This was our second stay, the previous one being around 5 years ago. It was a convenient location for a night before our daughter’s graduation in Oxford. The deals on offer also made it one of the best value hotels in the region. The wacky and fun theme of Crazy Bear is fun for a short stay, though some of the carpets are looking tired in places. We chose to eat out but did return for a nightcap in the bar. This was a rather disappointing experience, the prices were high at £11 each for an Irish coffee and a Baileys coffee, both were served in dumpy glasses rather than the usual and were tepid rather than hot. We were almost the only guests present so the atmosphere was not great despite all the attractive surroundings and lighting . When we checked out we weren't even asked if we had a nice stay. I’m sure the Crazy Bear thrives on event nights but in between it is rather too quiet and I can’t help thinking that some changes to draw locals in would help.

A lot of hot air which failed to get off the groud
Having high expectation for our first visit, was rather excited at the prospect of a night at the establishment. Parking was amply and check in was rather pain free, They do take a £150 deposit for incidentals, not an issue. Entering the room from a rather steep and narrow staircase with uneven floor, the initial impression of one the room had been shoe horned into a corner at the top of the building. I appreciate the room was the Snug type (only one available) but it really was a shoebox of a room, no where to sit and relax other than on the bed, extremely cramped when getting changed, but what made it worse was the lack of working air conditioning, extremely humid room and no one to cool down. Reports to reception were greeted with it takes 10 minutes to activate the air con, never heard so much tripe in all my life. Simply a tactic to not take the issue seriously. Having claimed to have visited the room we were reassured all was not operating. Sorry, absolute no difference, it seemed any further interaction with reception would result in similar ineffective results and would put a further damper on our stay. So we simply pretended the room was a Sauna !! The Thai restaurant, service was good but the food was immediately forgotten, extremely overpriced, lacking in taste and quality ingredients Oddlyly enough when checking out the £150 previously taken was not to be utilised to take off the bill, this was paid separately and the £150 to be returned several days

First appearances, very quirky, and eclectic decor which was just great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Thai based evening dinner selection was just fantastic. My only crisisisms were some of the outdoor spaces were a bit tired and used glasswear etc was not cleared from some of garden seating areas in a timely mannar, making the area unappealing. Having said that, on departure, the manager was more than helpful and seemed genuinly interested in our comments, with a keeness to make a difference and put things right.

My room was tiny, which is fine, but the decor could only be described as fevered dream in a Travelodge. Moreover the only plug point in the room, which was across the room, was obstructed so I could not plug in an Apple charger. It is inexcusable to not have proper plug points in 2024, I had to connect to a plug point outside the room. The service over dinner was excellent, the two young ladies were very responsive to our needs. The checkout procedure was strange to say the least. Apparently a forensic audit of the room is needed in order that your deposit is released. The reception staff is surly, the decor looks like the chic was forgotten in the design brief of shabby chic, the food is average, the only bright spots are a decent wine list and great dinner service. Definitely not worth the price.

The rooms are very different and unique and we loved the decadent room.take plenty of money for your food as its very expensive. We had a 2 course english meal for myself and my wife with 1 drink and it was over £100.mind you the £14 something service charge did not help.

Incredible stay
We stayed in room 12 which I had emailed ahead and asked to be allocated which was no trouble, the room although dark was spotlessly clean and the staff were all incredibly friendly. We ate at the Thai which was lovely and had a massage which was also fab, I already can’t wait to return!
