Banbury (M40, J11) Hotel

Eigentlich o.k., aber leider hatte ich ein ekeliges Zimmer(334). StinkenderTeppich, ekelige Flecken auf der Sitzliege, eine Dusche die schon lange keine Reinigung erhalten hat und die Halterung aus der Wand fällt.....es war nicht wirklich angenehm.

Trotz der sehr nahen Lage an der Autobahn und vielen Zimmern im Hotel: Sehr ruhig. Der Schallschutz ist erstklassig! Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls wie in allen Premier Inn vorzüglich. Zusätzlicher Vorteil: auch Rührei usw. gibt es hier am Buffet. Das macht es noch schneller wenn man unter Zeitdruck stehen sollte. Auch der Check In und Check Out sind an den neuen Automaten sehr schnell erledigt. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen!

Conveniently located with free parking close to M40. Unfortunately the post code on my booking took me to a dead end about 15 mins from the hotel, then found an alternative post code which worked. The bathroom was different to any experienced at Premier Inn previously, and felt cramped, and shower curtain wasnt long enough so shower sprayed onto bathroom floor. The sink required a bit of a stretch to use, and the plug wasnt very good at emptying. One of the poorest Premier Inn experiences. Food available was fine, with a Costa Coffee and Hotel Chocolat close by

Lovely hotel, but other visitors weren’t considerate as visitors were shouting from early hours all night. No security were around to monitor this. As you can appreciate when you have had a long day, this isn’t acceptable. Corridors should be monitored throughout.

This was our first of three stops on this trip. We were booked in for 2 nights. Price was good and Banbury area was somewhere we had not explored previously. We had an accessible room- this was on the 2nd floor but was fairly near the lifts. Room was a good size, the bed was large and comfy, and the bathroom was fine. Just the usual niggle- the shower head was at its higest point - a struggle to get down. If I was wheelchair bound I would have needed help (Any hotel reading this- in accessible rooms please leave the shower head at its lowest it is easier for tall people to raise than short to lower!) It looked like I had drowned the wetroom but it did dry out quickly so that is a win. We needed extra towels- provided in a flash when requested. Breakfast was the normal all you want. A full breakfast for me, and continental for mum and... the toaster actually toasted the bread in one pass!!! We did eat there one evening and it was.. ok.. nothing special and of course my first choice was unavailable so ended up having the shatring starter as a main! The other evening we got a Greggs too good to go bag from the garage just down the road (a rather well stocked mini Asda) That did us just fine. RIght outside the Premier Inn is a Hotel Chocolate with a Costa next to it. A short drive away is a small retail park (the roundabout is really confusing- you will be in the wrong lane lol) A good stay and yes we would visit again if in the area.
