Comfortable no frills stay

Comfortable stay. Convenient location. No staff though - more like an E-Hotel. We booked 2 rooms and could only check into 1. Had to call a helpline to get into the other room. Otherwise, good sized, clean and comfortable rooms in the centre of Abingdon.

Hotel is a bit of a misnomer for this place: it is nice and convenient but it certainly is not a hotel. Guesthouse would describe it best. The check-in is automated and there is nobody on the premises. For a stop it is nice if you don't need the fascilities of a regular hotel.

This is the hotel right in the center of the town. It is so convenient to everything you needs among the shopping streets, dining, parks, running trails, and buses to Oxford and surrounding areas. We enjoyed staying at this affordable price for our vacation. The only thing we have is not enough air circulation inside room, nor the corridor. So, room temperature is much warmer than outside even open the window.

The room was very clean,our visit was for one night there was no reception, our only complaint was ,there was no summer duvet we were just to hot ,although there was air conditioning we wanted to sleep with the windows open,but were still to hot. Hotels .com is an excellent company we would recommend anyone to book with them.When we had a serious problem health problem last year they could not have been more compassionate caring and helpful towards us .

Great spacious room, comfy bed, good shower and a great location. Only one small complaint is it would have been nice to have had more milk left or provide a small fridge to be able to keep milk for longer than 2 days for those stopping a bit longer.

Ideally situated for exploring Abingdon and the lo

Second stay at the hotel and by coincidence it was the same room.. Much easier to check in this time, the check-in is fully automated so having gone through the process previously this time it wasn’t an issue. The room is comfortable, not overly large but the bed is comfortable you have your own temperature thermostat and it’s clean, so all the major important boxes are ticked. Certainly, would not hesitate to use the hotel again.

Spacious, tranquil, gardens

Lovely modern spacious room with kitchenette and comfy bed. Parking with electric charger. Located in fabulous quiet back lane right next to ruined abbey and metres from both River and town centre. Hope to stay again. Carpet could do with a shampoo, head board not fixed properly, tv aerial not plugged in - all minor. No reception or dining, but automatic check in easy peasy. Will stay again.

The old Abbie hotel has been extensively refurbished in the last few years. It’s a fantastic location where you only have to walk minutes to the Central Square and to the River Thames, with many amenities nearby. I booked two rooms and asked them to be located next to each other no problem. They were next to each other located on the ground floor even better. Automated self check-in was fine with me at the age of nearly 63 but there were people struggling and there’s no staff at the kiosk in the hotel. Once we had the swipe key for our rooms, we went to the rooms. Unfortunately, the room that my son and partner were sharing for two nights there was a massive big brown stain on the beautiful carpet which was grey. In my bedroom in the bathroom, I noted a large tile which was off the wall. I contacted through like a messenger on Expedia to the staff who kindly came and had a look at both rooms and took photographs. This was in the evening before we went out for a meal. Neither of these issues stopped us having a good time in Abingdon. Because it was the weekend nothing was done to remedy these faults which I believe in many respects, somebody in their team must’ve known about these faults before they rented the rooms out. I’ve been speaking with the team through Expedia and they have been very helpful. Would I stop in this hotel again? The answer is yes because I know that the teams work hard to make things right but. The rooms for the Price should’ve been immaculate

This is a new 'hotel' so cleanliness and care of the property still good. Unfortunately no staff except a night porter so no lovely welcome on arrival. No housekeeping so bed not made up, no change of towels, no replenish of tea, coffee etc so feel they should no be advertising it as a hotel on some sites. Car park limited and lots of cigarette butt ends on the ground outside the door. Brilliant location though and facilities in our ground floor good, although would struggle to get anything out of the oven as bedside cabinet right by it. Also, as with a lot of hotels no plug for the hairdryer by the mirror!

Liked: Cleanliness
Electronic check-in was straightforward. Room was clean and well presented, but this is not a bouquet hotel in the normal sense. Perfectly adequate if you are staying overnight, but for a short break it lacks any of the usual service. Eg no servicing of rooms, bins not emptied, tea & coffee supplies were very limited, finding breakfast locally was a challenge. Communal areas would have benefited from cleaning, autumn leaves remained on stairways for our duration of our stay. Be aware of the late check-in time and early check-out.
