Fantastic stay from start to finish, free parking on site which was great for us. Staff were friendly and helpful, only stayed for 2 nights but were given fresh towels on our second day which was amazing. Lovely walk along the river into the centre (note it does take 35-40 minutes).

Excellent location with car parking. We booked a bigger room which had amole space. Overall is good but an area such as the bathroom is looking a little tired. It’s well suited for a short stay in Oxford, will consider staying here again.

As always this hotel and its staff did not disappoint. A friendly and personal welcome on the way in, a super comfortable and well laid out room with gorgeous bed, large bath and plenty of space. I use this hotel a lot for business and I would happily use it for personal travel too.
