Comfortable no frills stay

Comfortable stay. Convenient location. No staff though - more like an E-Hotel. We booked 2 rooms and could only check into 1. Had to call a helpline to get into the other room. Otherwise, good sized, clean and comfortable rooms in the centre of Abingdon.

Hotel is a bit of a misnomer for this place: it is nice and convenient but it certainly is not a hotel. Guesthouse would describe it best. The check-in is automated and there is nobody on the premises. For a stop it is nice if you don't need the fascilities of a regular hotel.

Automated check-in dispensed a duplicate key to a complete stranger who didn’t check his confirmation email for room number and then tried to assert rights over my room. Most disconcerting.

Unique stay

I had a small room on the top floor but it was clean and had everything I needed. There are no elevators either so keep that in mind. Check in was electronic through a kiosk. The location was convenient in town with a lot of walkable dining options.

Great apart from automated check in

How odd that there is NO one who works there. There is a bank like machine that gives you your key, but no one who actually works on site. The room was great, very quiet and quite large, but no people on site. Breakfast and dinner at the Crown and Thistle were great and a 20% discount but you must ask.

Amazing as always

I always enjoy my stay here - the building is beautifully renovated with fantastic interiors but keeping the charm of the house too. Self check in, but always someone on the other end of the phone should you need it.
