Breakfast quality was great but we were made to feel unwanted and uncomfortable on one of the three mornings as we had a dog even though the table we had sat at before was available. Policy needs to be made clear to visitors and staff as we paid extra for dog friendly

Good Stay

The hotel is lovely overall, but the thing about older buildings is that they need a LOT of upkeep. The floors in the upper rooms are very uneven, so if you have any disabilities where balance is an issue, request a room on the ground floor. Otherwise, clean, relatively quiet and nice stay.

Value market town hotel...

This is just a tired hotel. The staff and management are friendly enough, the bed was comfy, fan appreciated, the food was good, and breakfast excellent, it just needs a head to toe refresh. Covid and Brexit obviously hasn't helped and getting experienced staff seems to be a challenge. But the component parts were all good enough and if you want to stay in Thame, this is a great option. Thank you for looking after us.

Needs a lot of improvement decorating wise. Public bar and restaurant were good. Stair ways and hall ways needed a good clean and vacuum. Bathroom door did not close. Blown plaster and damp on ceilings Decor in room needs updating, lamp shades were tatty and not even straight.

Never again ! Awful !

This was by far the worst hotel I have ever booked via Hotel.com The hotel was expensive, the so called ‘suite’ had a bare room with two chairs and a side table and the condition of this room, the bed room and bathroom was appalling! Breakfast was a joke ! Very little choice, poorly presented, 3 of the 6 items on cooked menu were subject to a surcharge and one member of the staff team was so rude that if he worked for me I would have sacked him on the spot !! Other hotel guests were also raising the same concerns and we will all await for the manager to contact us !!! Overall I will be seeking a full refund and WOULD NOT recommend this hotel to my worse enemy!!

The room was clean and pleasant with an outdoor seating area. The parking was convenient if not cheap. I had intended to dine in the hotel restaurant on my one night stay, but there was no one around to welcome me, show me to a table, hand me a menu etc so I ate elsewhere.

Disappointing stay

I have stayed here previously a few years ago now.But today it is looking rather tired. It needs a refurbishment and bringing up to date. The tv didn't work very well the toiletries were in sufficient. there was a very loud noisey pump next to the bedroom wall. The breakfast menu was very limited in its options. Needfess to say i ate out every night during my stay.
