Overall: Underwhelming for a 4 star hotel. You are really paying for the location. Staff were helpful and friendly. The lobby was well kept. The hotel, at least my room floor, was not as well maintained for a 4-star hotel. My room had no aircon (knew this when booking, so be aware), luckily in the evening it wasn't too warm, but quite warm during the day. Location of the hotel is very central (main draw). The room was fine, but expected more for a 4-star hotel. Some plug sockets didn't work. Bathroom was large for a Single-Bed room. Hand soap wasn't refilled. Bed was comfortable. The iron had a lot of burnt residues on (completely unusable), which housekeeping replaced after chasing up directly with them. Unfortunately, one of my neighbours had issues and kept opening and closing the door. As the doors didn't have slow or soft-closing, the door was slammed continuously for around 20 mins after midnight/at 1am. Could also hear the conversation between the hotel guest and hotel staff. This made it difficult to fall asleep.

Awful room. Extremely hot. There were 2 fans but still it was so hot and stuffy could not sleep. Veronica the manager was not sympathetic at all. Just said sorry. It’s obvious an issue they have all the time - one member of staff told me but management fail to do anything and just have complaints from the customers from rooms without aircon ( half the rooms do). I’d completely avoid as I had no sleep and management don’t care.

The staff was kind and accommodating, checking me in a little early. The room was smaller than I expected, but that's fine. It was very hot, no A/C in the summer, but there was a fan. I had a hard time sleeping because of banging noises all throughout the night and into the wee hours of the morning. Very convenient and walkable location.

Silverstone stay

This was a great hotel - clean and convenient. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We had the breakfast option and it was perfect with plenty of options. We stayed here for the Silverstone race weekend and getting to and from the track was easy visit the Oxford Pkwy park and ride. Would recommend and would stay again. Thank you!

Disliked: Staff & service
Car park was awful. Trying to get in and out and staff have to take your key and details in case it needed to be moved to get another guest out. I wasn’t happy with this and the staff seemed unsure who would move it and if they would be insured. Given how small and bad the car park was I needed more reassurance and details. When I checked in I wasn’t asked if I’d parked in the car park and wasn’t aware I had to at the time. I sat on the terrace over looking at the car park and I saw a member of staff come out look at my number plate and say to another guest he would find out who it was and them to move it as he was checking out. If I had have gone shopping or out this guest would have been blocked in by me and unable to leave when planned. Obviously I went and discussed with staff and moved. But future guests should be made more aware of the situation and staff need to advise guests and be able to advise. All of the above for the cost of £30 per night!!
