I was on the top floor so the water pressure for the shower was poor. Food was lovely: evening meal and hot breakfast. Right next to the railway line so if you are a light sleeper then take some ear plugs. Room was tired but clean. Bed was comfy. Small TV Ample parking. Would I stay again? Yes, but ask not to be on the top floor. Hopefully the shower is better on a lower floor.

Hi Expedia, First, I'm not sure how you added this property to your prestige e-commerce. The amount I paid for one night's stay is not worth it. The receptionists displayed terrible behaviour; they had pets and smelled all around the bar, dining, and reception area. We went to break fast at 9:05 a.m., and they said it was closed. Not even a single customer was there, but there was no courtesy to ask for coffee or any flexible, continuous breakfast. Imagine, this 2 km/3 km surrounding hotel has no local shop or convenience store to buy. I leave the place without any food or coffee (cover breakfast). Also, she showed her face, which we could not tolerate, and complained to us, "You guys bring outside food without asking permission from us." Firstly, the dining place smelled of pets, and how was she expected to eat? Secondly, there was no food or restaurant after 9pm/9:30pm. Last night, I saw many others bring pizza and other foods to their rooms and open the balcony, too, but still, she raised questions to us. The hotel management should have declared or told us that no outside food was allowed while checking in or booking a reservation with the Expedia portal, but they surprised us by not providing food choices and by not having a food corner within 2 km of this property. There was no proper shower water supply (I complained multiple times), and the towels had a urine-like smell. I don't know how Expedia added this property to your e-commerce.

One night at the Railway Inn

This was a basic hotel with basic pub grub. Very uncomfortable pillows and I had a terrible night as my room was so noisy. It is right on the railway station, and although the trains were not such an issue with a room at the back, the main road most certainly was! I hardly had any sleep. The breakfast was measly. On the plus side, the staff were lovely and the landlady Pauline was very kind and accomodating above and beyond.

Railway memorabilia was of interest; a broken chain on the wash hand basin plug was annoying. There were no instructions for finding the property which was difficult. The property was actually in Culham and not Abingdon
