• High quality hotel - good food & atmosphere.
• Room was really too small to be comfortable for a couple but just about adequate for 1 night but no more.

“It would have been helpful if we were told that the room would be small and that it would have a just standard double bed. We suspect that these rooms are let to singles and/or internet reservations. We would not have paid more for such a room.
Breakfa”

• Very handy for Oxford.
  Good breakfast.
• Tiny bathroom.
  Small Pool.
  Expensive restaurant.

“Generally ok but the tiniest bathroom I have ever had in a 'quality' hotel! Room was small but ok. Long long walk to the room (they gave us the very last room for some reason!)
Seemed expensive, but handy from the M40 etc and visiting Oxford.
Good break”

• Room excellent, very modern and clean & tidy

“breakfast very dissapointing, overcooked and kept under lights too long, also partner ordered poached haddock, which had to be send back, as it had been microwaved and was solid. Also evening meal, supplements on menus, which if you did not realise could add quite alot to your bill.”

• Everywhere was clean and modern, having recently been refurbished
• bit of a trek to the room - no lifts due to layout of hotel

“Clean, modern building. Friendly and helpful staff on reception, in the restaurant and in the leisure club. Overall a very enjoyable stay.”

• Excellent staff who were very freindly polite and extremely helpful
• There was meldew on the pipes below the sink pipes below and around the bathroom edges which was not very pleasant

“Genearally ithink my stay was very pleasant and enjoyed the polite mannerism of staff who were extremely freindly and helpful. It would have been nice to have known that the swimming pool would be closed and the actual bathroom was more cleaner. The only thing that would stop me coming again would be the cleanliness of the room. The bathroom was slightly dissapointing and would hope if I viisited agin it would be cleaner.”

• Bedroom was comfortable and well equiped.Restaurant menu was very good.Although it was a christmas special.
• Leisure Facilities out of order for re-tiling but the hotel has just had a multi million ' face lift.No- one informed us of the closure during booking or check-in.

“I would not have booked this hotel if I`d known there would be no leisure facilities!”

• The bed.
• I felt it was very expensive at '140 for the night. We had to queue for breakfast and I was not aware it would be a buffet.

“The hotel was clean and staff friendly. It was however over-priced and the online booking was unclear as to what was included in my package (upgraded leisure facilities? for example). I would have preferred to have seen a schematic and comlete photographs of teh room for which I was paying. In terms of a room for '140 per night I would ave expected something fairly special; what I got was something fairly average.”

• The room we had was very quiet and generally comfortable - a good place to unwind after hard day shopping in Oxford!
• Only one very very minor thing - the wardrobe door did not shut fully, it kept sliding open! Otherwise, no complaints at all.

“The location was great. Reception staff were very helpful and knowledgable about the local area and buses to get into Oxford town etc. The directions to reach the hotel were very good as well, we found it without any problems.

It was a relaxing break, made all the more so by helpful and friendly staff. Id's recommend it to a friend!”

• The location was quiet and the actual hotel was very clean and modern, a recent refurbishment was obvious.
• The room was badly designed but stil comfortable.

“The location of the hotel is great for those not wanting to stay in Oxford as a '6 taxi ride will take you into the city centre.
Free parking was a definate plus as parking in cities tends to be overly expensive.
The hotel itself is of a very good standard and most of the staff are generally pleasant.
However the restaurant at the hotel is expensive with a limited menu.”

• Well appointed - comfortable bed, good tea/coffe making facilities/ ironing etc.
• Couldn't get the radio to work on the TV/didn't understand instructions

“Wasn't sure if there was a pool or not? Quite a long walk to room and no lifts? Superb food but sat by VERY noisy large group. We were asked if we'd like to move - said yes but then told the only table available was no further away. Later saw two more tables laid and another group asked to be moved there - not very happy about this but fortunately the noisy group left after half an hour. Went down to breakfast 9ish on Sunday - came back about 10.15 - still trolleys of room service dirty crocks in corridors from night before which I found surprising in an otherwise clean and pleasant hotel. My husband had to say 3 times that we hadn't been charged for a guest's breakfast before the desk would accept (good job we're honest!!)”

• Central location, clean and modern
• Room was very small (converted meeting room) but it was clean, warm and competitively priced

“Rack rates are very high (this is Oxford) so be prepared to haggle! Hotel is convenient for the city but rush hour traffic can mean long journies into the centre. The hotel seems to be well run and appointed with good quality food being offered at breakfast. The public seating area in the lobby was very cold even in early autumn. Our room was disappointingly small for a double but we did have the last smoking room left and might have had a bigger one if not for this restriction. Overall, this is a good place from which to explore the area or stay on business and avoids the frustrations associated with city centre hotels.
Taxi into the city will cost around '5-'7.”

• Tea and coffee facilities in room, but more milk needed.
• Booked a non smoking room, but room definitely smelt of smoke.

“Thought hotel overall was of very good standard, restaurant and food excellent, although this was reflected in the prices! '4.50 for coffee each!

Would consider using hotel again for short stays.”
