Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Stayed for 2 nights BB and couldn’t fault it, front desk were pleasant and alway helpful, along with the staff in the restaurant. Bed was massive, and comfortable. Everything you needed was in your room. This hotel is close to the park & ride, so very handy for getting in and out of Oxford, and last bus runs till after 11pm.

Good comfortable stay for uni visit.

Our overall experience was very good though our room was incredibly hot and we had one small fan which made very little difference. We also had problems with the car parking company that manage the car park. However the staff at the hotel were fantastic when I rang to explain what had happened. I was very impressed. The location was perfect for the park and ride to do the university open day and to pop in for dinner the night before.

Nice area, nice hotel, nice staff. Shame about the small details, like 3 of the lights not working in the room, towel rail not heating up, a small hole in the ceiling and not enough towels for the 2 guests that used the room. Apart from these small details, everything was great.

The Holiday Inn at Peartree has been my choice of hotel for the last 6 years of travelling to Oxford whilst my daughter was at University. This is the perfect location, with super friendly staff, lovely rooms and a great restaurant. Highly recommended.

Best value hotel in Oxford

From a lovely Indian girl on reception who went out of her way to assist me. Nicest reception staff I’ve experienced in Oxford area and I generally stay in the city centre, Marriot, Malmaison, Premier inn. The hotel overall was much nicer than any of the above. I usually visit about every 6?weejs fir a medical appointment, sometimes 4 weeks. I will be staying 100%
