We stayed over for the Blenheim Triathlon. The staff were very helpful and changed our prebooked twin room to a double. They also offered to lock our bikes in a secure shed at the back of the hotel rather than chain £1800s worth of bikes to the railings provided! However, the rooms were clean and tidy but the beds were... More

I recently stayed for one night as part of a business conference in mid week. The hotel has a very business like feel to it with its polished/refelctive surfaces and understated decoration.

At £90 per night this place is expensive. A basic hotel that doesn't even have a restaurant in the evenings. Have stayed in much better for much less. They even charge extra for wifi. Breakfast was average. Help yourself cooked breakfast was sausage, beans and scrambled egg. Where's the bacon!! If you hit the restaurant at its busy period its... More

Nothing much to add to some of the previous write ups. There is no denying that this is a bit of a hike from town; even a bit of a walk to the park&ride but to be fair, they have negociated a flat £10 taxi rate as long as you are only going to 'the centre' (Carfax Towers) and not... More
