You must stay here.
This is one of the best stays we have enjoyed in a hotel. Everything was amazing and we felt so relaxed. The staff are helpful and friendly and the food was delicious. We had intended to eat out but ended up enjoying our meals in the hotel. It is exceptionally clean and well presented with attention to detail. The riverside walk into Oxford is a bonus. Thanks for a lovely special birthday treat.

Car parking charge
In advance of the stay I contacted the hotel on two separate occasions to query a charge for car parking. I was not aware of a charge being levied at the time of making the reservation. I have not received any response from the hotel to my two separate communications and disappointingly had to pay the charge on arrival/check in.

We stayed here when visiting our Son, it was just what we needed after a busy day around Oxford. Lovely comfortable bed. We requested extra pillows for our daughter and they were delivered to our room whilst we were out. Good selection of food for breakfast and staff were very attentive.

We booked be ause this hotel has air conditioning and the weather forecast looked like we might need it. AC is not readily avaliable in UK. Was disappointed that the staff said they would help with arranging transportation to Heathrow ( in email correspondence) and then when we asked at the desk, they told us to do it ourselves! And our second request ( for a late check out of 12:45) was denied. They said the best they could offer was 12:00. We ended up checking out at 11 and leaving our bags with them until 12:45. The hotel was also ill informed about taking a taxi to Heathrow. The taxi ( which took us to the bus depot) could have taken us directly for much less than the hotel quoted us. Disappointing. Also, the service to our room was below expectations. While fresh towels were provided, the damp ones were left behind. No facecloths. Tissues were not replenished. The decorative elemants of the beddings were not placed on the bed but left on a chair. The beds themselves were far too soft and lumpy. We asked for the toppers to be removed as we thought that might be the issue. No. The bed themselves were lumpy and soft.

It is a wonderful hotel in a quiet location near to Oxford with a nice walk along the river. The bit I didn't like is the car parking charges! £20 per night to park in the grounds of the hotel is just a rip-off considering the cost of staying there! The staff, food, rooms and facilities are wonderful though - just stop charging guests extra for parking IHG!!!!

Very comfortable bed! Friendly and polite staff. Excellent drinks from the bar and great location. The corridors need updating as they are very old fashioned compared to reception and rooms. Room wasn’t very soundproof and the shower pressure was poor. Overall a nice stay but slightly pricey for the standard.
