The Crown and Thistle

Fabulous staff, couldn't be more helpful. Food is wonderful, service great. Down side is the parking! Sat Nav takes you to the front of the hotel, car park is at the back which is hard to find. The hotel has no instructions on anything, complicated system on getting the lights etc to work. Air con is great but again, no instructions. A simple fix would be to have a folder on how to make things work! No lifts which for someone with mobility problems is a huge issue.

Great if you like historical inns. Very pleasant stay with helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is as close as you can get to the centre of Abingdon and from that point of view a great place to stay. It also has a great restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Unfortunately being a very old building, it is not disabled friendly, all the rooms are on the first and second floors, not lift, and very narrow stairs. Also we found the light switches in our room very confusing and we had to have our cardkeys reprogrammed a number of times.

Good value Lovely room, comfortable bed and great bathroom. Lots of stairs!! Breakfast and pub great

Excellent service but a little run down Lovely staff but starting to get run down. They boast of the £1.8m renovation but that was done in 2013, but it’s now showing signs of having nothing done since. The carpets are tatty and walls marked. The restaurant food is solid and waitstaff attentive. Overall a solid 4 out of 5

Overnight stay meeting friends Great location, friendly hotel and a superb breakfast. The room was small but comfortable, but I noticed the bathroom ceiling was in need of some repair.

Pretty place, nice food, but sadly V uncomfortable The building and room was very pretty! The bed was comfortable and the pub food and drink was great too. But.. the room was freezing (the tiny heater provided didn't warm the space) so I slept terribly, the outside noise was loud, I could hear people even just talking in the next room, the hot water was non existent for the sink and the shower was either scalding or ice cold. Also the bottom of the bath was weirdly warped and very uncomfortable to stand on. Lastly there was not enough privacy in the bathroom. The giant window was only half frosted, and still mostly clear. The window looked out onto the main road and directly into the windows opposite. There was no blind, only a voile curtain that again offered no privacy. I felt incredibly uncomfortable in there. I was there one night for business. Maybe there was an issue with the heating and water whilst I was there. Without this i might not have noticed the other issues so much, but sadly I was just cold and exhausted when I left.
