscale decor! Modern convenience without doing away with the beauty of the historical features. The food was great. What a breakfast! A la carte ordered off menu: English, Vegan English, cereals, pastries, Eggs Benedict, Salmon, sourdough toast, juices, excellent coffee, avocado toasts, pancakes, etc. We cannot say enough good things about this hotel. And Abingdon is a nice walkable town to visit.

The lighting in the room was almost non-existent except for the bathroom and next to the bed. It was hard to see in the closet and in our suitcases. There really needs to be some overhead lighting.

Lovely place. Excellent location if you're visiting Oxford by car. Abingdon also has its charms so convenient for that too. Room was nice, a bit on the smaller end, but perfectly comfortable. There are other options available. Tasty breakfast and an excellent variety to choose from. Fantastic staff!!! Friendly and welcoming! Kudos to the team! Definitely value for money so highly recommended. We will be staying again for sure.

The way to the rooms is riddled with stairs up and down in a very weird manner, but the building is historical so that is to be expected. Not sure if there are wheelchair accessible options. Minor details like some cobwebs left undisturbed after cleaning. Not a particular bother though. Cleaning was otherwise perfect!
