Overall Ratings & Reviews The Crown & Thistle

Great location friendly staff

Comfortable room and very quiet for being on the road

The room was great ,breakfast good and the staff great. Only issue was the paint on bathroomceiling was coming away due to leak or damp needed attention.enjoyed stay lots of resturants ,cafes and bars in area all in walking distance .river walks very close.

Very pleasant stay with helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is as close as you can get to the centre of Abingdon and from that point of view a great place to stay. It also has a great restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Unfortunately being a very old building, it is not disabled friendly, all the rooms are on the first and second floors, not lift, and very narrow stairs. Also we found the light switches in our room very confusing and we had to have our cardkeys reprogrammed a number of times.

Lovely room, comfortable bed and great bathroom. Lots of stairs!! Breakfast and pub great

Cleaning is important to me, however bathroom and bed were clean and organised, floor was dirty and dusty, and I couldn't take my shoes off. Without proper lighting, very dark. I may like a more modern area.

Lovely staff but starting to get run down. They boast of the £1.8m renovation but that was done in 2013, but it’s now showing signs of having nothing done since. The carpets are tatty and walls marked. The restaurant food is solid and waitstaff attentive. Overall a solid 4 out of 5

Great stay with great service from all staff in hotel and in restaurant. The room had great character as did the whole building, so pleased places like this still exist. Will continue to return here going forward.

Great location, friendly hotel and a superb breakfast. The room was small but comfortable, but I noticed the bathroom ceiling was in need of some repair.

The building and room was very pretty! The bed was comfortable and the pub food and drink was great too. But.. the room was freezing (the tiny heater provided didn't warm the space) so I slept terribly, the outside noise was loud, I could hear people even just talking in the next room, the hot water was non existent for the sink and the shower was either scalding or ice cold. Also the bottom of the bath was weirdly warped and very uncomfortable to stand on. Lastly there was not enough privacy in the bathroom. The giant window was only half frosted, and still mostly clear. The window looked out onto the main road and directly into the windows opposite. There was no blind, only a voile curtain that again offered no privacy. I felt incredibly uncomfortable in there. I was there one night for business. Maybe there was an issue with the heating and water whilst I was there. Without this i might not have noticed the other issues so much, but sadly I was just cold and exhausted when I left.

Lovely historic coaching inn with excellent food and wonderful staff.

Enjoyed our stay here. Could use some updating to decor, but comfortable stay with great setting and wonderful breakkfast

Lovely room. Very close location to the town centre. Cose to many places to eat. Also has a linked restaurant.

The staff in the restaurant were extremely attentive to our every need & could not have been more pleasant.

The hotel gave me a room with a gorgeous roll top bath as I had requested, so I was very grateful to enjoy a luxurious soak. I also was very happy with the breakfast; you can order anything off their menu, however it was inconvenient that breakfast wasn't served until 8am because I had a to be at a seminar in the centre of Oxford by 9am and I ended up arriving there late. I also could not find the car park so had to pay for the long stay.

Executive room was a good size but no armchair. Furnishing and carpets very tired

A quirky town pub hotel. In need of a refurb. Entrance and hallway/ stair carpets worn and tattered. Room dark and dingy. No hot water and not enough water pressure for a morning shower. We will not be returning.

Very nice little hotel. Free parking which is great. Breakfast was made to order. Rooms were clean and very spacious

Love this everytime I visit this side of Oxford
