More training needed
Check in is at 1500 but we areived early as i had a business meeting i thiight id areange at the hotel. The plan was to.have lunch. We waited at the bar for about 10 minutes and there was no one at check out or to service. There was a number of guests waiting to be served. We gave up on drinks and thought we would get started without. Once this was concluded i joined my wife. Again i attempted to get a drink as there was a person behind the bar. I was told that its table service and she would come.across. Over 10 minutes went by and i had to go back over to the bar to then get served. We were the joined by freinds again we waitied at the bar. Which after a period of time the lady told me she had already said its table service so i should wait at my table. Then in the evening the night porter looked like he had ironed his shirt with a toaster was serving drinks which looked an entirly new concept to him which i can fully understand. The night sleep was poor because im not a fan of soft beds but i can only put that doen to my preference. Overall i believe this is a lovely hotel with poor quality of staffing levels. More training needed on how to look after customers.

Great place. Looking forward to returning.
Lovely staff Though slightly understaffed. Needed an extra person to run between two stations as the bar was often left with people waiting to turn up. The dinner in the restaurant was great. The service was good, but again I felt there should have been extra support. It's a 50 minute walk to the centre of Oxford (definitely worth it as its mainly by the Thames) or a 6-10 minute bus ride.

Really comfortable stay
Great stay at this recently refurbed hotel. Bed in double room was very comfortable, great having both a bath and a shower. Lovely Juliet balcony window with nice view. Hotel very dog friendly which was great for us and our dog. Parking availability was super and hotel only a short walk from bus stop right into Oxford. We also walked in along the riverbank - took about 40mins,

Great hotel, Fab service, check room locations!
Stayed one night for business trip. Room was very comfortable (as always) and reception and breakfast staff were above and beyond helpful (as always, and this is one of the reasons I come back so often). However, I stayed in an accessible room, which if you require this facility was excellent apart from the location. Ground floor main corridor with hard floors that bounce sound around. Also right by the lift which means people congragate, talk loudly and bash buttons etc at all times of the night. Then you're woken up by the staff going in and out of the store cupboard from the crack of dawn and the bashing their mop against the walls and doors as they clean the floors along the corridor. As I had already had a disturbed night due to chesty cough, a loud early morning banging on walls and doors was not the gentle wake up I wanted.

This seems like an older hotel, however my room was updated and very clean. The staff is super friendly and sweet. They are courteous and do their best to make your stay pleasant from checking in to checking out. I recommend this hotel if you are ever in Oxford! Their breakfast is great but most of all is the cheerful, warm welcome you’ll receive from Wendy as you enter the dining room. What a gem she is! I’ll definitely stay here again.

This hotel is nicely situated in the pretty village of Iffley, a couple of miles south of Oxford City centre. The river Thames runs close by and the lock at Iffley is worth a visit. There are also a couple of pubs in the village. It is possible to cross the river at the lock and walk into the city centre along the towpath (about 40 minutes). The hotel is clean, fresh looking and the rooms are comfortable. The staff are all professional and provide a warm, friendly experience.
