Stayed one night. Chose this hotel for its convenient location, between Oxford and Windsor. Reasonably priced so didn’t expect luxury. Basic rooms and acceptable food options. Rooms could have had heating on prior to our arrival, but warmed up quickly once adjusted.

I arrived on a late booking after a bad day. The welcome was fabulous. Room was great in all aspects. Ate dinner in restaurant and it was surprisingly good and inexpensive. It’s a few miles further than I’d like from office but would stay again for quality

Ground floor room perfect as I struggle to walk. It was rather warm when we were staying and I was extremely glad we brought our own fan as no fan/air con in room. Bed a bit hard for me, ended up with sore back. Room clean and bed beautifully made. They forgot about our bathroom on 2nd morning. Breakfast was ok. But get there early as it’s not big area and you could wait ages to get a coffee/tea. Staff very pleasant and polite. At the disabled parking I pointed out that a nasty accident was waiting to happen as there was an unmarked drop at the planters onto a path. Definitely needs to be highlighted. Overall, it was a decent stay. We stayed there as is near our daughters in Chinnor. Will be back.

Room better than last time but not cleaning (hair etc on floor behind bathroom door). We went back as the breakfast was amazing last time but really not very good this time. A coach party had been in before us and everything needed topping up but was not topped up. Hardly any breads or pastries left, no yogurt and coffee machine was not working. Reception very good but waiter at breakfast grumpy. Not sure I would book again.

The last stay

I have stayed at the Lambert on and off for 10 years with probably 100 + nights there in that time. it has had a gradual decline. Though still in a good position and enjoying a quiet location I won’t be staying again. Breakfast was poor - looking like it had been out for hours and much of the evening service appeared difficult

Disliked: Cleanliness
Three stars, mediocre at best The cleaning in the shower room is a quick wipe. Having a shower the water is not draining, so flip the filter and it's manky, full of hairs and not been touched in a good while. From the Mercure brand one expects better especially as your paying average 170 per night with breakfast. Will I go back, no you can shove this place

Bed bugs

The room smelt stale as did the bed sheets, pillows etc. Myself and my wife had bites on our bodies which must have come from the bed. The bathroom was poor witha loose toliet seat and was overall grubby and not very good at all.

This was not advertised correctly. We booked as air conditioning was included at the hotel and in the room we booked. Then they placed us in a room without - tiny, extremely hot room and we were not comfortable. Only thing they could offer was a fan, nothing else. We were then told we would hear back with refund options, but absolutely nothing has been done.
