Pros:

Die Ruhe und die Nähe zu Bicester.

Cons:

An der Sauberkeit könnte man arbeiten.
Das Frühstück ist ein Witz und das nicht nur für UK. Kein Aufschnitt, keine Eier, keine Tomate etc. Just Toast etwas Käse und Konfitüre.
Nur gut, daß wir gekochte Eier und Schinken in der Kühlbox hatten.

Overall it was a good hotel. It just needed to up it's up it's Breakfast game. :)
Pros:

On the website it said there would be a buffet breakfast. There wasn't. It was the same thing everyday. The location really was in the middle of nowhere. But the bus stop was really close by. So that was really convenient.

Cons:

We were supposed to stay there for 4 days. But we needed to catch a Eurostar train to Paris early. So we left after 3 days and they charged us extra. Also the breakfast was really disappointing. My daughter felt genuinely sad eating her bowl of cereal every morning.

Pros:

Nothing other then location was not bad

Cons:

The breakfast was not available till 8am, it’s usually 6.30 am or 7am most hotels if not all.

I’ve never heard for is 8am breakfast, so I was not able to have breakfast as I needed to leave by 7.45am. This was not stated in any description.

The WiFi was really not good , carpet was dirty and many insects in property and ants in fridge.

When I checked out no staff were on site , I rang the bell many times and then just left the key at reception.

Convenient affordable option for a short stay
Pros:

Convenient location for attending Bicester motion event. Very affordable. Fine for one night. Didn’t have much interaction with staff but they seemed friendly.

Cons:

The mattress had a broken spring and wasn’t very comfortable. The heating kicked in in the morning despite it being a heatwave in the UK with temps up to 30c. Breakfast was limited as there’s no kitchen - cereal, toast, pre packaged pastries etc.

Worst experience
Pros:

Nothing this place look great on booking.com, my wife and I had planned a 2 night stay. This place was the worst place I have EVER seen. Absolutely filthy everyn where. The carpets had fresh curry stain with rice even where, there was drooping of other food aswell. Sofa was covered in dirt and dust and stains, toilet, bathe and sink filthy. Bed side draws was covered in built up dust and other stuff. We drove to the shop and bought cleaning products and try cleaning the room but I give up after stepping on a toe nail that pierce my feet through my socks. We did not start left the property and drove back home to London, This stay was ment to be for my birthday, I went and complained to the manager who did not seem to bother. Its a shame coz this property looks great from the outside, worst experience I have ever had😡

Cons:

EVETYTHING.

Great location for the car show we went too. Beautiful building
Pros:

Lovely building, staff were friendly.
Beautiful location

Cons:

Felt a little bit cold and sort of a bit damp feeling to it. Curtains didn’t really fit well.
With a bit of money spent in some places this could be amazing. Some things need updating As the building and layout is lovely

Slechter dan slecht
Pros:

Het bed

Cons:

Bijna alles ... het adres was slecht te navigeren, na paar x heen en weer rijden gevonden. Niks was zo als op de foto's ... de kamer was verouderd en heel slecht onderhouden ... doorgezakte bank
Het ontbijt was nog slechter dan slecht. Geen plakje kaas, ei of wat dan ook. We hadden alleen keuze uit jam of chocoladepasta. En dat terwijl ik niet van zoet hou. Ik heb gevraagd en het antwoord was nee. Ik heb ruim 100 euro betaald voor 1 nacht.

Cons:

I don't even know where to start. The property is tired and run down, would benefit greatly from a refurb, bedding was stained as was carpets (some allowances given for carpets but these were bad) Windows didn't close properly, blinds broken, curtain rails hanging off. The overwhelming musty smell of damp. Cockroaches (dead) found throughout the room along with a variety of living bugs, again throughout. Managed one night in here (only because of finishing a night shift) No sleep, left the next day despite being paid up for the week. This property is not fit to be advertised asked for refund. Never went with the expectations of the Ritz for the price, but wasn't expecting it to be this bad.
