Best Western Garden Court Aylesbury

My b/f and I stayed here for one night before travelling to London. On opening the door to our room the over powering smell of damp/ musty/ hit s and stayed all night. The window was open but that didn't help at all. The dated decor, the cracked sink, and the damp smell were a gr8 disappointment. The mattress was very comfortable and there was plenty of tea facilities. We had already decided to eat down the road and got up too late to try breakfast! The staff were very friendly. Potential to be a gr8 hotel but the sad state makes it a poor one. less

As a stop-over on the way to Oxford, we stayed in Aylesbury for one night. This hotel is a bit away from the city so that the hotel is very quiet ensuring good sleep at night. Car parking is free. Wifi is also free. The restaurant offers 2 choices of breakfast, continental and English full. In summary this hotel is a good value for money choice. less

After a hot day spent in Milton Keynes at Gulliver's Land, we were very much looking forward to a stop over night here. The outside appearance of the hotel looks ok. Although the rough bit of land between the hotel and health club seems a bit of a waste land. The check in was quick and thorough. However the rooms air-conditioning wasn't working. At 35 outside the room was like an oven. A member of staff attempted to get it going, but no. Thankfully we were moved to another room, which was brighter and much bigger. Also the air-conditioning worked. Which I have to say worked superbly. The room was clean and smelt clean. However the furniture and bathroom was all very outdated. The bathroom in particular in need of fixing. The toilet seat came off, hot rail had wiring hanging out and the bath was well due replacing as the same for the 1970's tubed hair dryer. Regardless we slept well and the shower did work well enough. The breakfast provided was ok, but the dinning room was small and too hot. Two air-conditioning units which didn't seem to be on and all the windows shut? Made the eating experience uncomfortable. Overall we found our stay very average and were disappointed that on checking out we were pretty much ignored by the reception staff. Not even a goodbye. I would most likely chose another location to stay if I was to stay in Aylesbury again. less

I booked this break, then read some negative reviews, so we arrived with some trepidation. We did not have cause for complaint once while we were there (3 nights). The room was spotless, so what if the furniture was a little dated! Such things are irrelevant. The bed and pillows (a particular bugbear of mine) were comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The water was piping hot with the best water pressure I have ever experienced in the shower! Breakfast was very good and plentiful. On the first morning, our 5-year-old daughter couldn't find a strawberry yoghurt, so one of the waitresses went to find one from the fridge in the kitchen! All in all, an excellent stay - especially for the price! less

Not sure what to make of this hotel. Room was OK, but bathroom very tired with horrid lighting. Staff friendly enough, but no recognition for being a Best Western Rewards Member. Had to cancel second night due to change of circumstances, no refund given, although I accept this as pre paid booking. Bar/Restaurant area more like a transport cafe! Very limited choice, asked for poached eggs on toast, arrived more like poorly scrambled eggs! Not the best experience. less
