Overall Ratings & Reviews Almond Tree Hotel

I booked the hotel for a work trip so budget was in mind. Having seen that the hotel had an overall rating of 7 and GOOD I thought it would be ok, but nothing swanky. On arrival I was disappointed, yes I knew it was on an estate but it is rough. Broken wall on entry and an old mattress by the bins in the carpark. I did get an upgrade to my room which was nice ..... The place looks tired, my room basic and uninspiring, the windows did not shut/seal properly and my shower cold and bathroom small and narrow.I asked that the shower be looked at, the guy said it had been and I had a barely luke warm shower then next morning. When I re-examined the reviews on this site the scores were either 2's or 4's and 10's!! I'm sorry but there is no way this hotel is ever a 10. There are no scores around 7 which is obviously the average. These random scores of 10 are inflating the overall results, I would never stay here again.

The property was very dated. The lift didn’t work and it was a 15 minute walk to the nearest resturant

Not for me people up and down the corridors all night lots of noise

We had a brilliant stay. The hosts were so nice and made it feel like home. Absolutely gutted we can’t book for next year cos it’s already fully booked.

Rooms were not clean location i s awefull on an industrial estate constant moving hgvs and a fan running all night

Not nice!

Clean, comfortable, free parking on site and good value for money.

A decent place to stay, generally clean except for the bathroom sink. Wifi is useless.

I gave up on the WiFi. They ask you to enter the name of the network as well as password. This is tricky and obviously to deter guests from using it. I tried the correct code a few times but it didn’t work.

Unstaffed, unable to check in.

Poor hotel with no facilities other than a room very dirty throughout would not stay here again

Good value for money for an overnight stay while visiting the nearby Bicester village and then a short drive to Oxford on my way home. Basic but good for what I paid. Comfy bed and warm clean shower. Checking out was a little slow but other than that no complaints

I was given the wrong room, I paid for a family room and was given a small double. There were bug monitors everywhere due to a cockroach infestation. The sides were dusty, the bed pulled out and there was rubbish all behind it so clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. I won’t be staying again and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else does either.

Cockroach infestation

We paid fir bed and breakfast but no breakfast was available

It was adequate for my purposes

Thought it was slightly overpriced for the size of the room. The en-suite was so small that you needed to reverse into it. The continental breakfast was very good

basic comfortable hotel, no problems, suited us for our purpose

overall the visit was good. The breakfast was lovely, and it was very good to have a toaster which worked very well. The only thing which was most annoying the height of the wash basin, and the shelf above did not let one wash your face or clean your teeth. THE ONLY PROBLEM.

My first room was NOT suitable for a double room. It was half taken up by a queen size bed, leaving no room to comfortably move around unless one person was in the sub cupboard of a bathroom. I arrived just after midnight so don’t argue. In the morning I argued for a better room and was given a twin room which was more spacious. Luckily for both the owner and myself I will not be returning.
