    Location is great and so easy to get a bus into town.Breakfast was very good but the evening meal was even better.The staff were very good when we explained that the room was to far for my wife to walk as she is waiting for knee operation,they moved us a lot nearer to reception.

    Cost for parking was too high and unexpected. Had to pay £20 for one night on top of the charge for the room I'd already paid for. Would be nice for this to come off the initial receipt so people aren't taken by surprise on the day they book in.

    Lovely room, great spa facilities, hot tub was really warm and pool not too deep. Hotel was very clean. Restaurant food was delicious despite the high cost. Location was great, right near the centre but far enough for peace and quiet. Lots of greenery around and plenty of areas to walk.

    We thought that paying £20 to park the car on site was a bit of a joke and should have been free. The coffee at breakfast was poor (from the machine).

    The staff made this hotel. Reception were very friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant staff went out of their way to be helpful. Very laidback. Dinner was excellent and the best buffet breakfast we have seen in a very long time. Lots of choice and very fresh. Oasi was exceptional at dinner in particular. I’m

    Its a very minor issue, but would be great if there was maybe a mini fridge in the room.

    Very friendly and helpful staff, if you had a query or question they would do their very best to solve the issue. Very clean. Great facilities,only a short walk (10-15 mins) to the City Centre. Self service breakfast with a great choice of food. Would highly recommend.

    Parking was £20 for a day even for hotel guests. It felt overpriced and a bit unreasonable.

    The property’s location was perfect. It was not too far from the centre of Oxford and all the but stops are right outside the hotel. Very well connected. The bed was amazing, very very comfortable and the room was clean and very well kept. Staff was lovely. We were checked in by Lily on arrival and she was very helpful.

    Only dislike I had was that you had to pay £20 for parking. Typically this is free if you’re a guest at other hotels on my experience.

    Very modern property, really clean, great area for it to be, only down the road from Oxford centre, meaning it’s about a 15 minute walk.

    Everything was excellent, but it is a 20-25 minute walk to the city centre.

    It seemed to be very new and pristine and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good, with lots of choice and they catered well for my gluten and dairy intolerances. There’s also a large bar area, great for a nightcap.

    Nothing.

    All staff were welcoming and friendly from receception, restaurant/bar, cleaners, leisure centre staff. All would greet when saw you. Kashish and Claire at reception were exceptional and sorted our minor problem out and were very informative and knowledgable of the area, an asset to the hotel. The room was lovely with a gorgeous view of the fields with the horses ducks and geese. Bed was very comfy. A special mention to Vina for keeping our room spotless. Breakfast was one of the best I've had for a buffet style breakfast. Plenty of it and kept fresh. Staff constantly checking and keeping tidy. Location is perfect being in a country like setting yet on about a 15 minute walk along river thames or by road if prefer into the city centre. Oxford is a lovely city. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return to this hotel if returned to Oxford.

    Service was excellent, location is good, the room we had was slightly tired.

    The rooms are a little tired, with the carpet in our room showing holes where previous fittings were. The room was large beyond need but the bathroom was poorly laid out with the world's tiniest shower, which had ill-fitting doors and an overhead shower head that dropped even when not selected. Soundproofing, we could hear conversation and singing children even when other visitors were in their rooms.

    The location was good, near the city and a nice walk along the river past all the famous rowing crew clubhouses. The staff were amazing, and super helpful at all times with all requests to fulfilled. Our room was at the back of the building with no traffic noise or environmental noise.
