A well-respected national chain of friendly budget hotels: there are multiple Premier Inn hotels in and near Oxford, all accessible via a single booking platform. We are unable to secure block bookings at Premier Inn on behalf of FLoC so book early to avoid disappointment!
Rooms: Standard hotel offerings: single, double, some family rooms.
Price: Varies (will get more expensive the later you leave your booking), currently about £90 per night for a single room. The rooms may be a little more expensive in the first week of FLoC, due to the Silverstone Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Best locations:
Location 1: Bicester This is furthest away but the best connection to FLoC: there is a frequent bus service near the hotel that will drop you off directly outside of the main FLoC venue. It is also conveniently located for designer outlet shopping at Bicester Village. Address: Oxford Road, Bicester, Oxfordshire OX26 1BT
Location 2: Oxford This location is in Oxford city, but the public transportation options are not quite as good (35-minute bus ride plus 10 minutes’ walk through the pedestrianised centre of Oxford). Taxi/Uber will take around 20 minutes. We may consider running a FLoC bus service as there are several hotels in this area, but this is not confirmed. We will keep this page updated! Address: Business Park, Garsington Road OX4 2JZ
Location 3: Abingdon only 10 minutes’ extra travel time to FLoC than from the Premier Inn Oxford, with the benefit of being in the centre of Abingdon (a nice little city to explore). Address: Marcham Rd, Abingdon OX14 1AD
