I booked to stay at the Upper Reaches Hotel in Abingdon as part of a business group. From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the usual amenities. We came for dinner that evening; the menu had plenty of choice and at a reasonable price. The Waiting staff were... More

Well,, what can I say. The reviews were so bad that I rang the hotel to make sure the reviewers had got it wrong. I have to say, my mind was not put at rest as the person I spoke to was jumpy to say the least. However, I needed to book something at short notice so I booked a... More

I will try to avoid this hotel in future but unfortunately there are not many places to stay in central Abingdon so choice is limited. The room is tired the bathroom small with a poor shower . The interior and exterior need attention. You can see it used to be Post House or THF hotel as you can the outline... More

We booked the hotel through a late deals website so got our double room including breakfast for £70 which was excellent value for money. If however I had paid the going rate then I would have been disappointed. The room was very small, you had to squeeze around the bed to get to the side of the room and the... More

We booked this at the last minute due to being badly let down elsewhere. Reception staff were helpful, and the size and position of the room (room 43) was excellent. As the curtains are thick, and only the small top windows open, we were provided with a fan, which meant that we were cool and comfortable. The bed was very... More
