Premier Inn Abingdon (A34)

Staff are nice, location was good, breakfast was awful, shower flooded the room and toilet seat was broken. Served our needs as we were going to Truck festival.

Our room on the third floor was clean and quiet. Meal deal is good value but had to wait 30 minutes for the evening meal as it was busy. Staff at breakfast were very friendly and attentive. Faulty TV in the room was attended to but, unfortunately, the fault recurred. Overall, enjoyed the visit and will stay again.

We had a late check-in and the experience wasn't great. Everything is geared to be DIY and nickel & diming you like a discount airline. It isn't even the amount of the additional costs - rather how annoying their systems are and how you have to do everything for the priviledge of paying. We arrived at the location and there was no one around. They had self-checkin kiosks but of course nothing worked (they asked for a UK postal code - we are from the US, the reservation & booking numbers). We pushed the service button and it took forever for someone to come out (very nice person when they did show up). Biggest annoyance - their free internet is complete garbage - they have it throttled so that it provides only 1mbps speeds up / down but it is so unreliable and inconsistent, it is really isn't usable for anything other the simplest / most basic things. The hotel is also in the middle of nowhere very pretty poor mobile data coverage so you really don't have any choice but to go offline for awhile or pay the 5 GBP (about $7) PER CONNECTION - I'm here with my family so bascially we sould have ended up paying and extra for $60 for our laptops and phones just for 8mbps service per day. What a joke! Also, room is relatively new and clean but one bed was not ready. Definitely stay away If actual service and a decent comp wifi connection matter to you!
