Best Western Banbury House Hotel

I stay here quite often and they really do look after you, I sometimes book late or have to cancel and it’s never a problem. Reception staff are friendly and accommodating. Some of the rooms are dated but the beds are comfortable and the rooms clean. Most Executive rooms have king size beds. Bar is a bit limited in selection but it’s a nice environment with modern decor. They have started to offer daily bar food specials which are good value for a hotel. Ask for a room at the back if you are a light sleeper as the road to the front can be noisy. Rear facing rooms are very peaceful. Breakfast does not start until 7 but it’s a good selection and freshly cooked. Overall a great value hotel with friendly service and in a great central location. less

I spent a night here earlier this week. The location is good, just a short walk from the town centre, with plenty of car parking space. Check in was quick and easy, and the staff were friendly. No lift which was a bit of a pain with a large suitcase, but my room was only on the 1st floor. The room was on the small side, but was clean and well decorated. Plenty of tea /coffee, enough storage space, a comfortable bed and a decent ensuite. No extra pillows provided though, and not enough towels in my opinion. The bar is reasonably priced, but the drinks options were very limited (only one draught beer) and the lady serving was a bit strange- I paid by card for my drinks, to which she asked if I was trying to keep my expenses down, which I thought a little rude, and odd given that in this day and age most people pay by card for everything! On the flip side, I ordered room service and the food wasn't bad and the service was excellent. So a bit of a mixed experience, but certainly not a bad place for a night or two in Banbury. less

Pros :- Great hotel, Very good breakfast (choice and quality of food) Close to the town centre with free car parking. Room was spacious and bathroom also (had full size bath and shower above) Cons...noise from wedding (Sat night till 11-12pm) creaking floorboards (we were on the top floor, fear the folk below us may have heard our every trip to the bathroom!!) and room was always warm...fan provided was on almost all the time we were in the room.(window only part opened !!) less

We stayed here on sunday for the night being bank holiday weekend! check in was fast and welcoming, but we noticed reception area on tables were full of cups and glasses which could have been tidy when you enter a hotel, so abit messy on first appearance of the hotel.... Car park was fine, there are enough spaces so no problem there. We opted for a drink at the bar when we arrived, but found the selection was pretty poor, no draught guinness for my hubby and no prosecco for me! so we headed out to find a bar around Banbury town. We booked a double superior bedroom which was spacious and clean, but the window wouldn't open and the room was hot so it was quite an uncomfortable night stay unfortunately, also the pillows were terrible floppy and soft which gave me a bad neck the next morning, not very comfortable... The shower is VERY VERY HOT and it could burn you if you turn the dial the wrong way and I noticed there was no HOT WATER sign in the bathroom, so be careful!! The only good thing was the breakfast, it had enough cold buffet selection and a lovely cooked breakfast which was really lovely, its a hard to find a hotel now that offers a cooked breakfast than the usual hot buffet which we actually are not fans off! The lady at breakfast was very friendly, smiley and very efficient! So in all it was an ok stay, so may return purely for the breakfast!!! less

Stayed 1 night 1 person so room was big enough for 1 Ate in the restaurant rib eye was ok staff very friendly Breakfast was ok and had plenty of cold options Got a parking space had a wedding on so space tight less
