Really comfortable stay

Great stay at this recently refurbed hotel. Bed in double room was very comfortable, great having both a bath and a shower. Lovely Juliet balcony window with nice view. Hotel very dog friendly which was great for us and our dog. Parking availability was super and hotel only a short walk from bus stop right into Oxford. We also walked in along the riverbank - took about 40mins,

Over night stay.

Room comfortable, good size. Lighting a bit dim for reading. Bathroom clean. Products good. Breakfast excellent. Porridge with honey and banana served from kitchen very good. De Caffe coffee lost none of taste.

Great hotel, Fab service, check room locations!

Stayed one night for business trip. Room was very comfortable (as always) and reception and breakfast staff were above and beyond helpful (as always, and this is one of the reasons I come back so often). However, I stayed in an accessible room, which if you require this facility was excellent apart from the location. Ground floor main corridor with hard floors that bounce sound around. Also right by the lift which means people congragate, talk loudly and bash buttons etc at all times of the night. Then you're woken up by the staff going in and out of the store cupboard from the crack of dawn and the bashing their mop against the walls and doors as they clean the floors along the corridor. As I had already had a disturbed night due to chesty cough, a loud early morning banging on walls and doors was not the gentle wake up I wanted.

This seems like an older hotel, however my room was updated and very clean. The staff is super friendly and sweet. They are courteous and do their best to make your stay pleasant from checking in to checking out. I recommend this hotel if you are ever in Oxford! Their breakfast is great but most of all is the cheerful, warm welcome you’ll receive from Wendy as you enter the dining room. What a gem she is! I’ll definitely stay here again.

This hotel is nicely situated in the pretty village of Iffley, a couple of miles south of Oxford City centre. The river Thames runs close by and the lock at Iffley is worth a visit. There are also a couple of pubs in the village. It is possible to cross the river at the lock and walk into the city centre along the towpath (about 40 minutes). The hotel is clean, fresh looking and the rooms are comfortable. The staff are all professional and provide a warm, friendly experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness

We arrived in the late PM and I went to have a bath. The plug wouldn't press closed because there was a human turd stuck in it. I was nearly sick at the discovery, Reception changed out room but it was MUCh smaller and we had no compensation discount offered or anything. I will be emailing your complaints department to help us hold them to account.

Quite and peaceful

Clean and tidy hotel on the outskirts of Oxford. It is an easy walk to the centre and we preferred the location. The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel has a nice bar area with an outside terrace. Would definitely recommend.
