Hotels near Oxford Downs Cricket Club, West Oxfordshire District

The room was okay, but the front desk service was very poor. I felt like I owed her money. The room I wanted to renew asked me to change to a room at the bottom level. If I wanted to stay in the original room, it cost +30 pounds. It was a money grab. The service experience was okay. It's not as good as a backpacker hotel. The room facilities are complete, which is good, but the bathroom is very, very small.

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.

We stayed here using a golf break deal that they had on at the time - just over £100 each for a night in the hotel, 2 rounds of golf, a 2-course dinner and a breakfast. That alone was really good value for money! When we arrived, they upgraded our room for free as it hadn't been filled - first example of amazing customer service! The dinner menu and the food was amazing, and we have decided to come back just for the chance of ordering something different next time. We found the curry a bit too spicy and they offered us a free dessert to make up for it - second example of amazing customer service! The rooms are impeccable, spacious and clean. Good beds. The golf course is thoughtfully designed, although the greens are very unforgiving! We enjoyed the challenge. We did not use the spa facilities on our stay.

Stayed here for 1 night as it was close to the 02. Very limited car park on site do had to park on the street. Should have turned around at the front door which was very uninviting. Green fish tanks in the hallway and bags of stuff. Went through to the back room to check in. Absolute bomb site, paperwork and junk everywhere. Chinese man took payment and showed us to our room. Room was freezing as all the windows were open. Probably to get rid of any lurking smells. Checked the bed first, bedding was actually crisp, white and clean. Curtains were all ripped, furniture needed replacing, mattress was too small for the bed so had a bit gap where you could see cardboard covering the slats. Bathroom was somewhat clean but needed a major redo. When we returned after our night out we struggled to get in the front door. The key doesn’t fit right. During the night the front door rang so others obviously had the same problem. My partner turned over a couple of times when he got into bed and felt the slats give way so he spent the whole night frozen to one spot in case he fell through the bed. I slept quite well considering. Didn’t bother with the shower the next morning was safer to wait til I got home. Left the keys on the bedside table and got out fast. Will definitely not be staying here again. Feels dirty, unsafe and needs major improvement. Only good point was the location was 5 mins walk to the 02.

It was a short trip to Oxford and we booked one night stay at this hotel. Location was very good as its only short bus ride away from Oxford town centre. The room was clean and spacious for the three of us. Would totally recommend it to others.

Looking at previous reviews of this hotel, I can only think that our experience here was an unusual one but we were quite disappointed with our stay. Our room (3) was tiny (in hindsight we should have booked a more expensive one), and was uncomfortably small for two people with nowhere to put bags down or hang up clothes apart from a few hangers on coat hooks. The lighting was poor and it had a very rattly industrial fire door into the bathroom, which seemed amusing at first, but wasn’t quite so funny in the middle of the night when it clanged shut if you let it go! In fairness, other rooms on the websight looked gorgeous, I wish we’d booked one of those! Not the hotel’s fault, we just expected our room to be better for the price. Also disappointing was that the food on both nights was below average with limited menu choice and lots of dishes being unavailable.. This was a shame because it was my birthday ‘treat’ but fell far short of what we expected from a so called ‘luxury’ hotel. I can only think they were having a couple of off days and we were just unlucky. On a positive note, it’s a very eclectic place, decor is rustic, bordering on scruffy but still interesting, the staff are very friendly and the bar and restaurant have a warm and welcoming atmosphere, but when we were there the poor staff were run off their feet which resulted in patchy service and difficulty reserving a table, However, despite the problems the staff were very nice people especially the bar manager who tried her best to make up for the various menu shortfalls and discounted our drinks and food bill as an apology, which we very much aporeciated, but sadly I still don’t look back on our stay and feel that it was all that great, not really as special as we hoped it would be given all the hype. Based on our experience I wouldn’t recommend it or go again.

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.

This is a perfect hotel, don't know why there are no reviews? It may be newly opened, everything is perfect, we arrived late, but the counter staff were very friendly and helpful with our luggage, there is a restaurant downstairs, hungry is not a problem! The room is very clean and new, very beautiful and comfortable, just like in the picture, I am really lucky to be able to live in this kind of hotel here! There is enough parking at the door, and it only takes 20 minutes to get to Oxford. If I have a chance in the future, I will come again! There are no comments here, I am afraid that everyone will miss such a good restaurant, so come up and write a comment!

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
