Great Hotel

I have just stayed in two hotels in Central London and by far this hotel was the best. The bed was so comfteble and I asked for the disabled room as it has a bigger bed. The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the designer village.

Not very dog friendly, more so dogs ‘accepted’

We choose this hotel as its close to Bicester (where we had a shopping day) and ‘dog friendly’. Great start with friendly man at reception who gave us a puppy bag with chews, treats and tennis ball. We paid £30 extra to have a puppy which is absolutely fine, but we’re disappointed by the poor condition of the room. Perhaps it’s the set dog ‘room.’ Tons of brown stains on the carpets (which smelt) and some stains on bed. I called reception mentioning the stains and stench and the women who answered the phone said verbatim ‘I’m sorry you feel that way.’ In the interest of transparency I’ve attached the images, as this is about facts not ‘feelings’. Nothing provided for the pups- like basic water bowl or bed, which I’ve received at other dog friendly hotels. Food options poor- powdery eggs and limited vegetarian options. Safe to say we won’t return.

Overall good stay.

The check in was great, this cheerful lady made the process nice and easy, plenty of parking and nice location. There were small parts of the room that weren’t clean to a high standard, and a few damage parts, but overall was a decent size room and comfy bed. Breakfast was nice and the service was great.

Fabulous stay

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Bicester for a weekend as we were attending a wedding nearby. The staff were all very friendly, from reception to the breakfast room and the lovely ladies cleaning the rooms. Everybody had a friendly smile and were very helpful and professional. The room itself was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast on offer was also very good in my opinion and there was a constant refilling of everything. We would not hesitate to stay again. Well done team Bicester!
