5.0 / 5 5.0 / 5 Hamish [leamington Spa, GB] on 27/07/2009 (Young couple)

Pleasent setting, good service and nice clean rooms.

Overall: Very comfortable.  (108976220)

3.3 / 5 3.3 / 5 Anonymous on 22/10/2009 (Mature couple)

Perfect location close to town centre. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff. Attractive decor

Toilet plumbing inadequate. Bedroom quite small with lack of cupboard space (although travelling companions had spacious room). Safe didn't work. Wake-up call didn't happen.

Overall: In all good but slightly spoiled by points below. Attractive building on The Thames with interesting modern decor and old working mill wheel. Great location. Abingdon nice small town.  (108863378)

3.6 / 5 3.6 / 5 Carl [Lincoln, GB] on 13/09/2009 (Mature couple)

Hotel is well located with very nice features. Staff are friendly and welcoming and food was very nice.

Hotel was undergoing renovation work which we hadn't been made aware of at the time of booking. We were advised of this at check in and also the staff apologised in advance for the dust which was everywhere, however the work wasn't noisy or disruptive in any way to our stay. The Hotel rooms were however very warm even though the heating wasn't on and the bedroom window was open. We were awoken early by the noise of other bedroom doors slamming shut as the door closing mechanisms had not been set properly and also by other clients leaving early and wheeling suitcases over the cobbles and flag stones to the car park. The bathroom was clean and adequate but the water pressure from the shower was quite lacking.

Overall: Suitable for overnight stay but wouldn't want to stay any longer due to general noise factors and other comments as detailed above. Overall we enjoyed our stay and Abingdon is a lovely location.  (108267292)

nobody warned us we'd had to ask for a token to get out of the car park.

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
