Top Abingdon Hotel Reviews

De Vere Wokefield Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were super friendly. There’s a £30 surcharge for a dog but for that he got a super comfy bed and bowl which made his stay a real treat. Didn’t get a chance to use pool but did walk around the very pleasant grounds. When we arrived we were concerned that with two events going on we might not get much sleep however the soundproofing was excellent, didn’t disturb us at all. Room in the Mansion House was clean and well appointed with a lovely super king bed. Breakfast good and plentiful parking although I’m guessing there may have been issues with width of spaces in the past as we saw many cars straddling two spaces :) Didn’t cause us any issues though. We’d love to head back!"

Oxford Belfry Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"There were not enough staff in the Restaurant or the Bar. At Breakfast, tables were not cleared; Food items not replenished etc. Staff were trying hard though it seemed. Only one person at the Bar at one stage who had clearly not been trained sufficiently e.g. she did not know how to open a bottle of wine with a corkscrew and it broke."

Novotel Reading Centre

8/10 Good

"Generally good, the bed was comfortable and the room clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and parking was easy and plentiful. It's a take of two halves though; whilst the hotel was perfectly adequate in terms of cleanliness, staff, location, etc, the room I had was in one of the neighbouring buildings, which wasn't a problem in itself but the grounds looked very neglected, especially the view through my window to the rear (overgrown/unkempt, bags of garden waste that had obviously been there while, etc), and the landscaping in the parking area at the front, which left a poor impression - though the ease of access and parking was a positive. Carpets in the hallway and room were starting to look dated. The room itself was in some ways well appointed with a microwave and fridge (though I only stayed one night so needed neither) but at the same time was very large, with a lot of empty space (just one seat in a double room) and a fixed desk - a couple of more comfortable chairs (and maybe even a small coffee table) would have made it feel less empty. Overall, I'd stay again if I were in the area as the basics were there and the stay was perfectly adequate, and I appreciated the microwave and fridge, but it could really do with someone looking at the details; there's a lot of potential for it to be much better."

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was absolutely lovely and we really enjoyed it. Having the evening meal as part of the package was great too — the food was very good, and we’d definitely try the steak again. The staff were so friendly, the grounds were lovely, and our hotel room was very clean. We’d definitely recommend visiting again💚"
