Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy with some nice extras, although they could get a bit crowded. The bathroom was great with a spacious shelf, which was convenient. The service was very helpful, though a bit slow at times. The location was excellent, close to the river and just a short walk to Oxford city center. The dining experience was wonderful with plenty of choices. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor points to consider.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are very clean and comfortable, although some areas felt slightly dated and in need of better upkeep. The bedding was exceptionally cozy, akin to marshmallows. The service was generally helpful, with a minor hiccup of early checkout knocks and initial room allocation issues that were promptly resolved by the manager. The location is excellent, providing a serene riverside walk to the city center, and the dining experience, while good overall, had occasional hiccups with consistency in the food quality. The facilities were well-rounded, catering to various needs and enhancing the overall stay experience.
Booking a more premium room here was an excellent choice, with a lovely location close to shops. The grounds of the hotel were picturesque, but the room was boiling hot due to the non-functional AC and small heater left on. Accessing the room from the outside was a bit inconvenient.
The hotel offers an excellent location with easy access to the bustling center of Oxford through a short walk along the riverbank. The dining experience provides a wide range of buffet options, catering to different preferences. The rooms, although average and old, offer a view over some fields, but are quite dark and have a shower over the bath that can be challenging to operate. The service is a mix of professional and kind attitudes with occasional missteps, such as bringing the wrong meal to the table. The hotel facilities are satisfactory, but improvements could enhance the overall experience, making it a suitable choice for those looking to explore Oxford.
The hotel offers a lovely view, but the rooms have thin walls and lack air-conditioning. The service was cheerful and helpful overall, except for one receptionist. The location is close to the city and major roads, although the area is not the cleanest. The dining experience was good, but the breakfast could be improved. The hotel has a small, boutique feel and is conveniently located near the Oxford center.
The hotel was brand new and extremely comfortable, offering rooms with a bit more character away from the main hotel. However, the prices might be considered pricey for a less popular city.
The hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of modernity, cleanliness, and luxury, although some areas showed signs of wear and tear. The booking process was easy but the high price may not entirely match the overall experience.
The hotel is situated in an ideal location for exploring Oxford, with a lovely walk along the river to the center. The rooms, while overlooking fields at the back, might seem a bit outdated compared to the rest of the hotel, yet they are equipped with a recently renovated balcony and very comfy bed. The service was exceptional, with genuinely friendly and responsive staff. The dining options were diverse, although a bit busy at times. Overall, a great location for exploring Oxford with some minor room-related considerations.
