Make sure you put your car registration into the machine when booking in as we received a parking fine. This was eventually sorted out by the hotel, even though we had put our registration number into the machine.

The staff are truly wonderful, nothing too much trouble. We had the Indian cuisine which was fantastic, took the park and ride into Oxford which was cheap and easy to do £3 for parking, and bus trip for 2 people!!

One reception staff member named Philip did arrange a room change for us after the first night despite the hotel having previously told us none was available. So we are grateful to Philip for his help and understanding.

Room allocation was not as booked despite making an advance email request, my request was ignored. I was informed that they had a wedding booking and the room type of my booking was not available. Breakfast service was very poor for a 4* establishment with items running at the service buffet and staff not attending to replacement. I am contacting Travelzoo separately with a formal/more detailed complaint.

It ticked the box for us being a cheap and comfortable stay. Plus points - the bedroom was large, air conditioned, and had a fridge. Cons - the bedroom walls were so thin that you could hear conversations in the next room, and decor could do with refreshing. A special note to say that the breakfast was really good.

Used as a convenient place to stay to visit Oxford. Near to Park and ride so didt have to take car into Oxford. Only issues were leak in bathroom, this didnt get fixed whilst we were there. Also security issue on last night as outside corridor door did not lock and therefore anyone could get into the bedroom area. The furniture was clean although dated but the carpet was badly marked.

Buffet breakfast hot items could have been kept warmer but there was a great choice otherwise.
Quiet times meant an obvious lack of staff, as reception desk staff doubled as bar staff during the afternoon, resulting in a wait to be served.

Pair of dirty mens socket found in wardrobe on day of checkout. No staff at reception to tell. (0810) Lack of vegetarian options. Dirty glasses left outside from previous afternoon. No means to control Aircon in room, had to get reception to turn it off. Coach party arrived, waiters seemed wholley unprepared next morning, people left standing waiting for a clean table. People standing waiting for cups, bowls etc etc. transport is essential for even a walk ! Nothing at all in walking distance from the hotel. The lady with the blond hair behind the bar is a delight, as was the English (?) lady on reception on Saturday pm. The lady who called round to service the room was also very pleasant. Not at all the standard we expected from a 4* hotel.

A perfectly placed hotel for exploring the pretty town of Thame.
From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Aga in particular is a credit to the team. She went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed our two night stay, she even made sure we could watch the Traitors final on the TV in the bar! That’s hospitality at its finest- nothing was too much trouble for her!
Our room was on the ground floor overlooking the garden. It was quiet with a large comfortable bed, ambient lighting and had all we needed for our visit including complimentary toiletries and a well stocked tea tray. The room came complete with safe and a fridge. My only criticism would be that the bathroom is a little dated and could do with a bit of TLC. Please take slippers with you as you’ll need them- the bathroom floor is tiled and very cold underfoot and there is also no heating or heated towel rail which didn’t make for a pleasant bathing experience although the hot water was plentiful.
Other Comments
I have to say, the food served in the restaurant is absolutely outstanding! We were a party of four and ate in the restaurant both nights, and although the meals were a tad expensive they really were worth the money. The drinks were reasonably priced though which was a surprise considering there isn’t a lot of competition in the area.
We all had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate in returning. A big thank you to everyone at The Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel!
