Very comfortable apartment
Pros:

A very nice apartment, large and well furnished and fitted out. The bed was very comfortable

Cons:

We didn't like the smelly perfume dispenser things all around, some people may like them but we found them most unpleasant.

A few more opening windows would have been nice

Pros:

Good location for the town centre and although mine was an attic room it was air-conditioned so sleep was unaffected by the summer heat.

Cons:

It is an unmanned facility but the front door lock was disabled so anyone could walk in without challenge, poor security. The shower cubicle in my room was tiny, a bigger person would have really struggled to turn round in it. I didn't think this booking was good value for the price.

Good location
Pros:

It's a strange set up, no reception, or staff on site. But very comfortable, a spacious room and an ensuite bathroom. The location is excellent, close to the town centre and the Abbey gardens, and a short walk to the Thames.

Cons:

The shower cubicle was small but that was about it.

Lovely property, fabulous location… mini kitchen was ace
Pros:

The place was lovely, good location and we loved the mini kitchen

Cons:

The room was an oven. We were provided with fans but of little relief.
The window only opened a few inches.
The blinds could not be rolled up or down as the chain was flimsy and kept on coming off.
Wine bottles were found in our room only to find out that these had been delivered to the wrong room.
All in all "Fawlty Towers".

Pros:

Location and size of room

Cons:

No staff to contact except by phone and occasionally random person on desk at night. Front door always open which was a concern. Unable to leave windows open at night during heatwave as we were on ground floor next to carpark. Could only leave one window slightly ajar which locked in place others were not lockable.

Lovely situation in Abingdon. Rooms were nicely decorated with a small kitchenette. Lovely shower and bathroom. Very ho
Pros:

It was central to Abingdon and a lovely park outside leading to the Thames. The room was large and the beds and pillows comfortable. Lovely bathroom and the night lights near the toilet were great so I didn’t disturb my friend in the night by putting the light on. Adequate crockery for snacks and cooking if needed. It is a lovely old house and has been renovated to a high standard

Cons:

Unfortunately it was a heat wave while we were there. No breeze came in the windows and we had a small fan supplied which was very noisy. The entrance hall had no ventilation and was so hot even before we got in the room. The rubbish bin was tiny. Nowhere to dispose of our rubbish when full although on the first day we had a new bag for the bin but for the rest of the week we had no housekeeping done. No clean towels and we had to search for some more toilet rolls. We did find the coffee and tea supplies but not the toilet rolls until the last minute. We stayed for 4 nights so clean towels and rubbish disposal would have been welcome especially as it was so hot and we showered 3 times a day. The lighting wasn’t suitable for reading in bed without the blazing ceiling lights. Only a standard lamp by one bed and only one bedside table not one either side which would have been preferable. I had to improvise with the luggage rack for a bedside table

A lovely hotel, although no staff on site so a self service check in which was easy to use,
Pros:

No breakfast available at this hotel but plenty of options a short walk away

Cons:

Too hot, we stayed in June yet the central heating came on every morning making the room too hot for us.
