    My short stay at The King's Arms Chipping Norton.

    The decor a little dated, but on the other hand, it added to the feeling of authenticity and charm.

    The staff and community were friendly. and authentic. Helpful but not intrusive service. Flexible, for example, on checking out time. Staff always had time for you and didn't rush their replies. Really refreshing!

    good stay with just a minor suggestion for improvement. the carpet could use an upgrade to something newer.

    the overall ambiance was pleasant. The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, which made it easy to explore the area. The staff at check-in were friendly and welcoming.

    We didn't get any advice about where to go for breakfast - but we found the café across the road ourselves - which was very good.

    Great pub with friendly staff and very good beer. Would stay again or any other Arkells pub with accommodation

    We appreciate that it is an old building, but we would still like bedside lamps and accessible plug sockets.

    It was quite shabby and a bit sad but reflected in the price I guess… the beds weren’t very comfortable but the room was warm

    The bathroom/shower really needs sorting. The shower head didn’t attach to the rail so we had to hold it. Some of the tiles and the sealant was either cracked or discoloured. No hairdryer in room where one was advertised. None of this ruined our stay so we didn’t feel the need to complain or ask for anything.

    Location was great and the staff were all lovely. Bed was very comfy and room was warm.

    The keys got stucked in the front door, luckily a lady was there to help. The floor is all wobbling and not straight. The carpet is very old and not really clean. The room was cold and it was impossible to heat control the heating. The shower wasn't hot enough and very noisy. Very poor lighting.

    Very close to the city center and 15 min driving from Stow-on-the-Wold which was actually our first destination the day after.

    Stayed in twin room, my mattress was not the best, decor a bit tired but all clean and tidy.

    Really nice staff, good location for the local theatre, lots of tea and coffee on tray. Room big enough, massive bathroom with plenty of towels, nice toiletries. Not too noisy being we were above a pub.

    We thought we had parking but that is limited and we missed out & had to park up the road a wee way.

    Great location above a character pub. A little bit of pub noise but that was ok. Small shower & bath room but also expected and relevant to price. Gret breakfast cafe over the road.
