“The fully non-smoking Old Abbey House, in Abingdon-on-Thames, impressed me with its blend of historic charm and contemporary convenience. Select rooms add the advantage of kitchenettes and the free Wi-Fi throughout is a definite plus for any traveler, while its proximity to local attractions means it's a solid choice. I also appreciated the peace of mind offered by private parking.”

central locationdirty mugsinsufficient supply

the location was central. it was easy to reach nearby places.

check-in was not smooth. i encountered a problem with the dirty mugs in the room, suggesting they weren't cleaned after the previous occupants. the supply of tea and coffee was also insufficient. only two out of three windows could open slightly and the room was hot.
