Great base for visiting Oxford and the surrounding areas.
Good private parking facility and very close to public transport

No review title

Slightly disappointed not to find a comfortable lounge to sit in and relax after a day of sightseeing in the local area, so had to return to our own room each day. This meant that we had little or no chance to meet other guests. I
Even in the Main Bar of the Hotel, there were no lounge facilities-just one or two people drinking and using their own computers - so there was little or no communication with any other guests,during our
3-day visit to Abington
Dining Room Staff were pleasant and helpful, but with no comfortable chairs and / or coffee tables we didn t feel that there was much of an ambience at The Crown and Thistle. We would not recommend this Hotel to any of our friends or family unfortunately.

Very Bad Room Very Unhappy

Bedroom was in the attic, up very steep and narrow stairs, very difficult to navigate. Room tiny, so small sink in bedroom and no storage space. Had to wade through luggage on floor Went home a day early. As we left we saw other bedrooms on lower floor which were lovely.
Felt we had been shoved in a bucklet list room. Will noy use your service again

Charming market town hotel

Lovely olde world hotel set in centre of Abingdon which itself is a great and busy market town. Bedoom was a bit bijou but large bathroon made up for it. Food was excellent with a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Would certainly recommend and would be happy to return in the future.

A short but memorable stay

We only stayed for two nights but everything about or stay was excellent, from the friendly staff, comfortable room and superior service not to mention the wonderful food. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Crown and Thistle

Polite and friendly service throughout our stay. The food was good, especially the freshly cooked breakfast.
Well situated in the town with free parking.

Bedroom ambiance

The hotel was fab, restaurant fab, ROOM 7 a disgrace bad heating, poor quality bedding, bathroom wall and ceiling the paint was peeling off, room small, noise from machines etc (which started both mornings at 6.30am) outside windows horrendous.

We are looking for a hotel to visit every 3 months in Abingdon and the Crown and Thistle and Room 7 doesn t come up to our standards, which is a shame.

I have a video of the bathroom wall/ceiling if you re interested
