Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire, and hotels in Aylesbury range from a budget chain beside the Waterside Theatre to a Relais and Chateaux country house west of town.

Where to Stay in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

Hotels in Aylesbury Town Centre

Most visitors want a base within walking range of the shops, the market square, and the museum. Two properties fit this need best. Travelodge sits on Exchange Street, and the King’s Head stands on Market Square. Only one of the two offers rooms we could confirm.

The other hotels sit on the roads out of town. A car or a taxi helps if you stay there.

Travelodge Aylesbury

Travelodge Aylesbury stands on Exchange Street, Aylesbury, HP20 1AL. The brand lists the phone number as 08715 591854. The hotel is staffed around the clock.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM. Check-out ends at 12:00 noon. Early check-in and late check-out cost extra and depend on space.

The hotel has a Bar Cafe with breakfast and evening meals. Rooms have tea and coffee facilities, and double rooms have king size beds. Accessible rooms and pet-friendly rooms are available. Wi-Fi is free for a limited time each day, and a paid upgrade gives full-day access.

Parking is not on site. Guests use the Waterside multi-storey car park, which charges a fee, and Travelodge points to other car parks nearby. Check the current charges before you arrive.

This is the best pick for cheap hotels in Aylesbury town centre. The Waterside Theatre stands next door, per the hotel page.

Broad Leys Pub and Rooms

Broad Leys is a pub and restaurant with rooms at 8 Wendover Road, Aylesbury, HP21 9LB. A town listing says the building is more than 300 years old and sits on the edge of the town centre. The website is thebroadleys.co.uk. We could not confirm the phone number, so use the website to reach the team.

A booking listing gives check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. Rooms have en suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, a television, and a tea tray. The same listing says breakfast comes with the room, and free parking depends on space.

The town listing says the pub added two boutique-style rooms. This is a small number, so book early and ask for the current room count. Confirm the breakfast and parking terms by phone or email.

Premier Inn Aylesbury

Premier Inn Aylesbury stands on Buckingham Road, Aylesbury, HP19 9QL. The booking line is 0333 777 3673.

The hotel page lists free parking, free Wi-Fi, accessible rooms, family rooms, and luggage facilities. Rooms come as standard doubles with a desk and tea and coffee facilities, or as Premier Plus doubles with a coffee machine and a mini fridge.

We could not confirm check-in and check-out times from the page we read. We also could not confirm a breakfast service. One visitor review mentions a pub next door serving food. Ask the hotel about meals before you book.

This hotel suits drivers who want free parking and a simple room. The page lists the town centre and the train station as separate trips from the hotel, so plan a short ride.

Cheap Hotels in Aylesbury and Budget Stays

Budget travelers have three real choices. Travelodge Aylesbury offers the closest base to the town centre. Premier Inn Aylesbury offers free parking. Broad Leys offers a pub setting with a small number of rooms.

We found no motels in the American sense. Aylesbury has chain hotels, pubs with rooms, and country houses. If you drive, a chain hotel on the edge of town gives you easy parking.

Prices change with events at the theatre and with the season. Compare dates on Expedia, then confirm the final terms with the hotel.

Hotels near Aylesbury Waterside Theatre

Aylesbury Waterside Theatre stands on Exchange Street. The theatre opened in 2010 and seats 1,200 people across three levels. Ambassador Theatre Group runs the venue for the district council, which owns the building.

Travelodge Aylesbury is the closest hotel we could confirm. The hotel page says the theatre stands next door. After a late show, you can walk back to your room. Book early when a big show comes to town.

Larger Hotels and Country House Stays

Two properties sit outside the town centre and offer more facilities. One is a mainstream chain hotel on Aston Clinton Road. The other is a historic country house on the Oxford Road.

Holiday Inn Aylesbury

Holiday Inn Aylesbury stands on Aston Clinton Road, Aylesbury, HP22 5QT. A booking site lists 139 rooms, an indoor pool, a health club, a bar and lounge, and a restaurant called Open Lobby. Free Wi-Fi is listed in the rooms and the public areas.

Check-in starts at 2:00 PM and check-out ends at 12:00 noon. Parking on site costs a daily fee. Confirm the amount with the hotel.

We could not confirm the phone number. Use the booking page or the IHG website to reach the team. An older travel guide also lists a Holiday Inn Garden Court in Aylesbury. We could not confirm this name today, so we left the property out. The two listings may describe one hotel under different names.

Hartwell House and Spa

Hartwell House stands on the Oxford Road, near Aylesbury, HP17 8NR. The hotel brochure gives the phone number as 01296 747444 and places the house about two miles west of Aylesbury. This is a luxury stay and a Relais and Chateaux member, according to a booking listing.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out ends at 11:30 AM, per the same listing. The grounds cover 94 acres of parkland. The brochure describes a spa with a swimming pool, steam room, saunas, a hot tub, and a gym. The brochure also lists tennis courts. Free parking and a restaurant are listed.

Louis XVIII, the exiled King of France, lived in the house for five years from 1809. The National Trust received the house and its properties in 2008. The hotel is part of Historic House Hotels.

The brochure says children over 6 are welcome. The brochure also says dogs are accepted in some Hartwell Court suites by prior arrangement. The brochure may be out of date, so call to confirm the child and pet rules.

The King’s Head and Staying in Old Aylesbury

The King’s Head stands in King’s Head Passage off Market Square, Aylesbury, HP20 2RW. The National Trust runs the building and describes a historic 15th-century coaching inn. Wikipedia notes the cellars date to the 13th century and gives the building a Grade II star listing.

Today the site serves food and drink in the Farmers’ Bar and a cobbled courtyard. The National Trust page says the venue is closed on Mondays. Call 01296 718812 for hours.

Many older guides call the King’s Head a hotel. The page we read has a Places to stay heading with no details below, and we found no source for current rooms. We treat the King’s Head as a place to eat and visit, not a confirmed place to sleep. Call the venue to ask about rooms before you plan a stay.

Things to Do near Your Aylesbury Hotel

Aylesbury has enough to fill a weekend. Check opening days before you go, because several sites open on limited days.

Discover Bucks Museum and the Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery

Discover Bucks Museum stands on Church Street, Aylesbury, HP20 2QP. The museum site lists opening Wednesday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Sunday hours run to 4:00 PM, but the start time on the page looks like a typo.

The Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery is part of the museum. The site says the gallery is open on weekends and during Bucks school holidays. The gallery marks its 30th anniversary with events from 13 February to 31 October 2027. Call 01296 331441 to confirm the hours.

Waddesdon Manor

Waddesdon Manor stands at Waddesdon, Aylesbury, HP18 0JH, just off the A41 between Bicester and Aylesbury. The estate opens Wednesday to Sunday, plus bank holiday Mondays. House hours are shorter than grounds hours, and the site lists two sets of times, so check the official ticket page.

The estate reports ongoing work on heat pumps and the stone facade of the house. Other areas stay open as normal. Christmas at Waddesdon pauses in 2026 while conservation projects take place. Do not plan a winter trip around the usual Christmas display this year.

Aylesbury Vale Parkway is the nearest train station, with regular trains from London Marylebone. A free shuttle bus runs from the station between 1 March and 28 October. Outside those dates, take a taxi or a bus. The Red Rose route 16 runs from Aylesbury through Waddesdon but is infrequent and does not run on Sundays.

How to Choose Hotels in Aylesbury

Start with how you will travel. If you come by train and want to walk to the shops and the theatre, choose Travelodge. If you drive, Premier Inn offers free parking, and Holiday Inn offers a pool and a restaurant.
