I stayed here for one night while attending a birthday party. It’s very convenient for the M1 and a quick getaway. I found the check in very simple and was asked to register my car which was done via screen. I was originally allocated a ground floor room which is my least favourite when travelling alone but this was swiftly changed to one on the first floor. My room was clean and fresh looking with tea and coffee facilities and a rail to hang my clothes and replete with removable/rehangable hangers. The TV worked, the towels were fluffy and white and the bathroom very clean and a good size. I had a very comfortable bed and a good nights sleep. I didn’t hear any noise/other guests. I can’t find any fault with my stay.I didn’t use any of the cafe/bar facilities. Note that there’s very little in the way of alternative restaurants etc in the immediate area.

he issue that I have experienced was: When I first arrived at the hotel I requested an iron and and ironing board. The member of staff gave me an iron but stated that I could not have an ironing board because it must be in a room. I asked if I could get it later as I need to iron my shirt for work and was informed that it would be sent to my room. This happened at around 3 in the afternoon, it is now 10.15 at night and they have not produced it. Next I ordered a meal in my room, I waited 1 hour before going to reception and finding out they forgot to send my meal to my room. I was informed that the meal was ready now if I wanted it I could take it, which I was happy to do, only to find out that they had tried to give me my meal that was stone cold. Not good for chicken and chips. I then ordered a smaller snack because of the time and waited 45 minutes telephoned reception and was told by the supervisor that they had just come on shift and knew nothing about my issues. She apologised and assured me that she would personally bring my sandwich to me in 15 minutes, 30 minutes later I go to reception as I had still not got my sandwich and it was too late to eat at 9.30 at night. I asked to speak to the supervisor outside as the members of staff who gave me this poor service were by reception and I wanted to speak privately, outside I did not get an apology for the poor customer service of her staff and she did not apologies for incorrectly telling how long I would have to wait the second time, after I had told her about my poor experience. She then said ”you don't want the food raw, do you” after me complaining about her keeping waiting the second time. I teach customer service and this has been the worst service I have ever received in a hotel ever, and I will using this experience with Ibis in my classes on a perfect example of how not to treat a customer for a long time. This is my first experience of Ibis hotels and I am shocked that this is how you treat your guests. It occurred on: 01/09/2022 This meant that I am in my hotel room furious and disappointed and have not eaten. It feel ironic that tomorrow I will be teaching customer service and I am unable to sleep because of how much this has affected me. I am not satisfied with the service I have received and I feel frustrated that it is too late to book into another hotel. Train your staff to a much better standard and made aware that this is not good enough. Send me a full apology and the cost of my evening meal that I did receive should be charged. I don't expect any of the things I have shared with you to make any difference to the staff and if I was ever foolish enough to stay at this hotel again I am sure I would get the same poor customer service. I just hope that this is a poor hotel and it does not reflect other hotels in your chain.

Fantastic room and very clean. Breakfast was great with good selection. My only issue was the corridor was a little noisy, with some drunk knocking on the door a 2am in the morning.

On arrival the friendly receptionist not only helped us she was absolutely fantastic and so kind understanding and generous giving my daughter some sweets to entertain her and really talked with us. Advised us on locations and talked of different subjects. The stay was brilliant the night reception was lovely and kind on speaking with my husband. The stay was lovely clean spacious quiet despite location it was very quiet, the cleaning staff was understanding on my daughters mini accident and we tried to leave the room tidy for them also. On leaving the friendly reception was lovely also and very kind :) I totally recommend this as your stay for whatever your needs. Please note upon the telephone line it’s card only but other than that it’s a wonderful place to stay whether it be for work to catch some of them special Zs or a quick stay for friends family etc. very accommodating with our baby and myself being pregnant also, Great place and cannot recommend enough and I cannot sing their praises enough honestly best we have ever been to

Just disappointed. We booked a two night stay as we were visiting Coventry radio one big weekend and was cheaper than staying in Coventry. The worst experience as a group of people that had been a the festival got back and we’re being so loud and noisy. Banging on doors from 12am till 7.30 am the next morning. At one point my partner actually got up and told them to shut up. Was quiet for all of 5 mins. As a result of this discretion we got no sleep. Completly unacceptable and I felt more should have been done to kick these people out/call the police as it was not fair on other guests staying at the hotel. Another lady also complained the same time as we did at reception. The man on reception did all he could, offered us breakfast and a free drink but to be honest I felt it was worth a refund due to the constant distribution. The second night it was a lot better, but it tainted our stay. Personally, it’s one of the most depressing hotels I’ve visited. It’s on an industrial estate, decor is dated, breakfast wasn’t great and they’d ran out of basically most evening food apart from meat pizzas. Not one to visit unless it’s a necessity. Service was okay though.

Traveling around the hotel is convenient. This is the second stay! It is less than an hour's drive from Bicester Shopping Village. There are several Chinese restaurants around the hotel. The shopping mall in the town is very convenient. May book next time.

I stayed two weeks whilst visiting family. Reception staff were professional and friendly. There was a small problem when checking in, but it was dealt with quickly. I spoke to the Manager and provided the names of the women who were so helpful, as I really appreciated their diligence. The breakfast is one of the best, both hot and cold with plenty of choice. They also have gluten free bread and soya milk. In the cafe, the staff were professional and courteous and ready with my gf toast every morning! The rooms are clean, quiet and, importantly given the weather, have air conditioning. There is free parking and wifi. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again.

Stayed here at the weekend with friends; lovely room, enjoyed the evening meal and a fab breakfast. Would recommend. The only downside was that there is a service charge payable on all drinks that you are not notified of. We queried our bar bill as it didn’t make sense and was told by a member of staff that on all purchases a 10% charge is payable. There is no signs up around the bar area notifying you of this. We were told that the staff are not allowed to tell you about this. To me that seems fraudulent. Surely you can’t be charged for something that you don’t know about every time you go up to the bar and purchase a drink? Not sure if the staff get this money or the company. If this is company policy are they breaking the law by not notifying you of this? Please be wary.

We stayed Friday for one night as we were visiting friends in nearby ****on Bec. We were warmly greeted by Julian and check-in was easy. Our accommodation is just across the car park and was more than adequate for our needs. We decided to have a drink before going out and there is a good selection of beers and wines, all reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting to Julian and learning about his sister's plans for The Narrow Boat. Obviously in January the weather isn't appropriate for sitting out in the garden overlooking the canal, but there is also another indoor restaurant that overlooks the terrace. We were more than happy sitting in the smaller restaurant/bar area particularly with the log-burning stove beside us! We had a look at the food menu which looked very nice and reasonably priced. Our breakfast on Saturday morning was delicious. My husband opted for the ”full works” which had a supplement, whilst I went for the standard one. Very nicely presented and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked. As other people have said, The Narrow Boat is on the A5 so you will experience some noise from the road but you get used to it. We look forward to coming back to stay again the next time we're in the area. Thanks to Julian and the chef for making us so welcome.
