Flying visit

very pleasant Hotel with a comfortable room, was only a quick stop over so not able to make full use of the Hotel. Would be more than happy to stay again, breakfast was of a good standard with polite staff.

4/10 Fair

Evening restaurant service poor. Most staff appeared overwhelmed. No checkbacks, slow/forgotten drinks orders, lots of empty salt and peppers.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A comfortable stay. Service an cleanliness was good. Outside card Doo to rooms seemed to jam.
J. Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed one night. Chose this hotel for its convenient location, between Oxford and Windsor. Reasonably priced so didn’t expect luxury. Basic rooms and acceptable food options. Rooms could have had heating on prior to our arrival, but warmed up quickly once adjusted.
samantha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ground floor room perfect as I struggle to walk. It was rather warm when we were staying and I was extremely glad we brought our own fan as no fan/air con in room. Bed a bit hard for me, ended up with sore back. Room clean and bed beautifully made. They forgot about our bathroom on 2nd morning. Breakfast was ok. But get there early as it’s not big area and you could wait ages to get a coffee/tea. Staff very pleasant and polite. At the disabled parking I pointed out that a nasty accident was waiting to happen as there was an unmarked drop at the planters onto a path. Definitely needs to be highlighted. Overall, it was a decent stay. We stayed there as is near our daughters in Chinnor. Will be back.
Linda, 3-night trip

The last stay

I have stayed at the Lambert on and off for 10 years with probably 100 + nights there in that time. it has had a gradual decline. Though still in a good position and enjoying a quiet location I won’t be staying again. Breakfast was poor - looking like it had been out for hours and much of the evening service appeared difficult
Mike, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Three stars, mediocre at best The cleaning in the shower room is a quick wipe. Having a shower the water is not draining, so flip the filter and it's manky, full of hairs and not been touched in a good while. From the Mercure brand one expects better especially as your paying average 170 per night with breakfast. Will I go back, no you can shove this place
Chris, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bed bugs

The room smelt stale as did the bed sheets, pillows etc. Myself and my wife had bites on our bodies which must have come from the bed. The bathroom was poor witha loose toliet seat and was overall grubby and not very good at all.
Neil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Indian food menu was excellent, great food. Good choice of drinks. Good breakfast buffet and nice rooms
BEN, 1-night trip

Fraser, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean and comfortable but service was a little slow and could be more enthusiastic. Bar closed at 11pm on Sat night and wouldn’t serve 8 of us a nightcap even though we were residents.
Arron, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent - We were running very late to check in due to Motorway crash but no problem for the hotel. Philip handled it with humour and efficiency Highly recommended
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were friendly and very courteous. Food was freshly prepared and service was good. Everywhere was clean and well kept
Melodie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was not advertised correctly. We booked as air conditioning was included at the hotel and in the room we booked. Then they placed us in a room without - tiny, extremely hot room and we were not comfortable. Only thing they could offer was a fan, nothing else. We were then told we would hear back with refund options, but absolutely nothing has been done.
Neil, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Little chance of sleeping in this hotel alongside a noisy road. It felt like our room was on top of the road! Badly designed bathroom. Not to be repeated.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

Wet friendly staff and great food in the restaurant. Rooms ok but not very good air conditioning
