Blisworth Hotels & Accommodations

I stayed here for one night while attending a birthday party. It’s very convenient for the M1 and a quick getaway. I found the check in very simple and was asked to register my car which was done via screen. I was originally allocated a ground floor room which is my least favourite when travelling alone but this was swiftly changed to one on the first floor. My room was clean and fresh looking with tea and coffee facilities and a rail to hang my clothes and replete with removable/rehangable hangers. The TV worked, the towels were fluffy and white and the bathroom very clean and a good size. I had a very comfortable bed and a good nights sleep. I didn’t hear any noise/other guests. I can’t find any fault with my stay.I didn’t use any of the cafe/bar facilities. Note that there’s very little in the way of alternative restaurants etc in the immediate area.

It is located about ten minutes away from the station and about ten minutes away from the city center. The location is relatively quiet. The room is ok, the bathroom is a bit stained, and the shower facilities are not cold enough.

Fantastic room and very clean. Breakfast was great with good selection. My only issue was the corridor was a little noisy, with some drunk knocking on the door a 2am in the morning.

he issue that I have experienced was: When I first arrived at the hotel I requested an iron and and ironing board. The member of staff gave me an iron but stated that I could not have an ironing board because it must be in a room. I asked if I could get it later as I need to iron my shirt for work and was informed that it would be sent to my room. This happened at around 3 in the afternoon, it is now 10.15 at night and they have not produced it. Next I ordered a meal in my room, I waited 1 hour before going to reception and finding out they forgot to send my meal to my room. I was informed that the meal was ready now if I wanted it I could take it, which I was happy to do, only to find out that they had tried to give me my meal that was stone cold. Not good for chicken and chips. I then ordered a smaller snack because of the time and waited 45 minutes telephoned reception and was told by the supervisor that they had just come on shift and knew nothing about my issues. She apologised and assured me that she would personally bring my sandwich to me in 15 minutes, 30 minutes later I go to reception as I had still not got my sandwich and it was too late to eat at 9.30 at night. I asked to speak to the supervisor outside as the members of staff who gave me this poor service were by reception and I wanted to speak privately, outside I did not get an apology for the poor customer service of her staff and she did not apologies for incorrectly telling how long I would have to wait the second time, after I had told her about my poor experience. She then said ”you don't want the food raw, do you” after me complaining about her keeping waiting the second time. I teach customer service and this has been the worst service I have ever received in a hotel ever, and I will using this experience with Ibis in my classes on a perfect example of how not to treat a customer for a long time. This is my first experience of Ibis hotels and I am shocked that this is how you treat your guests. It occurred on: 01/09/2022 This meant that I am in my hotel room furious and disappointed and have not eaten. It feel ironic that tomorrow I will be teaching customer service and I am unable to sleep because of how much this has affected me. I am not satisfied with the service I have received and I feel frustrated that it is too late to book into another hotel. Train your staff to a much better standard and made aware that this is not good enough. Send me a full apology and the cost of my evening meal that I did receive should be charged. I don't expect any of the things I have shared with you to make any difference to the staff and if I was ever foolish enough to stay at this hotel again I am sure I would get the same poor customer service. I just hope that this is a poor hotel and it does not reflect other hotels in your chain.

Great room, very convenient in the university

Nice hotel, nice and good rooms, friendly receptionist guy(Raj) but only problem is the car park unavailability

Booked for two nights and left after one. On arrival the room had a random dirty fridge inside, no kettle, no mugs, no ironing board. In the morning I established that the shower had no head and the hotel was unable to provide an alternative. They also weren't able to provide the ironing board so I had to leave without a shower and with a creased shirt! Each time I was at reception others were complaining (hole in roof, soaking wet carpet, wrong rooms). When I checked out a day early the manager didn't seem overly bothered.

Traveling around the hotel is convenient. This is the second stay! It is less than an hour's drive from Bicester Shopping Village. There are several Chinese restaurants around the hotel. The shopping mall in the town is very convenient. May book next time.

The lodge itself was very nice and the young lady on reception couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. We'd booked an accessible room as my daughter has arthritis and I'm limited in my mobility. We were pleased to know there was a wet room but there were a few issues. Firstly, the floor, once wet, was not slip proof and I felt quite unsafe during my shower. Secondly, the handrails were fine when dry, but as soon as they got wet, they were slippery. The ridged ones would be much better for grip. Thirdly, nearly the whole floor was covered in water, despite else being careful and pulling the curtains. So once I turned the shower off and attempted to move to a dry spot, it was quite awkward to find one. Hopefully Travelodge can address these and then it would be a 10 out of 10.

Excellent stay! Staff were very friendly from being greeted on our arrival by Mandy to breakfast where Karen was a delight to evenings in the lounge where Bo was very pleasant there were many others sorry to not include. Nice cool rooms. Stones throw from the shopping area. The lounge was nice to sit in the evening and have some food and drinks. The breakfast was amazing, lots on offer and all tasty. The health club was great didn’t go in the pool but went in the gym and steam room and enjoyed it and the bloke who was working In there sorry didn’t get a name was very helpful and friendly. Even being so close to a busy road there was no noise (room 233). Couldn’t get the TV to work but I wasn’t there to watch TV so this wasn’t a big deal. Overall was very happy with the stay and will definitely be back next time I’m that way. Couldn’t fault it thank you.
