Best Western Banbury House Hotel

Sadly my stay was not good. Having worked all day I’d been looking forward to a relaxing time at the hotel. Booked a table for my evening meal only to find there was no provision for people who don’t eat meat or dairy. I follow a plant based diet. This seemed to stump the restaurant staff!! So I made do with a bowl of salad leaves and chopped tomatoes and token boiled potatoes. I really wish hotels realised vegans are on the increase and we also like to eat good quality tasty food ..... just leave the meat out. My room was basic, but clean - internet access was rubbish so I wasn’t able to do any work via the net in my room. Bed was fine, however I was woken up at 6.30 by noisey voices in the corridor outside my room. A member of hotel staff was knocking on room 143 to wake the guest.......only to realise he was knocking on the wrong door!! Having woken up the guest I could hear both of them. The hotel staff member apologising profusely and an angry sleepy hotel guest who like myself had been sound asleep!! I gave up on sleep from that point so it made it a long day! I won’t bother with this hotel chain again until their menu improves. In the meantime I shall take my business both corporate bookings and personal bookings elsewhere. less

Stayed for one night on business. Hotel pretty full. Was given room 6 - if you are offered that one ask to be moved - the smoking area is directly outside the window in the room so you can either keep the window closed and bake in the room (no aircon) or you can open the window and have a dose of secondary smoking. Either way you get to hear people on their phones and generally chatting while they have their cigarette. Room smelt a bit stuffy - guess the last guests decided on the bake option. Then strangely at around 8pm started getting the noise of hammering and power tools (especially a hammer drill) in what seemed to be a room nearby (turned out to be a room on the floor above). After an hour of this I eventually phoned reception who advised me that the hotel was being rennovated. I suggested this would in most hotels be done during the day when most guests were out and they offered no explanation but said they should be finishing sometime soon. I asked them to get them to stop now - I had an early start the next morning - and to be fair the noise did then stop within 5 minutes. Not a comfortable and relaxing stay! less

Hastily arranged visit, good facility for disabled parking,friendly reception especially when an error in double booking was reconciled. Slight disapiontment that dinning room was closed on a Sunday night, but service and bar menu choice was very good.Breakfast was a "trensher meal",with two of every thing. Steps and stairs to rooms etc, not the easiest for we "oldies" but level of comfort and, attention to detail more than compensated.Will certainly use again less

This charming Hotel is easy to spot while passimg through Banbury, only the parking is bit tricky to find. Once you got lucky, parkimg accomodates even mid-size cars. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Some corner are at the edge of charming to worn - there some makeover in the near future might be appropriate. A good place to stay in walking distance to downtown historica Banbury. less

Stayed here for one night while working in the area. Found the room very good for the price I paid, bed was really comfortable, signal on the tv was poor missing afew channels, decent size bathroom Breakfast was really nice and great value been in with the room price Only problem I had was the parking, there was a coach in the car park which took up half the spaces, there is underground parking for cars etc but most people parked in the car park so made it very hard for work van etc Would stay again thou less
