Check in was slow due to only one person being in the desk at 3pm - check in time; not helped by guests from a wedding pushing in front and their pals allowing it. Overall good rooms, nice location, might suggest a bit of bleach on the bathroom grouting and a free biscuit on the tea tray wouldn’t have gone a miss either.

Night away
Unfortunately in my room the shower tray was filling up with water due to slow draining. The sink was slow draining and the toilet has very little flush. All three issues were raised at reception. The evening meal was excellent and enjoyed the circuits class offered at the gym. Overall reasonable stay but the rooms need modernising

Good location and facilities
WE WERE IN A 20 MINUTE QUEUE TO GET TO RECEPTION. RECEPTIONISTS SEEMED TO BE DOING THINGS OTHER THAN CHECKING PEOPLE IN (POSSIBLY BOOKING EXCURSIONS AND SUCHLIKE). When eventually we were checked in, we were told that he room was not yet ready (in spite of the time being nearly 17:00 hrs. In consequence, we were kept waiting for another extended period. However, once all this was done, our room was excellent and very comfortable. The food offering at Dinner and Breckfast was very good.

Generally ok just need to train some of the staff
the part of the hotel where we stayed was a bit tired however it was nice. There seemed to be a shortage of staff when we arrived at the reception we had to wait as one receptionist was busy and the other was looking on her computer I feel she should have put her head up and said be with you in a mo, but she ignored us. The chap that finally helped us was very good. Latter that evening we went for a drink in the bar,my husband went to the bar to order a drink and the girl said she would be over to take our order at the table we waited a good ten minutes and she went past us a few times and never took our order and just ignored us. Someone from the restaurant came past and we finally asked one of them and was served. We eat in the restaurant and the staff in there where very efficient and served us well we enjoyed the food

Amenities Good food questionable
Check in great, staff polite. Room spacious, parking free and ample,close to many things. Gym small but selection of free weights and machines, Pool (Ok) not great for lengths as its small and if a few people want to swim e.g. 3 you don't have room. Sauna and steam room working great. Food: Questionable ? Breakfast usually cold ❄ I came at 7 am and was the first to arrive, not very warm, I came at 7.30 am still not quite warm. I ate my tea (7pm ish) at the bar and the selection was not great and a round £25 still not great quality. my review: Hotel great , amenities good. Eat somewhere else.

Some areas to improve but good
Check in was set for 14:00 but on arrival one of our party had to wait until almost 15:00 and his room still wasn’t ready. He asked reception about this so reception then switched his room. WiFi is not acceptable, completely unusable and totally open, if someone wanted to snoop here they would have a field day. The facilities and location however are fantastic, gym was good and food was even better.

Response quick&good but a positive action needed
I have stayed many times before at Botley Park for pleasure and business and over many many year held many a corporate events including Golf, Company Dinners and Exhibitions. So I feel comfortable staying at Botley Park for business and pleasure with my family. This time we had a Delux room which was ideal for our two night stay. However, I had to make two complaints to Reception. a) The drain in the sink did not drain away and washing water stayed in sink for some time which was not pleasant. b) The sink also had a leak behind it and we had to put towels around it to mop up the water. c) The shower ran hot and cold without warning and the shower head would not hold in a fixed position leaving one to hold it in place. Reception did respond quickly on a Sunday and had someone look at it but on our return was advised nothing could be done until Mtnc came back in on Monday and then we where told nothing could be done until we vacated the room on Tuesday. So it was looked at promptly which was a big plus but as it could not be fixed I was surprised we were not offered an immediate change of room especially being a long established customer.? However, none of this would stop me returning and just noting now so that maybe in future and to other guests a more immediate satisfactory and positive response could and should be given.
