Pros:

Emplacement, veranda du petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Insonorisation moyenne, on entend très bien les passages dans le couloir, et les voisins bruyants.

Great location, rooms rather disappointing.
Pros:

The hotel is in an excellent location right on the River Thames and an easy stroll to Abingdon town centre.
The buildings are old and beautiful.
The rooms are situated in different buildings. We were quite fortunate to have a ground floor room in The Stables that opened onto a quiet courtyard.

Cons:

Our room was very small and quite claustrophobic. The bed was only a standard double. The shower room was tiny. The wash basin small with very poor water pressure.
Breakfast was ok. The cooked offering was good but the fruit, yogurt, pastries selection not so good.

We had a lovely stay in Abington. Was very nice to stay in the heart of the town. Beautiful garden.
Pros:

The hotel is situated in a beautiful area of the city. It's an easy walk to downtown pubs and restaurants. Beautiful garden to sit in near the river. Lovely staff and a nice place to eat breakfast and have a drink in the eve.

Cons:

No where to hang a towel in bath. Cord on tea kettle needed an extension as it was far too short for the desk it was sitting on. Tough to make tea/coffee without risking a burn. No place to plug hair dryer where could see in a mirror to dry hair.

Lovely Couple Of Day
Pros:

Beautiful setting. Room was lovely we arrived late at night and were quickly checked in. Breakfast was very nice. Never ate in the restaurant but sat in the garden enjoying a couple of bottles of wine in the sun. Staff were all really nice. Highly recommend

Cons:

Not really a complaint more an observation that the car park is a bit tight to navigate. However we got parked both day with no problems
