Our twin room was clean, well kept and a great size with nice decor. We had a great little TV, ample power sockets, tea and coffee facilities and everything else we could possibly need. Nice spacious bathroom with shower gel, shampoo etc already supplied. Parking on site was great considering how difficult it is to find in central Oxford. The hotel was happy for us to keep our car parked there for the day after we checked out so could we could explore the city. Not something they had to do was greatly appreciated. Free breakfast was wonderful with a wide array of choices. The breakfast room is lovely with views looking over the Thames. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m visiting Oxford. The hotel was great, but the staff are what really make it. Thank you for treating us so wonderfully. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82a81167-dc66-4ccc-a5f3-6ec92568fcb1-1762276974113.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/78a5122d-1d2b-40f3-b288-d64fc65c4857-1762276978705.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/868a9fe8-8a5d-4ca6-8b8a-ba339be558c2-1762276970909.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7405dd57-8908-43c0-9a85-af29a0df77c7-1762276972464.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Nov 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### One night stay.
