The Premier Inn met my expectations and provided all I needed for a quick overnight stay. The rooms were comfortable, but a slightly bigger shelf near the sink and shower would have been helpful. The service was genuinely helpful, from check-in to the restaurant staff offering hot and tasty food. The location was perfect for my needs, just 15 minutes from Didcot Railpark. The dining experience was one of the best I've had at a Premier Inn, although slightly understaffed at times. Overall, a good value for money stay.

The hotel is conveniently located just off the A34, close to restaurants and a supermarket. It's ideal for a family visit to Oxford, offering easy access to Oxford Park & Ride and surrounding areas. While the central heating or air conditioning unit in the room was comfortable, the noise of the nearby petrol station and McDonald's can be bothersome.

The rooms were clean and functional, with a surprising over-bath shower. They were a good size for this class of hotel, but there was a damp feeling and some mold around the window sill, leading to morning headaches.

The hotel is conveniently located just off the A34, making it an ideal spot for a family visit to Oxford. The rooms, although needing a bit more attention with cleanliness, are always tidy and quiet despite the nearby busy areas. The service is efficient and friendly, with minor room inspection oversights but overall helpful staff. The location offers easy access to Oxford and nearby attractions, with vegan options available. The dining experience within walking distance was disappointing in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. The facilities provided are satisfactory, but improvements could be made.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit small but clean and followed the typical Premier Inn layout. I appreciated having a fan to keep cool, but overall, the room felt grubby and tired, not meeting the usual standards of this brand.

The staff were all very helpful and friendly during my stay. However, I encountered a defective fan in the bathroom, which should have been caught during a pre-occupation room inspection. Although it was the weekend, there was no offer to change rooms.
