Oxford Cowley hotel

This was a lovely Premier Inn. Great staff, especially Silva, and a lovely breakfast. I would definitely be happy to stay again.

Easy to find. Check in was also very easy although you have to pay for parking which I found disappointing.Despite it being automated check in there are reception staff to assist with anything you may need. I found my room to be very clean and the bed very comfortable. I had pre-booked the ultimate unlimited breakfast and have to say it excellent value for money and there's plenty of choice. The staff throughout were always very polite and helpful. My stay was for 7 nights and I would have given it 5 stars however the price of my room varied for each day so it was more expensive than I'd hoped for, plus having to pay for parking was also a small negative. Overall though I would have no hesitation in booking again. Once again many thanks to all the staff for making my stay a very pleasant one.

We were initially given 2 rooms right by the bypass which was not great at all. Traffic noise could be heard even with the windows closed. There was also a manifold cover which would make a noise whenever someone drove over it making even more noise. Also even with the curtains drawn the room would get a shadow go across which further impacted sleep. When we complained to reception they were able to swap one of our rooms to the other building but unfortunately not both so not a very good night's sleep at all. The main building itself was nice enough but be warned there is a chance you could be in the other building. Would we stay here again? Unfortunately not as just too noisy to get a decent night's sleep.

We had two 'Premier Plus' rooms. One was ok - basic but acceptable. The other had a very strong smell of damp and mould as though there had been a leak that wasn't properly rectified. We arrived late and were leaving early so couldn't face making a complaint that night. This was a budget trip costing only £450 for two rooms for the night inc breakfast so my expectations weren't high but the room was awful.

Location easy enough to find. Short bus ride into and out of the city centre. Hotel pretty much as expected. Food was average in the Beefeater next door. Be wary if you want a drink later on and check before you head out. They decided that as it wasn't busy, they would close at 10pm. Bit remote for finding alternative post football match drinks.
