Hotels near Illyria Pottery, Oxford

Brilliant location very close to town, this was booked for my guys. Breakfast has a wide selection friendly staff. The bar is 24 hours. This time I selected standard family room which was 1 double bed and a sofa bed more than suitable. Free parking. I would definitely recommend the best western at Oxford.

The hotel is located in a convenient location where we can easily commute around the city centre and the Bicester village. Sadia was really nice and helpful. She greeted us with a warm welcome. Rooms were quite small but they are clean and tidy. Overall, it was a great time staying at the hotel.

Hotel staff polite and courteous. Rooms clean and spacious, lovely fresh smell as we went into room. Location perfect, nice walk to Oxford City Centre or plenty of opportunity to take a bus from nearby stop. Breakfast delicious with plenty of variety to cater for everyone. Meals in restaurant absolutely delicious. I would thoroughly recommend a stay in this hotel. This was our second stay

Nice hotel. Staff are cordial but the amenities need to be reviewed and made up to date. No landline to ring the reception for any service needed, had to go all the way downstairs to the reception to make a complaint on a toilet that’s refused to flush. Shower not working, couldn’t flush the toilet until I applied much pressure on the flush handle. Would’ve been great if the amenities are up to date (for the lack of a better word).

I use many different hotels on a monthly basis however this was my first visit at this hotel. I want to congratulate the team at holiday inn Oxford as I had an enjoyable stay and everything was clean and tidy. I was greeted with a warm welcome and although the hotel was busy the staff were very accommodating.The bar staff were very friendly but I would like to especially mention Lauren who served me with a smile and was very efficient considering how busy the bar was. Thank you for an enjoyable experience and I hope to return soon (14/10/22)

Returned from 4 night stay at Hawkwell House Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. To begin with I booked direct with the hotel, not wanting the corporate Mecure website and got exactly what I wanted... great customer service. Chavi was extremely helpful. The hotel itself is well situated, about 10-15 minutes on bus to Oxford City Centre (stop on Iffley turn). The hotel was clean, staff friendly, food good for both breakfast (good choice) and evening. We ate in the bar twice. Only a couple of possible notes of potential improvement. It would be handy to have a note in the room to remind guests of meal times (breakfast). I realise most paper was removed under Covid but there was an Oxfordshire brochure. Perhaps something to program into the TV? Similar to another review, a water pump type noise would come on in our room in the early hours of the morning. This sounded like the air con/heater and whilst not major it may need investigating. It's similar to work's and we didn't need to use anyway but perhaps instructions may be beneficial for guests? Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if ever Oxford way again would definitely come back! Thank you.

We enjoyed the carvery at Hilton Garden Inn Abingdon this weekend. We were a party of 10, with ages ranging from late teens to early 80s. The hotel is lovely, with a warm welcome on arrival from the staff at reception. We sat in the bar for a while as we waited for all of our party to arrive. The bar is welcoming and comfortable and the drinks reasonably priced. At 12:30 we made our way to the restaurant and waited for a while to be seated. This was our first visit to the carvery and it would have been useful for a member of staff to explain the process to us - but we watched what other customers were doing and followed suit. The 3 course lunch is all self service and drinks are obtained from the bar. For starter there was a choice of soup with homemade bread and salad with cold meats. I had the salad and it was very nice, especially the potato salad which was delicious. The carvery was fantastic. With a choice of pork, beef and chicken, potatoes, cauliflower cheese, mixed vegetables and Yorkshire puddings. Unfortunately some of the serving platters were empty when we got there and we had to wait a while for them to be refilled. I imagine this was due to the sitting starting at 12:30 so an immediate rush of people. The beef was absolutely delicious, as were the potatoes and the Yorkshire puddings were truly scrumptious. I understand from one of my guests that the chicken was perfection. The vegetables were undercooked for my taste but the cauliflower cheese was lovely. We had a really great meal. There were a few improvements that could be made to improve the experience but nothing to put me off going back for another family birthday in a few weeks time.

Was perfect for the use we needed. Spent a day in Bicester village, hotel is 2 mins from the shopping village. Very nice inside and was a great place to relax after shopping. Only bad part is having to pay for parking.

We have stayed at these hotels in America and was pleased to see they are now available in the U.K. The rooms are large and spacious, with modern decor. The room was extremely clean and the bed comfortable. Air-conditioning, a large TV and kettle is provided, plus adequate storage / wardrobe space. There is a handy phone app that can be used to organise pre-check in and for ordering additional towels and bedding. I was also able to use the chat feature, to speak to the hotel staff ahead of arrival. There is the nice feature of enabling a blue tooth room key, although I was unable to get this to work on my iPhone. The fitness centre is well equipped and the staff very helpful. When booking hotels in the future, the Marriott Courtyard will be my brand of choice.

Sadly there is no breakfast available prior to 8am. For a businessman this is in practical. The online chat function is not available as advertised. The phone number advertised did not work. Not a great experience but room was excellent. A missed opportunity
