I recently stayed at this hotel and was impressed by its excellent location, close to the station and incredibly convenient to explore Oxford. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to offer valuable advice on the best things to see and do in the city. Breakfast was a highlight, especially while enjoying views of the river and garden. Overall it was an enjoyable stay in Oxford.

Great location (except current closure of bridge makes a taxi journey back from city at night expensive). Lovely owner and staff. Great, and generous, selection of breakfasts. Rooms comfortable and everything you need but could do with updating.

Great staff and a comfortable and welcoming stay
The standout features of this hotel were the friendly welcome and helpfulness of the staff, the breakfast which included a choice of kippers, the view of the Thames from the dining room (I watched an angler catching a fish from the opposite bank and swans and ducks were swimming on the river), the honesty bar and there was a teapot in my room with the tea and coffee and biscuits which I really appreciated. The best of British hospitality and a comfortable cosy room made up for no lift and older facilities, all of which worked well.

Old world charm staff in an old hotel
Staff are very friendly and cook you aspecialised. breakfast. Very centrally located, but lots of road works so frustrating to go in and out of hotel if you plan to use a car to get to the hotel or get about. Hotel probably has not had an upgrade since i950 so expect to see outated carpets, chairs, bathroom and stairs. Hotwater needs to run for 5 minutes before hot water comes through. Old world charm with honesty system bar.
