Staff really made an effort for the World Cup Final and everyone had a great time.

Our stay was not great!!! Our AC was not working in our room and the weather was extremely hot.. so was very uncomfortable to rest or sleep. They later brought fans to assist but it remained warm.

Also we didnt have any change of our towels or the garbage taken out of our room after our first night. They stated after the fact, that they dont dont do full service until the 4th day of stay which was not stated at check in. At least you can get change of towels and garbage disposal.

I don't know if I will stay there again... at least not in the summer time

Large room and comfortable bed. We hadn’t asked for what seemed to be a disabled room. It was a walk in shower only with curtains and a very large seat contraption taking up most of the showering area. The floor of the en-suite was soaking wet as the curtains were inadequate. We put up with it as we were only there a couple of nights. Very handy for the S5 bus into the city - Park & Ride just across the roundabout.

Two main issues for us:

No aircon. Very hot in summer. Ongoing hotel issue that is not getting fixed.

Family rooms too small when you have two children. There is literally no space to walk & you hit the side if you need to walk around.

Parking expensive.

Breakfast not great for vegetarians, poor quality. If you eat pork its ok. I would rather pay for a better quality breakfast.

Rooms clean, staff lovely.

Nice hotel but felt completely ripped off having to pay £7 for parking, especially when the hotel is no where near anything. They tell you it’s £14 and you get 50% off by staying at the hotel but it’s just part of the scam.

Stayed here very recently for a few nights for a family wedding nearby. The property itself feels almost brand-new, and it was impossible to find fault with anything. From start to finish we had a fantastic stay - every single member of staff we encountered at the desks, breakfast, and cleaners, were incredibly polite and helpful. The facilities were great (excellent hot shower), beds were huge and breakfast was fantastic, even catering for my gluten-free dad. Would 100% recommend this hotel for your next stay.

Checkin was efficiently done by the most helpful male receptionist. The room was well thought out and had everything you could need, although possibly a little basic. Breakfast exceeded my expectations and was very nice. I did think £30 extra for my dog was a little excessive as they don't provide anything extra for this. The location of the hotel is a short walk to Bicester Village. I would stay here again to visit the outlet village, or surrounding area.

Excellent hotel, we went with our daughter for her 6th birthday. It was a perfect family friendly stay. There’s a map and fox hunt from reception for them, the pool is available all day & sweets at breakfast, a 6 year olds dream! Location is fab too, 10 mins from a tube, so a more relaxed atmosphere but still walking distance to plenty of food & tourist spots. Would highly recommend.

Everything was great apart from an odour coming from the bathroom. I think is was from one or both drains. I didn’t notice is as bad if I closed the shower door.

I only stayed one night . The staff were very helpful & polite .
The rooms were very comfortable and everything you needed in them , iron , ironing board & hairdryer.
The Resteruant the food was lovely very tasty , and the breakfast had a large selection .
We did park right outside the entrance of the hotel in the car park - it did cost a separate price to the room which was £14 for parking.

Easy to find, good parking, good variety for breakfast. Comfortable room and quiet. Evening menu, not a great choice of options, had the fish and chips which was good, accompanying peas were a little hard.

Very supportive staff who are both caring and kind.

Rooms were good, breakfast was good and fresh, parking costs £7.00 a night with there discount but I don't think you should have to pay if you are staying there. Staff were good one inperticular his name was kit, he found out it was our 44th anniversary and he bought us a drink.

We were happy with the service received. The hotel was easy to find and slightly away from the hustle and bustle that you find closer to Bicester village shopping which was nice. The building is modern and clean, the carpark accommodates comfortably.
The staff at the reception desk were smiley and pleasant to speak to, they also gave us a discount code for parking so it was £7 for 24 hours. Our room was on the fourth floor right at the end of the building, it was clean. The bathroom was a good size, no signs of mould or dirt. The room was a good size, bed comfortable, everything appeared clean and we had no complaints. The window was able to open slightly which was nice, as sometimes if I’m higher up in a hotel I feel claustrophobic if the windows do not open. Great long mirror in the room and good lighting. I didn’t take up the offer of a free breakfast however menu looks good and bar is 24 hours. Overall happy with the service, would recommend.

I had really bad experience to stay there. One of the things I don't understand why they took away room phone. You can get room service at all. You can not contact front desk from your room at all. Really bad idea. Room was not clean. room was cold. We have been offered a heater but out of power right after I plugged in.

The drains made the room smell. When not in use we had to cover the shower drain, the sink drains and shut any vents. Keeping the bathroom door shut and window slightly open. We were only there 1 night and tired so this was preferable than the hassle of staff investigation and potentially having to move rooms.

When we arrived, we was greeted by the friendly staff which couldn't do enough for you but what they failed to mention was there was there was no heating in some of the rooms? Until we actually went back down to reception and asked them then they made us aware of the situation which was not very good as my partner has a heart problem not to mention some of the party we was with in their 90s. This is why I have given a poor service although when I did complain, I was offered a free drink and a free snack but that doesn't make it right. They should've informed us prior to us going to the room. It was freezing cold when we got there.

Breakfast was very good and we were seated quickly. The room was clean, although the pillows were a bit hard and there were only two towels provided despite there being four of us.

All of the staff were friendly and polite throughout our stay. The hotel manager, Richard (I believe), was exceptional. He couldn’t do enough to help and was constantly on the move, supporting different departments. It was genuinely refreshing to see such great, old-fashioned customer service.

Check-in was good, staff were pleasant and the process was quick and efficient.

The main issue was breakfast. It was extremely overcrowded with nowhere to sit, and the entire buffet was constantly running out of food, not just croissants and juice. Hot items, pastries, and other options were repeatedly empty, making it frustrating to get a proper breakfast. The area felt completely under-resourced for the number of guests being catered for.

When a table finally became free, it was wiped down quickly but still left dirty, and the floor was also dirty. Overall, breakfast was very disappointing and let down an otherwise decent stay.

Staff amd location were great however we had a family room for 2 adults and 2 kids. The sofa bed for kids was awful. Far too small and only really for 2 kids under 10. The bed was also on an incline and sloped toward the end. You could also feel every spring below the mattress and dangerous with all the mechanism of the sofa bed exposed. Easy for fingers to be caught.worst hotel sleep I’ve ever had. Breakfast and staff were fabulous shame the room didn’t match

We had very good sleep at a big, clean and high standard room. Great location for shopping (about 15 mins walk to Bicester Village, outlet shops and garden centre). Breakfast options were good. We are repeat customers happy to come back. There’s one thing that could be improved, 15 mins before our check out time the house keeper knocked and opened our door while I was in the bathroom. I had hung the notice (We are still in sign) on the door and use the inside lock. I have spoken and mentioned it to the receptionist Daniel. He was so helpful. I hope the train their housekeeper better. But in overall, we are happy with this hotel and we will be back.

First time in a Holiday Inn and very impressed! Extremely clean, spacious rooms and great shower! The free breakfast was great as well, better than some hotel breakfasts you pay for. Super convenient for Bicester Village too, literally a 4 min drive. Would look to stay in a Holiday Inn over some of their competitors in the future.
