    I loved how close the hotel was to abbey gardens, just a quick stroll away, and the beautiful abingdon museum was only a couple of minutes' walk, making my city explorations super easy and enjoyable. the food was consistently great, adding an extra touch to my experience as a single traveler.

    design appeal
    none noted

    Plenty of parking space and a stunning breakfast with a variety of tasty options made this stay memorable. The room's unique design was a refreshing change from standard hotels, while the convenient location offered easy access to Oxford via frequent bus services. The service could not have been better, especially when the hotel graciously provided a hearty breakfast for an early morning departure.

    outdated amenities

    decent stay but room could improve

    The decor had a charming old-world feel that added character. The breakfast spread was delicious, with several options to choose from. The bathroom in my room was quite lovely, clean, and well-maintained.

    The room could use a touch of modernity in its amenities.

    confusing aircon

    The location is fantastic, right in the heart of town and close to lovely riverside walks. The breakfast was the highlight of my stay. from eggs benedict to pancakes, everything was delicious. Though the room was a bit dark and the air conditioning confusing, the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable.

    Great one-night escape!

    Had a lovely stay for just one night. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating, especially at breakfast – I loved having all those options! The room was nice enough, but it could’ve used a bit more brightness in the decor. a cozy spot for a quick trip.

    nice stay but room was small

    The breakfast selection truly impressed us with its range and the quality of the food delighted our mornings. The staff consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and their friendliness made a significant difference during our stay.

    The room felt a bit cramped despite being comfortable enough.

    The stay at The Crown was notable for its excellent staff, who were very attentive and helped accommodate my business needs. The breakfast was impressive, featuring a variety of options including a fully cooked English breakfast that was well-prepared and flavorful. The ambiance in the restaurant was pleasant for a morning meal, providing a good start to the day.

    It was just a reliable pick for a cursory stop in Abingdon-on-Thames with fantastic value for money. The restaurant staff were friendly and the food was top-notch. Be prepared for some winding corridors, it's easy to get lost!
