Holiday Inn Express - Bicester, an IHG Hotel

Location was so easy. Really was a stress free start to our short break. Checking in was super easy and efficient and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The food was very good both price wise and quality. The breakfast was included the following morning and I could not fault it. Very good for allergies and noticed that vegetarian options for sausages etc were provided along with gluten free options. Staff again were very helpful.

We recently stayed at the Holiday Inn in Bicester as a stopover on our journey from Yorkshire. We were looking for a reasonably priced, clean, and comfortable place to break the trip, and having stayed at Holiday Inns before, we had a good idea of what to expect. The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute drive off the M40, right off the first roundabout. From the moment we arrived, the staff were lovely and polite. The foyer, bar, and restaurant were all clean and well-maintained. Our room was as expected: well laid out with a comfy bed and easy-to-operate climate control. The bathroom was clean and tidy, with a great-sized shower (I'm 6'2" and muscular—just kidding about the build!). We decided to stay in and eat at the hotel. The menu was basic but had something for everyone, and the food was tasty. We had a great night's sleep, and the breakfast buffet offered a good variety, though there were no eggs—perhaps due to a chicken strike? Despite the lack of eggs, breakfast was good. The only downside was having to deal with a parking ticket machine. It would be more convenient if this could be handled during booking to avoid the hassle on arrival. Overall, well done to all the staff who made our stay enjoyable!

Staff were very helpful and welcoming. The room we stayed in was lovely and clean, the bed was very comfy, and the bathroom was spacious and modern. Being so close to Bicester Village, it was a perfect get away location for anyone travelling from far, and wanting to stay over for the night after shopping throughout the day. In the morning, breakfast time was relaxing and organised, with fresh produce served to cater all dietary needs. Overall, the Holiday Inn was a pleasant experience and we will definitely be returning back!

It was very clean and comfortable and the staff were lovely. I was one of many guests who were staying for the vegan campout and I loved that they created a specialist vegan menu for us. I stayed with my dog and they were very kind to her. I liked the little gift bag made for dogs at arrival.

- very modern and smartly designed - bathroom mirror designed to not steam up when having a shower (it actually gets warm!) - room was a good size (room with sofa) - extremely good value for money - very close to Bicester village and McDonald’s - the lighting was perfect. There were two sets of lights, one is bright and great for the day, the other set is a cozy romantic lighting that lights around the ceiling skirting
