Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the spacious and clean rooms at Mercure Thame Lambert Hotel, often mentioning the comfortable beds and generously sized bathrooms. The hotel's proximity to Chinnor makes it a convenient choice for some, and its location near the motorway, surrounded by quiet countryside, is appreciated. The availability of a fridge in some rooms is a definite plus, though a few guests have noted the lack of air conditioning.

Underwhelming Stay and Maintenance Issues

burnt pakora loose mirror
I wasnt impressed with some things. The kettle in my room had burnt residue. The replacement didnt even fit the base. I also noticed the magnifying mirror in the bathroom hung loosely and I thought it would fall. My meal was also dissapointing. The lamb kebab was overly spicy and the pakora was burnt. I think hotel needs to do a inspection.

AWESOME stay!

easy access cute staff awesome breakfast
The hotel has EASY access, I noticed. The reception staff were REALLY cute on arrival. The hotel is of a high standard overall. The facilities were VERY good for what I needed. BREAKFAST was fantastic value for money. I could even check in early as my event started early.
I found one issue, there was white paint needed at the edge of the disabled bays. There was an unseen step. I almost fell. THIS needs work.

Good stay near Oxford

clean room easy access helpful staff
My room was a Standard Double Room Courtyard Side and was very clean. The location was good, providing easy access to Oxford. The staff were helpful and polite . The restaurant offered excellent dinner options (i recommend the specials!).
The initial greeting felt a little careless as the reception desk was unattended at first. It took some effort to locate my room afterwards. Clearer directions would have helped a lot.

The hotel is conveniently positioned near major routes. It is also close to local attractions. Its setting allows easy exploration of Oxford, with surrounding areas that are readily accessible.
