Needs more staff!
Pros:

The room and hotel itself were gorgeous. Comfy bed too

Cons:

The room was 27degrees on arrival and the air con unit was very temperamental. I had to ring a couple of times to ask for the heating to be turned off. Was assured it was off and they could remotely turn the air con on but the room still sat at about 25degrees the whole stay. Being uncomfortabley hot even with windows open. I stayed 4 nights and my room wasn't cleaned and towels / coffee / cups were not replenished until I rang on day 3 to request this. There was no staff present as it was an electronic check in service. Which I dont mind but it would have been nice to have someone around at least. Also phoneline went off at 7pm so if there had been a problem/ emergency no one would havs been informed until the next morning.

Lovely room in a historic building right in the centre of Abingdon.
Pros:

This hotel was a new concept for us. There is no physical presence of staff as far as I can tell and check in is by a console at the door. This was a little more complicated than I anticipated because you need two numbers to confirm reservation... the personal code messaged to me on the Booking.com confirmation AND the longer booking code which was emailed. However, the room was excellent and the location was perfect. The building is handsome and well placed to access Abingdon centre. There is NO restaurant or bar on site... but it is a very short walk to number of very good cafes. Abingdon town centre seems to have embraced cafe culture in spades. Walk out immediately behind the hotel and you are in the Abbey Gardens and then out past the superb children's playground and into the watermeadows along the banks of The Thames where you can do a charming circular walk via the river crossing at Abingdon lock.

Cons:

The lack of welcoming staff made the experience of staying at the hotel rather colder than I would have anticipated. But, to be fair, we were there to have a room for the night and the customer service on-line was excellent, even though it was remote. We left clothing in our room and this was retrieved and the team was in touch with us very quickly and efficiently to arrange how we could collect it.

Pros:

The room was beautifully decorated and really comfortable.

Lovely hotel in a great location
Pros:

The location is great, and the building and rooms are beautifully decorated. We didn't see any staff, but they were very helpful when I called (at 11pm!) and sorted my issue quickly.

Cons:

I do wish there was more shelf space in the bathroom - there was not enough space for my toiletries.

Pros:

Second stay here the location is excellent close to the theatre

Cons:

The temperature on the thermostat is set so high it's like an oven inside. No changes to the thermostat seem to have any effect and I had to manually adjust the radiator and have the window open for an hour.

The door to the corridor outside the room needs the hinges oiling as it is just outside the room and very squeaky.

The door to the room needs adjusting as the key card works to unlock it but the handle will not turn unless you pull the door closed first, then turn, then push to open.

A new favourite hotel, we’ve recommended to everyone
Pros:

Could not recommend this place enough. The Superior Suite is stunning, spacious and tastefully decorated, with everything you could need. Quality furnishings, we didn’t want to leave.
The building is stunning, with many of the original features having been retained.
Ample parking, perfect location to explore Abingdon. Modern check in with an easy to use machine at the entrance.

Cons:

Nothing.
