Brilliant old hotel with comfortable beds and a great breakfast. Would definitely return if I was needing somewhere in that area to stay.

Booked two rooms for ourselves and relatives for a three night stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The Hall is an old building with lots of character and has those little corridors running off in many directions which I find intriguing. Our room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was clean with a good size shower and quite modern. The windows in the building are the old style metal frame single glazing so we're difficult to open and you can hear outside noise so if you're a light sleeper I suggest asking for a quiet room at the rear of the property. The bed was very comfy but the pillows are a bit too hard for me. The breakfast was in one of the big old rooms which makes it feel quite grand. Nice small selection of hot and cold for breakfast. There is a modern bar area that is also a dining room in the evening and there is a small sports bar off one of the many little corridors. The hotel is just on the main road and the car park it at the rear which is accessed through a quite narrow tunnel so if you have an unusual large car you'll have to pay to park on the public car park at the front. There are lots of restaurants and bars nearby to enjoy and it's is a very short walk into the town center. The train station is only 15 minutes walk too so great location.

The staff were friendly and professional looking to make our stay comfortable. The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. There was a good selection for breakfast which was a great way to start the day. It’s a great place to stay and it had a car park for our hire car.

Hotel has benefited hugely from some serious investment . Used the hotel for over 30 and it’s never been better . Slight moan about the gardens which looked like they needed some maintenance. Overall tho , very pleased .

A beautiful building just near Banbury Cross with a large carpark. It was only a short walk to the old town and through the shopping centre to the canal We enjoyed a modern well appointed large room with sofa and Smart TV in the main building. It was unfortunate that because we were in a corner there wasn't a view of the beautiful gardens. The dining room was contemporary and did have that view. The menu had something for everyone and the food was delicious and incredibly well priced. Portions were large and service great. A good buffet breakfast was available for a small extra on booking. Overall an excellent value overnight stay.

Best low cost place I have stayed. Boarding on luxury. Well maintained room lots of space for all parts desk,bed ,shower, vanity and toilet. Light and bright hallways and stairs. Quiet, nice size tv (noisy bathroom fan) would be my only complaint. Also great old feel to the reception area and comfortable lounge area. Great breakfast with lots of options. And all at a good price. Walking distance bro other shops and places to eat. Would definitely recommend

The room was basic but spotless. The bathroom toiletries were lovely. Everywhere had a fresh coat of paint and bathroom had recently been resealed everywhere so looked fresh / newly refurbed. Breakfast was in a nice room by the garden and quiet. Food was ok but I didn’t like the sausages. I heard them cooking eggs to order. Car parking was a blessing and staff were very friendly. Pillows could have been less hard. Location was perfect. Overall, a great little place to stay.

Great location and a true to life oldie worlde 400 year old hotel. But with a truly modern twist. Where old accommodates new. Pleasantly surprised by the lovely foyer/rest area and dining and breakfast rooms. Such a great place to hold a venue such as a wedding, a milestone birthday or a family christening etc. The rooms are very clean with exceptional decor. En-suite bathroom with a good shower, all toiletriers supplied, along with fresh towels. Impeccable made beds, with tea/coffee making facilities. Along with a colour television. Makes for a home from home stay. Lovely rooms with modern decor, clean and inviting. Beds are made up to the highest standard. Tea and coffee making facilities. A lovely en-suite bath. With a walk in shower. Having toiletries and freshly laundred towels. The morning breakfast is a great start to the day, offering a full varied range, from ceareals, English breakfast with a choice of butchers seasoned suasages, fied eggs, hash browns, grilled tomatoes, back bacon, baked beans, mushrooms. Pastries, toast, marmalade, jam, honey. Fresh fuit, low calorie yoghurt, vegan/ vegetarian oat milks, low calorie crisps, tea and coffee, fresh orange and apple juhce. Friendly and attentive staff who make your staff who are always at hand and making sure your stay is an enjoyable one. This along with a good bar and a great restaurant serving food. Especially Sunday roast dinner a must to have, a lovely outside garden. To sit outside in those lovely hot sunny day
