8/10 Good

We had a newly renovated room and bathroom. The rest of the property is undergoing renovations as well. The room was great and the grounds are beautiful. Not much in the town to see. It was a great 1 night stop over point

Ian, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

We had to be moved twice in order to get an acceptable room but to be fair to the man on reception he got there eventually. Potentially a fab hotel but it needs a bit of TLC attention to detail.
Lee Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was ok for an overnighter….

Lovely old building
Athol, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The Whately is perfectly located in the centre of Banbury, nice staff, beautiful garden, complete breakfast in a spacious room. The beds are very very comfy. The building itself is wonderful, but the hotel needs a big refreshment: the carpets in the stairs are worn to the bone, covered with scotch tape, one of our curtains was torn apart, the handle was about to fall from the bedroom door, and the cold water was slow to go out from the tap. If you are looking for a place to stay in Banbury, the Whately is not perfect but is a good option in the town centre.
Svetlana, 4-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Absolutely filthy hotel with tattered linens and utterly filthy bathroom
Zara, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Just what we were looking for.
