Room was very clean. Decent size and bed comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and Wendy especially was so friendly and helpful. Made sure we had enough to eat. The only downside was the coffee machine. Only 1 for everyone. Had to queue and then it ran out of water/ milk. Need at least 2 machines

Staff great, especially Wendy at breakfast...... We dined in 2 of the nights and the meals were lovely amd reasonably priced. The hotel is looking a little tired in places now and our room was noisy with the aircon units outside the window R 215. Lack of constant staff presence at the bar to order drinks and food sometimes meant a wait. Or asking at reception.

Staff were exceptional, especially Malcolm on the front desk. We were a little underwhelmed by our premium price room (in the annex) however, especially as this was booked to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. It didn’t look like the room in the photos and was a little strangely laid out - all nice and clean however. We ate in the on-site restaurant which was fab, breakfast was a buffet which was just OK and rather over-priced

A sudden downpour revealed a leak in the skylight, but staff were efficient and friendly in finding us a replacement room asap, plus a partial refund. Rooms were comfortable and well-equipped

Nice modern hotel, easy reach of Oxford

Only stayed for 1 night as visiting Oxford. Walked by the river into Oxford (25 mins), £9 taxi back. Very clean modern hotel, very nice rooms. Good bar and separate restaurant, tho you can eat in the bar (lots of tables). Great staff. Drinks and food were very good. Lots of parking, easy to find.
