Great stay!
Great Bank Holiday weekend stay, very good location (apart from Bicester itself). Only 50 mins to Bouton-on-water & other Cotswolds locations.
Hotel is great, very accommodating, helpful & friendly staff throughout. Room was spacious & had everything you needed.
Breakfast was lovely, varied & tasty, saw us through most of the day!
Thanks to all the staff, considering it was very busy with tourists as well, no ques at check-in & no need to wait for tables at Breakie.

Great Hotel
I have just stayed in two hotels in Central London and by far this hotel was the best. The bed was so comfteble and I asked for the disabled room as it has a bigger bed.
The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the designer village.

Lovely comfy bed and such a great night sleep . Dog welcomed and also in all the shops in Bicester village now . Fantastic breakfast next morning, well organised. Will definitely stay again

Overnight stop for an early start at Silverstone
Overnight stop to have an early start at Silverstone, and it really didn't disappoint.... clean, friendly, quite and with good parking. For those wanting more than us there was an overnight bar and reception with food offering which lots of guests were using...that you couldn't hear the second you shut the door to your room. All round just what we needed.

Overall good stay.
The check in was great, this cheerful lady made the process nice and easy, plenty of parking and nice location.
There were small parts of the room that weren’t clean to a high standard, and a few damage parts, but overall was a decent size room and comfy bed.
Breakfast was nice and the service was great.

Great stay overall! The room was spotless and the bed extremely comfortable. It was very quiet, which made for a restful night—aside from one brief interruption when the fire alarm went off. Would definitely stay again.

Fabulous stay
We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Bicester for a weekend as we were attending a wedding nearby. The staff were all very friendly, from reception to the breakfast room and the lovely ladies cleaning the rooms. Everybody had a friendly smile and were very helpful and professional.
The room itself was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast on offer was also very good in my opinion and there was a constant refilling of everything.
We would not hesitate to stay again. Well done team Bicester!
