Reviews

We recently stayed at the River Hotel. The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. We were given early check-in which was much appreciated. The breakfast was delicious and wholesome. The hotel is old however the location and staff make up for that and we will certainly stay there again.

Great location, clean, lovely staff, nice breakfast. Hotel in need of some modernising.

Located a 6 minute walk away from the centre. Surrounded by scenic views & lovely pubs. Comfortable clean rooms & a tasty breakfast. The staff we met were extremely helpful & couldn’t do enough for us.

Excellent,needed to get in the room early and the room was ready upon arrival (9 15am). We had a pot of tea when we arrived and the breakfast was really good. We will definitely stay here again when we are in Oxford.

Very friendly staff. Great location for access to the City center. Parking available. Large excellent breakfast. Spacious clean room.All in all a very comfortable stay.

Great location, lovely friendly hotel with parking facilities and a lovely cooked breakfast. Will definitely return.

Well located hotel with friendly/attentive staff.Visited before and again content with Rooms, cleanliness etc

Just what I wanted.Close to New Theatre and good restaurants.Comfortable room, and good breakfast.

My room was perfect for me. A comfortable bed and a lovely breakfast was provided. The welcome and attention to detail was above and beyond. Having a car park and being such a good location to all the history of Oxford was just what I wanted. A short easy walk took me to the main colleges, shopping and lots of lovely restaurants. Having a lovely garden so close to the Thames was fantastic.

We had a comfortable stay.The staff were polite and friendly.The location was good, right next to the Oxford Station.The breakfast was lovely.There was a slight problem with the radiator (of the top room), but we had a pleasant stay, and would definitely recommend this to friends when they visit Oxford.

Thank you for your kind review.You will be pleased to know the radiator on the top floor has now been replaced.

I stayed for a couple of nights while exploring Oxford with a friend. I was very impressed with the hotel; the room was extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean, and everything I needed was provided. Breakfast was excellent.The owners were very welcoming and helpful.The hotel will certainly be my first choice when visiting again.

good location but quite expansive, value for money

Everything about the River Hotel pleased us - the staff, the rooms, the breakfast and the ethos.

Excellent location. Kind and supportive host and staff. Warm and tasty breakfast.Cozy and clean room. I liked it a lot.

Uncomplicated check-in even outside reception opening hours. Friendly service for breakfast. Pleasant, quiet and clean 2-star room.

The Hospitality is the best, the Location is very strategic, peaceful, and Clean, The breakfast is amazing. An excellent hotel run by a very lovely family. I will definitely come back!

Great location 5mins from the train station. Clean rooms, and good breakfast. Good communication from the hotel prior to our arrival. Very good price for the location. Would definitely stay again.

Breakfast is wonderful

The River Hotel was perfect for a short stay. Handy for the station and a short walk into the city either by road or a scenic walk via the river. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was basic but clean and the breakfast was lovely. We would choose the River Hotel for our next visit.

It’s our 12th time staying at the River Hotel & each year it gets better & better. Staff are very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. Great breakfast!Look forward to seeing you all next year!

Perfect hotel to explore the city. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Great vegetarian breakfast in the morning. Great for parking, even on the day we checked out, which was a huge benefit. Very friendly staff and excellent communication before arriving and whilst we were visiting. Woulddefinitelyrecommend and stay again.

This hotel is everything we needed. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. They accomodated our needs and were friendly while doing that.The vicinity was perfect with walking distance to the train and taxi station.I can wholeheartedly reccomend this lovely place on the River Thames where one can sit in the garden and watch the ducks and boats going by.

Great location, very welcoming and provided great suggestions for dinner and sights. Beds were comfy and rooms clean. Loved the luggage storage and even being delivered to our room! Breakfast was excellent. All round quality service. Highly recommend

Lovely hotel. Small, clean, fantastic breakfasts and close to nice pubs and the centre

Friendly staff serving excellent breakfasts.Hotel is in an excellent position for city centre and nearby river walks. Our bedroom perhaps needed updating but was clean.

A very conveniently situated friendly hotel. Comfy bed & tasteful furnishings. Wonderful breakfast served at your table. A rare treat. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, thank you so much ❤️

My best friend and I had a lovely stay at River Hotel. Beds clean and comfortable. Breakfasts plentiful and helpful owners

I had a lovely 2 nights staying here. Bed was very comfortable, nice uncomplicated bath with plentiful hot water and very helpful Andy at reception. Useful central location, despite the currentBotley Road reconstruction.

Great location,clean and tidy.Breakfast great and owners and staff polite,friendly and helpful.Would stay again

Have stayed here a number of times before, always a great welcome, great accommodation and amazing breakfast. Highly recommended

Just returned from a couple of nights staying at The River hotel.Lovely room, great breakfast and super hosts.Recommended hotel close to Oxford city centre and places of interest.

I had a lovely 5-night stay at the River Hotel.All of the staff were friendly and helpful, going out of their ways to make sure I was comfortable.And, this was by far the quietest place I’ve ever stayed in my life.My room was comfortable and clean, and met all of my needs.I commend Andy for his terrific establishment.

Firstly and foremost DO NOT LET THE ROADWORKS PUT YOU OFF , I found them as no inconvenience whatsoever, the owner suffering unfairly because of them is totally unfair ….a lovely stay (Fri - sun ) the room was clean the bed was comfortable and every amienety was provided , the breakfast was tremendous and plentiful sorted me out after a night spent in the city centre (a easy 10 min walk ) and finished the evening in the holly bush pub 2 minutes walk away , the hosts attentionto your every need was appreciated, great hotel great staff and a great place to stay .

excellent location, comfortable bedroom ,everything we needed down too perfection!delicious cooked breakfast every morning( served by Phil ) staff so lovely made our stay,we would definatly reccomend,

A charming old hotel with a great welcome, delicious breakfast and a lovely garden by the river to relax in.

Everything was perfect. The hotel has a very nostalgic and warm atmosphere. The staff were always friendly and welcoming. The room and the bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty and the restaurant gives a great view to the Thames River with ducks and swans swimming along peacefully. I am planning to come back to Oxford and stay here this time with my partner. And will surely recommend to my friends and colleagues. Thanks for all!

Great!

Perfect stay at the River Hotel ,very comfortable bed and very clean room,breakfast Perfect and Andy the host was helpful from check in to check out .Would highly recommend staying here and no doubt I will in the future as the location is spot on for everything.

Pros: Compared to other hotels in Oxford, this hotel was relatively more affordable.Parking was free and abundant, full included breakfast included, friendly and helpful staff.They provided a fan so the room was comfortable enough in the summer heat. 3-5 minute walk to train station. Quiet, away from the crowds in the town.Cons: hotel is a little dated, beds were a little saggy on the sides, with a higher middle, difficult to use sink with one hot water and separate cold water faucet. Tiny television.I would still recommend this hotel to anyone visitingOxford.

The most unforgettable thing is the breakfast every day, a perfect breakfast makes people feel happy all day long. The perfect location to complete the Oxford tour on foot.

The hotel rooms are somewhat dated and very basic, but if you just need a place to sleep and don't plan on spending much time in your room, it works just fine. Just don't expect more than a basic room with dated furnishings. Our room was clean, fairly small, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom had a jerry-rigged shower with a curtain railing installed over a tub. But it's a reasonable cost and the full breakfast was excellent. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Hotel 5 mins from train station and easy walk into town. Room comfortable (bit dated) but lovely old building. Had all necessary facilities and the breakfast was awesome. Hosts very friendly and helpful.

We had a lovely night’s stay at the River Hotel. Andy was very hospitable as were all the staff we met. The room was cosy and you could not ask for a better location. Right on the Thames, perfect for a stroll along the river and only minutes from the city centre.A tasty cooked breakfast in the morning set us up nicely for the day of travel ahead.Would not hesitate to stay there again.

The room was comfortable, the breakfast was really delicious and all the staff were kind and friendly. I could feel nice and relaxed during staying at your hotel thanks to your great service. Thank you so much!

Great location for walking into town and to enjoy the river. The bed was very comfortable. It was a good breakfast and friendly staff.

Very clean & tidy value for money. The Breakfast was beautiful the best we have had anywhere 😃 thank you very much

The room had a nice size, and the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was cooked to order every day, and Oxford city centre is just a short walk away. Rooms and bathroom a bit dated.

We loved the slightly old fashioned feel. Very clean. Food excellent. Hosts very friendly. An all round great experience

Very friendly hotel, lovely staff, simple room clean with all the amenities we needed. Great breakfast, romantic setting by the river.Lots of positives, outside the ulez zone, with parking. Only 10 min walk from Oxford Centre and great restaurants just around the corner.

The staff at the hotel were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The person on reception was knowledgeable about Oxford and was able to answer our "tourist" questions well. The breakfast room staff were excellent and the food offer good - cooked breakfast was fab! The room/ensuite were cleaned to a high standard and room serviced daily. Although we did not use the honesty bar, we had a look and it was a good idea. Great to have the parking available and the option to use it on the last day after we had checked out as we had our final look around the City before travelling. The slight downside was the comfort of the mattresses, which were too soft for our liking. The room was warm but a fan was provided and the windows could be opened. Loved the grass leading to the river which was a good place to sit to contemplate the day after breakfast! Hotel well placed for the centre of the City. Overall, a great stay! Thank you.

Very comfortable stay, and the staff are very cooperative. The garden is attractive and beautiful: Very nice view.

Great place close to centre.Clean and staff was really nice.Breakfast was wonderful.I would stay again.

Great boutique hotel just blocks away from attractions like Oxford Castle and Trinity College. Beautiful English garden right on the river. Great dining close by either in the city or go the other direction to avoid the bulk of tourists. The on-site breakfast was beyond amazing. So filling even our twenty-somethings didn't need a lunch. Even better was how well the staff took care of us. Can't recommend enough.

Tiny and nice hotel, with a friendly and efficient staff.

The room is cleaned and nice, the service is good. The only drawback I could think of is sound proofing

Very enjoyable with no problems!

Great location, comfortable beds and tasty breakfast.If you were driving there is a very handy car park.

Nice hotel. Excellent breakfast. Convenient for city Centre in pleasant location. No mod-cons or formulaic customer service that you get in hotel chains; instead, a very authentic experience. I would definitely stay again. A bit pricey but probably due to the university open days (which was the reason for our visit)

The hotel was beautifully kept and quaint. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and pains were taken to make sure my allergies were considered. Lovely back garden with a bench to sit on and watch the Thames go by. Very easy (less than 10 mins) walk into downtown Oxford. Loved it and would cerainly go back.

Welcoming, friendly, convenient. Very good breakfast.

Woderful hotel very close to city walking distance to all interesting places.

The hotel is located within a short walk of the centre of Oxford, and as there is free parking on site then it’s an excellent location. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the beds comfortable. The staff were very friendly and polite. The breakfasts were generous, very tasty and good quality ingredients were obviously used.

My friend and I spend two night at this hotel. Very convenient - 5mns walk - from the train station and roughly 10-15mns walk to city centre.The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Thank you for a lovely stay - highly recommended.If i have to pick on anything then perhaps people who have to vacate at an unsociable hour i.e. 4am could be advised to do so quietly and not bang doors as to disrupt the rest of us.

Nicely decorated bedroom. Breakfast room has a lovely view of the garden and the river. Breakfast was good, especially my poached egg.

It was a pleasure to be back at the River Hotel after 2 years. The welcome and the atmosphere are always so kind and attentive. The hotel is close to the train station, buses and the city center. Easy to come and go on foot. Clean, comfortable room, although the decor and furnishings are a little dated. Very pleasant to be able to sit in the little flower garden, towards the river. Excellent and generous breakfasts. A very good address. Thank you for making my stay so pleasant! See you in two years! Kind regards.

Nice little hotel with garden overlooking the Themes. Near train-station/Hop on-hop off station #1, Old but clean. Wasn´t able to open the window for fresh air which had been nice. The man who work there during the afternoon was extremely service-minded and helpful regarding sightseeing's etc. Thank you (we didn´t get to say good bye :O). The man who served breakfast was also very helpful. Minus was no "plant food" yoghurt/barista"milk" for coffee and cheese (informed that I was vegetarian before arriving) just marmalade which is fine if you like sugar. If you eat meat or like an English breakfast it´s perfect, some fruit (nice) but for me who doesn´t eat meat and like a nutritious breakfast it was harder. Took bananas on the toast. A bar was available (you signed on a list) even though no staff was on duty, which is a nice gesture to the guest. Comfortable beds. Over all, a nice little hotel who care about their guest. Hopefully more nutritious choices in the future. :)

Thank you for your review Yvonne and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us.All our bedroom windows open for ventilation, should you had difficulty with the double glazing you should ask.We should also mention we have alternative milks available, you just had to ask!

Clean, friendly and very traditional as an English B&B. Rooms was basic but comfortable.

Excellent staff, service, delicous breakfast, well appointed rooms and old British charm.Very helpful staff and nice location.The garden is a gateway to getting closer to nature with Thames at arm's length.Highly recommended for all age groups.

A friendly, well run, hotel convenient for the rail station and the city centre,where the busy neighborhood does not intrude and the location on the bank of the River Thames gives constant interest and pleasure.

My sister and I came to visit Oxford and did an overnight stay. Everything at the hotel was perfect. Very clean rooms, everything we needed from hairdryers, extra pillows, several towels, to toiletries and extra snacks we could purchase downstairs. Breakfast is included and was also good with lots of variety (and lovely waitress service!). On our second day we wanted to leave our luggage to make the most of the day and The River Hotel was most accommodating, we were able to pop back at 7pm to collect our bags and make it in time for our coach! We had the best time, thank you to the hosts - we’ll definitely be back!

Vert pleasant stay. Small twin but comfortable.Very good breakfast with self serve options and hot meal as well. Staff very accommodating.

Accommodations were nice.The included full english breakfast was very nice.My only complaint was that the included breakfast started at 8:00, which is later than most places we stayed, and we had to miss two breakfasts to meet our tours.

The River hotel is in a great location providing parking and allowing us to just leave the car and go around on foot. The room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and the breakfast was amazing!!! with wonderful service.

Convenient and pretty central location, clean rooms, friendly staff, lovely breakfast.

What a great place to stay in Oxford.Very convenient to the rail station and easily walkable to the city centre.Excellent proper breakfast served each morning.Staff were welcoming and very helpful.I would not hesitate to rebook another stay here.

We've enjoyed our stay a lot: good beds, excellant breakfast and very nice and helpful owners.We can recommend a stay there!

Clean and comfortable hotel in good location for city centre. Friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.

a cute little “basic” hotel. clean; nice staff, typical English breakfast. Great location for us on the Thames with a small garden and private parking space

Already many years ago I dreamt to visit Oxford...Now it became trough!The hotel had a vintage cosy character with very helpful personalities!I will certainly recommend River Hotel!

Staff are friendly helpful and amazing.The room was comfortable bathroom was little bit small.Breakfast was lovely asked what you wanted everyday. Didn't feel rushed when having breakfast.Definitely go back again

Hotel was really good and staff and service also.Nothing to complain. Breakfast was good and freshespecially compared with some chain hotels. I can really recommend

Selected this hotel for its proximity to the train station, Thames canal, and city center. It was a great choice. We enjoyed it immensely. We will be back.

I stayed a couple of nights in April for business. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the breakfast was tasty.

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel thanks to the kindness of the staff and the convenient and quaint location next to the river. The breakfast was very satisfying and the owner very accommodating. We'll definitely return.

Good location. Hotel very clean with friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.

Couldn't be happier with our stay at the River Hotel. Great location, hotel lovey. Very welcoming,and the breakfasts excellent.

It is always a pleasure to return to the River Hotel where I am greeted as an old friend. The breakfast overlooking the river is always a special moment.

We stayed at the River hotel as a last minute decision.The room was basic and a little dated and the bathroom small.However everything throughout the hotel was immaculately clean.The staff were all friendly and helpful.If you want 5* this is not the place for you.If you want a clean bed, a nice breakfast and to be close to the city at a reasonable price then River Hotel is the place.

Loved my stay - great location, big breakfast, comfy bed. Well stocked Honesty Bar with chocolate. Will be back!

A group of friends stayed here for a two-day break.It was a great location, very convenient for the station and a short walk to the city centre.Rooms were comfortable and well-equipped.

Comfortable middle sized room. A complete and excellent English breakfast to last great part of the day served in a cozy home-like decorated dining room.

Situated in a academic town, river hotel provides an amazing quiet place to stay after wandering around the city centre with tight schedules. The service is nice, complete and detailed. The view around the hotel is also good. There is a river next to it and it worths taking a few minutes to walk along it after dinner. The breakfast provided is delicious. Overall, a perfect place to stay!

Everything was wonderful. Delicious breakfast. Nice building located on the river. We felt very welcome.

I am so glad I found this little gem, excellent location with parking, only a 10 minute walk to the centre of town. Staff are super friendly and very knowledgable about the area. The breakfast caters for everyone, fruit, cereals, fry up (which was delicious), tea, juice, you name it they probably have it, if not they will certainly get it in for you.Even though there are roadworks happening outside the hotel, you do not hear them, it is a lovely calm and peaceful place to relax.Thank you so much, we cant wait to return.

Hotel was clean breakfast was great staff really helpful beds were comfortable great location will absolutely stay again when we visit Oxford

Very comfortable. Honest and friendly. A great location for anywhere in Oxford without having to use the car.Staff and owner where very friendly and helpful.

Very good location to train station and town. Quiet and clean. Staff polite and welcoming. Knowledgeable about tourist spots and free map given. Lovely breakfast (vegetarian) included.

The stay was very good and comfortable.We missed nothing during our stay.

Clean room, good breakfast, conveniently located at the train station, so overall a positive experience

Good location, well cooked breakfast, room let down by the cramped bathroom and hot water that took forever to come through (something which should have mentioned when we arrived we thought). Very pleasant staff.

We were very well looked after by the staff on our arrival, had a quiet and comfortable room, and enjoyed the delicious breakfast, cooked freshly for us in a lovely room overlooking the river.

We spent a Saturday night at this wonderful family hotel. Ideally located for a short walk into the town centre, and easy to drive to, a short distance from the A34.Spotleesly clean, warm and comfortable room.Amazing breakfast.Highly recommended and great value.

The River Hotel is located close to the City centre, with good car parking on site. Staff were friendly, and breakfast excellent. Thanks

Relaxing stay as usual at this friendly hotel.

....

The River Hotel is ideally located in Oxford very near the main railway station and a short walk to the city centre of Oxford.The hotel itself is clean and functional. The staff are friendly and very helpfulThe rooms again are clean but aa bit cramped in the bathroom. Overall, the hotel is comfortable but a little old fashioned. Perhaps for some this is it's charm. Needs a modernisation to bring it up to standards of other hotels, in my opinion

Absolutely perfect stay. All staff were welcoming, helpful and attentive. Full cooked breakfast was brilliant and had good veggie options. We would stay here again any time.

This hotel is a real gem.Right next to the river, a 4 minute walk from the train station, yet only a 15 minute walk from the middle of Oxford.A great breakfast, friendly staff, everything in my room I needed.The perfect place for a stranger - like me - to Oxford.

Stayed 3 nights with friends .. on arrival the person on reception (who’s name we unfortunately didn’t catch )was pleasant and helpful . Room was good , plenty of extra pillows available. Bit of a smallishbathroom for a family room . Complementary water was a nice touch .Great breakfasts each morning. Nice cosy bar area withanhonesty bar and a good selection of drinks .Phil the hotel manager was helpful , friendly and informative about things to do in the area andmade us feel very welcome in this family run hotel.. excellent customer service from everyone we met , lovely ladies serving breakfast . Recommend this small family run hotel , with free parking a real bonus too .

Very handy if you are visiting Oxford for theatre shows only 15min walk from hotel.Carpark is great too no worries where to leave car. A cosy and clean but very dated hotel and i think £160 per night is a bit to much to pay...i did find a cheaper price when got home for £97 so if went again i would look for paying that.

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was lovely with all you could require. The breakfast was delicious & the staff were brilliant & very friendly. I would totally recommend this hotel.

We had the best few days in Oxford. The hotel was great value, ideally located and the staff could not do enough. We had tea/coffee facilities and were able to store our cases after we checked out until we caught our train. Would definitely go back and recommend.

Friendly staff, lovely breakfast, good location.Old fashioned but adds to the character of the place.All very clean & all the facilties you need

Excellent stay very convenient location close to rail. Small hotel converted from a large classic home. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Proprietor was extremely helpful. Breakfast downstairs was excellent.

Perfect position to walk into town. Great breakfast and good host. Lovely garden next to the river

Not a bad stay, hotel is warm and everything worked as it should. Hotel could do with a spruce up, but it served a purpose for the new theatre.

Vwry pleasant all around. Comfortable bed, what more could you ask for? The two guys aat reception were extremely pleasant and they were way more informative than the guy at the Informarion Desk at the Oxford Station.

Andy is a lovely host, accommodation is conveniently placed for train station & town.Comfortable & clean, adequate for our requirements. Breakfast is excellent, as is the cold selection. Would stay again if visiting Oxford.

Warm, friendly, comfortable and convenient for Oxford city centre.

Stayed 1 night with my family when we visited Oxford. Hotel is small but good location, about 15mins walk to the city center. Owner's recommendations to have dinner in the nearby pub turn out to serve one of the nicest pizza we have eaten. We have to leave early the next day & couldn't enjoy the bfast provided but the hotel is so kind to allow us to take some cereals & fruits & juices back to oyr room so that we can have bfast on the go.

Comfortable,quiet and friendly. Very reliable hotel.

We had a lovely stay , room was comfortable slept really well , although close to town it was so quiet, breakfast was delicious will certainly be back😊😊

I stayed with my granddaughter and we found the hotel to be perfect for our needs. It was warm and the staff were friendly. The room was very well appointed, the beds comfortable and the cleanliness was of the highest standard. The service at breakfast was very efficient and the food wasvfirst class. An added bonus was the proximity to the station.

Nice atmosphere and great cooked breakfast.

Good place to stay. Very near from the train station, and has wonderful breakfast. Might book again when I visit Oxford next time.

Good location and parking for walking into city centre.The manager was very welcoming and helpful. He even prepared a hearty sumptuous English breakfast.Recommended.

Simple straightforward room in an old historic building, centrally located, with room window overlooking the Thames. Room was quiet, bed comfortable, everything clean and safe. Staff are great. Yes the floors creak, nothing’s luxurious, but I had a nice stay.Thank you.

Good directions from the hotel (given the major roadworks ongoing), easy to find and park. Ideally placed for our early business meeting at the University (we walked and left the car at the hotel). Clean and comfortable. Nice cooked breakfast. The River Thames was quite a sight that evening - very full and fast flowing.

Friendly helpful staff, warm rooms comfy beds and a very good breakfast.

Lot of plus points - location, reasonably priced, exceptional choice at breakfast, comfortable beds. Bottled water, biscuits and honesty bar which wouldn't usually expect given rating. Helpful staff. Quiet.Initial impression on arriving - decor quite dated,especially the bar area. Bathroom floor and bin could have been a little cleaner.

V comfortable; most helpful, pleasant service

A quiet, clean place and a friendly staff

It was my second occasion staying at the River Hotel. As in the past, my time there was enjoyable. The room was comfortable and spotless, the staff was cordial, and the breakfast was delectable and freshly prepared. Many thanks!

Great breakfast and location.

Welcoming and friendly Hotel, nothing too much trouble.Great breakfasts and comfortable rooms.Position is perfect - close to public transport, City Centre and the River Thames if you like a stroll!

Easy walk to centre but without the noise and bustle.Every welcoming touch included.Hope to stay again soon!

Lovely stay at the river hotel brilliant location with on site car park comfortable clean rooms very helpful hosts and perfect breakfast

Very nice location close to the river, but still central. Very helpful friendly staff, good english breakfast. The single room is quite small, but has windows overlooking the river which was a big plus!

This hotel is convenient, beautiful, and next to the River.Kind staff and owners. Breakfast was delightful. The rooms were spacious and well put together definitely would recommend to friends.

The room was clear and nice to stay in.The bathroom was OK. the shower head is extremely not clean and need to be replaced.

Hotel near Oxford train station with a quiet river view. Staffs are nice & helpful. My room (standard double room no. 7) is clean, tidy & quiet. Breakfast is fresh cooked by order. Within 10 minutes walk to city Centre. No fridge inside my room. I’ve stayed for two nights with good satisfaction.

We (family of 3) stayed at River Hotel for 2 nights and it was a very pleasant experience. We checked in quite late at night but it was not an issue and was organised for. The breakfast and service both were excellent. And the location of the place couldn’t have been better. Just a couple of minutes walk from the train station and a 10 minute stroll into the city center. If we come back to Oxford, we would love to stay here again. A big thanks to Andy and the team for making our stay comfortable.

Nice room but I was lucky that there was no traffic outside due to roadworks. Otherwise it would have been impossible to sleep with an open window.When I had to leave early it was impossible to get any breakfast.Very useful help to find a parking spot for my coach nearby! Thank you so much!

3 nights, easy to find from train. Room comfortable, not fancy but didn’t want that. Staff are friendly and professional. Had room with separate bathroom , no issues, still in your own hall. A lanyard helps to hang the room key so you don’t get locked out. Breakfast service is quick and very good. Would stay again.

A very comfortable two night stay at the River Hotel which is very nicely placed for the city. Breakfast was very good and the staff helpful.

We appreciated the great service, great breakfast, convenient location to the river, bus and train stations. East walk to Oxford colleges.

Excelent hotel, location and delicious breakfast.Great if you could have an elevator!

The service was excellent, room was clean, breakfast was exceptional. But price was a little expensive.

A good base to visit the centre of Oxford.Clean and tidy if basic but did what was required as an overnight stay from our journey down to Dorest.Breakfast was an absolute pleasure and excellent service would highly recommend.

The River Hotel is an extremely pleasant place to stay in Oxford. Without exception, all the staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was immaculately clean and well presented. Breakfasts were tasty and plentiful. Very enjoyable indeed.

The River Hotel met all our expectations and we can fully recommend it. Clean, quiet, excellent breakfast, close to the railway station and city center.

Nice and kind service, good breakfast, a little garden close to the river Thames where you can sit down. Not far from the center of Oxford

Pleasant hotel, close the Oxford city centre and railway station. Clean rooms with everything you need. Breakfast was cooked well and it was tasty, just what you need to start the day. On-site parking which is a bonus so close to the centre. All and all a great hotel.

Good value hotel, easy to find with good car parking and convenient for the centre & right on the Thames. Comfortable & relaxing room. Staff very friendly & helpful. Breakfast delicious, lots of choice. Would recommend to anyone!

Really enjoyed our stay, all staff went out of their way to help you, nothing was too much trouble, hotel is convenient for everywhere in Oxford, plenty of choice for breakfast and really tasty, lovely big rooms and nice and clean, tea and coffee in rooms, plenty of towels, big car park right next to the Thames, which is a bonus, very trusting owners and really relaxing stay, would definitely come again.

Very helpful and attentive staff. Room really satisfactorily although a walk-in shower would have been much preferred. Breakfast was excellent and one of the best we have ever had.Lovely location at the riverside, convenient for super riverside walks and close to the bus and railway stations as well as the city centre.We look forward to returning.

Service, room, cleanliness, breakfast all fine. For us the mattress, which was not old, was harder than we would prefer.

The best and familiar option

Spent a fab few days at the River Hotel. Great location on the river but only a 15 min walk into the centre (30 mins if you go the picturesque route along the river tow path). Pleasant breakfast with lots of choice. Room clean and comfortable with a relaxing en suite. Parking was an added bonus and a must in Oxford. Thank you.

Location and breakfast is great

It was really what I was looking for, reminding me my first staying in UK many years ago.Host kindness and breakfast were fantastic, view from the windows to the Thames really great.

Wonderful location, very close to Westgate and train station, and exllent breakfast.

We spent two nights at the River Hotel, which was a pleasant stay.The Hotel is located within walking distance of the city and it is next to the Thames. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden looking over the river.Our room was a good size with our own separate bathroom. It was clean and tidy and very pleasant. The staff were very helpful and they made us feel very welcome. There was a good choice of breakfast and the cooked breakfast was lovely. It was good value for money. I would recommend the River Hotel to anyone who wanted to spend a few nights in Oxford.

A great small hotel, very friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Great access to Oxford city centre. Great to be able to park at the hotel and walk into the city. Really close to the train station too.

When looking for a hotel in Oxford I wanted reasonable price and convenient location. The River was both. It's not luxurious....you'd have to pay a lot more for that! It is, however, clean & comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is great with a good selection. Location wise it's 5 minutes stroll to the centre.

The River Hotel is only a few minutes away from the railway station; ideal for train travelers. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, the two rooms we had were comfortable and clean. Excellent breakfast, freshly made and a big choice of continental and english breakfast.

Hotel was very nice and clean,staff were very helpful and friendly,very good full English,very short walk to city centre.

great breakfast but a lot of steps

Splendid location, short walk into town, close to beautiful walks, friendly staff, lovely breakfast. It's our second stay in the hotel, there's a great feeling as you walk through the door.

Good place, decently cleaned jusy meters from the oxford train station.

Good experience. The hotel is old and this is its charming. It is located at few minutes of walking from the centre. A very good breakfast included.

Well situated with good sized car park. Rather a lot of stairs to bedrooms. Breakfast was very good, selection of cereals and fresh fruit and fresh cooked eggs, bacon, etc. Friendly staff and, I guess, reasonable price for Oxford.

Service was brilliant. Rooms clean,not the greatestViews. Very helpful too x waitress/waiters were very respectful enjoyed our stay would go again.

Close to the train station, within walking distance of main shops. Also close to gloucester green for bus.Clean rooms, linen clean. Excellent breakfast with continental n cooked option! Its a traditional place, punches above its 2 star rating!

Great Location, nice room very clean. Excellent breakfast. Very helpful younglady at reception. We really enjoyed our stay.

Hotel was clean and my room was nice and spacious for a single. Bathroom opposite was very clean and supplied with ample amounts of hand wash and shower gel.Breakfast was nice and had a decent amount of bacon which is my favourite. Annabel was welcoming and works very hard.My only criticism (and it’s very minor) was there were no biscuits left in my room for the last morning at the hotel.Five stars from me, keep up the great work!!

Vary cosy hotel. Clean and quiet. Really kind staff, excellent breakfast at the buffet and cooked at the moment. Very secure and convenient private parking. Easy to walk to the city centre.

I had a lovely time in the river hotel - thank you for being so kind and helpful

Great location on the Thames path with a lovely walk into Oxford. Free car parking a bonus. Great communication from the hotel re roadworks prior to our stay which meant we arrived without incident ! Lovely freshly cooked breakfast included in the price. Room very clean but would appear dated for those who cared but we loved the turquoise tiles

So the location 100m from the railway station is great. There is ample onsite (behind) parking for cars. Parking in Oxford is VERY difficult and soon to be a 'low emissions zone', only. The River Hotel is currenlty outside the zone. The staff/hospitality are excellent. Great, cooked to order, breakfast. 200-500m to restaurants/pubs and middle of Oxford - flat and easy 'on foot'. There are stairs to negotiate outside and inside the Hotel. Nice lawn area. Beds comfortable. Very helpful staff.Disliked · To be blunt, they need to spend some money and upgrade the 1980s decore, especially considering its expense. A 17", crappy, LCD TV doesnt cut it. Small room. Tiniest bathroom; literally cant fit 2 people. Some noise as its on the main road but not too concerning. No AC - a problem in hot weather. Fan provided.

Stayed for 2 nights for oxford university open day with son. Room clean and has everything you need including new full shower gel and shampoo bottles. Hospitality tray and biscuits provided. Breakfast really lovely with cooked and other items such as fruit yoghurts and toast etc. We were also accommodated to have an earlier breakfast due to our coach departure and needing to be at University college for opening. Staff friendly. They do an honesty bar where you take what you want and fill Firm I to pay later when leave. Will stay again if visiting oxford.

The Hotel was comfortable with a good breakfast. Easy access to center of Oxford

Thank you very much to all the staff in the hotel and to the owner who helped us at the end!Unforgettable!

The bed was nice

Central location, quiet and walkable to area restaurants and attractions.Great front desk staff.

Terrific breakfast. Helpful staff. Very clean. Great location to train station. Thank you for a very nice stay.

We were pleased with River Hotel.It reminds me of my hometown which is with beautiful gardens and the flowing river.Kind, Clean and Good distance :)

Cooked to order breakfast with a selection of table buffet.Kettle and hair dryer could be improved.Rooms are decent for price paid and clean.Closure of bridge was a blessing with less traffic in front of the hotel.

Hotel mit nostalgischen Charme in romantischer Umgebung und trotzdem sehr zentral gelegen. Das Doppelbettzimmer war relativ klein, aber ruhig gelegen. Zimmer und Bad waren sehr sauber.Frühstück war gut und reichlich und wurde in schönem Ambiente serviert.Das Personal war extrem hilfsbereit. Ich werde das RiverHotel jederzeit meinen Freunden empfehlen und gern wieder buchen.

Very comfortable old fashioned private hotel situated very close to the Oxford railway station. Very pretty location on the River, with a pleasant garden to sit and reflect. Cooked breakfast a highlight and staff very friendly. Only downside was some noise from the night works nearby. Ask for a room away from that side of the hotel. Would stay again.

We have stayed here anumber of times before for a military Reunion/AGM. As always the staff were welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast amazing it also has a lovely garden by the river/Oxford canal, great to sit in with a cold beer!

I stayed here with a friend, to explore Oxford. The rooms are basic, but clean. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the breakfasts are delicious, with a large choice. Location wise it is a 5 minute walk (not speed walking by any means) to Oxford train station and about a 15 minute walk to Oxford Castle. If you are on a budget, this is a great place to stay.

Very enjoyable stay in a friendly hotel.Outstanding breakfasts.

The Moto " Large enough to be comfortable-- small enough to be friendly" really fits the Hotel. Reception on arrival gave an atmosphere of care for one as a visitor, nothing was too much trouble, everything was explained. Our room was reasonably small but as we booked late and took the only room left it at was more than adequate for our needs, comfortable and clean. I would book again.

I was in the room 11. Ok, it was not the fanciest and most luxurious place where I ever stayed, but it was perfectly clean, very comfortable (I slept very well), absolutely quiet and in fact really charming in its old-fashioned decoration. The staff is very professional and dedicated. I enjoyed the very pleasant garden, and the breakfast is just awesome! I would come back without hesitation!

Enjoyable, comfortable stay in family room for 4 nights. Friendly and attentive service, with great, filling breakfasts that accommodate individual dietary needs. Only a 10/15 min direct walk into city centre, or slightly longer (paved) riverside walks there - one of them passing Osney Lock. Ideal being able to leave our car in the hotel car park for free for the whole 4 days. Would stay again.

I stayed with two old friends. Oxford was a convenient place for us all to get to . The hotel was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The breakfasts were good. The owner was very helpful with restaurant suggestions. Cote and the Bangkok restaurant were in easy walking as One of us was walking slowly with a stick which was kindly lent by the hotel.I had ideas of sitting in the garden by the river but there was only one bench but a small lawn with chairs.My only problem was getting there by car as the bridge by the hotel is closed for several months and I did not find the directions clear. I had to phone as satnav was useless. I was given more helpful directions then. Once the bridge is reopened ,access will be much better.Walking access from the station was good round the roadworks.

Perfect location near a lovely river footpath leading to the Christ Church and other sights of Oxford.Easy walking location, and easily accessible by bus.Beautiful garden, nice English breakfast and helpful staff.The room was small but as expected, and comfortable and well maintained.Included on-site parking was abig plus.

Friendly and helpful staff, good location, excellent breakfast. Shower was a bit inconsistent but otherwise a very comfortable stay.

Really fantastic location, fantastic breakfast too! Bed was super comfy and the staff were lovely before and during the stay, going over and above to help.

We enjoyed our one-night stay at River Hotel. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Although the decor is traditional and dated, the hotel is clean and a pleasant place to stay. Also, its location is good; a short walking distance from town, with an alternative route along the riverbank, which is an enjoyable experience on a lovely sunny day.

Friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, hot shower with great water pressure, excellent breakfast, great location just a few minutes walk from the station, short walk to the city centre and hotel sits by the river so easy access for a walk along the towpath to reach the centre a different way.Only negative was our room was a bit small but we didn’t mind that much!

River Hotel is a small clean and comfortable hotel near to Oxford train station. Despite building works going on at the station, it was very quiet in the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast included a good range of choices, including cooked and cold options. I had a very good stay

Too small and shorts beds

The River Hotel helped make my trip a great experience!! A very comfortable room and and a fantastic breakfast helped start my day. Care is taken to make all visitors feel welcome.The grounds are conducive to sit outside alongside the river.

We have stayed here many times. The location is excellent, with the added bonus of parking. My husband loves the cooked breakfast; cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back in the future. Many thanks

I stayed at the riverside for four days the staff were absolutely fantastic from booking in to leaving breakfast was second to none with a continental and full cooked English the hotel itself was very clean with wonderful surroundings Thankyou for having me and myself and my company will definitely be back

We had a lovely 2 nights at the River Hotel. The room was clean, service was great and breakfast was delicious. Affordable hotel with free parking walking distance to Horsham, will definitely stay again.

Stayed here for a midweek break to enjoy the city and it’s many museums . The hotel is well situated by the river within walking distance of the city centre . The facilities are good and comfortable and the breakfasts are excellent . All in all a reasonably priced hotel in the traditional style .

Stayed here for an overnight when we couldn't get the car rental on the bank holiday.Clean comfortable room if a little dated. Breakfast included was a welcome start to our day.Great location.

Would stay here again.Short walk to centre of Oxford.Comfortable bed and quiet room.Free car parking. Lovely location next the Thames.Pleasant staff.

I had, stupidly, booked the wrong date for my work trip and only realised the day of my stay, I was very kindly accommodated and couldn't have been happier with how smooth it went. My stay was quiet, clean and very comfortable. The added, thoughtful extras in my room made my stay feel special. I will be returning, hopefully for a not-so work trip next time!

The hotel is very well located, just before the rail station as you approach Oxford from the west and just before the work being done on the rail bridge - no access problems. My room, a standard double, was as described, with older furniture and bathroom fittings but perfectly adequate and everything worked. One big plus for the hotel is that it has parking and I left my car both before I checked in and after I checked out whilst I walked the 15 minutes into Oxford. The cooked breakfast was also good.

Good accommodation, comfortable bed, clean.Breakfast was very good with excellent service. The hosts were very thoughtful and helpful.Location by the river is beautiful.

Small hotel in a quiet location overlooking River Thames and close to Oxford station and city centre. Friendly helpful staff and clean comfortable room. Definitely will stay again if I am in the area

The hotel was excellent. The staff were helpful,polite and very welcoming.The location was very good. I arrived by train and it was about 5 minutes walk from the station, yet near the city centre and next to the river so a nice walk along the river and through parkland.

The location was convenient and the room was old-fashioned but clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and served a very nice cooked breakfast.

The hotel was very nice, clean and also very friendly & helpful.

The staff were very friendly and the hotel room itself was very inviting and cosy feeling. Breakfast was also great and checking in and out was super easy. Will definitely be back.

Hotel room was clean & tidy.Breakfast/buffet was very nice.Lovely garden overlooking the river.Good location,only 10minutes walk into Oxford.Enjoyed our stay 😃.

We chose river hotel as it was close to the city centre. We often travel as a couple but it was first time for us travelling with a 5 month old. It could not have gone smoother thanks to the hotel. They gave us a room that was easy to access and I was able to store my mummy milk in there fridge. At breakfast all I had to do is hand thesterilising bags over and they microwave these for me. I’m fussy with a cooked breakfast but had nothing to complain about here; loved it. They also provide cots! The decor and music playing made me feel like I’m staying at my grandmas. Very nostalgic. I would highly recommend this place!

Great. Nice and polite team. Very hospitable. It was really a pleasure staying at River Hotel

Enjoyed our stay at the River Hotel.It was clean, comfortable and perfectly located.The breakfast room was pleasant and the continental breakfast was excellent.

Very comfortable & welcoming.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. I would like to stay there again. Thank you so much.

The hotel far exceeds its 2 star rating.Great location just ５ minutes’ walk to Oxford station. The room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. The owner was very welcoming and helpful.

I stayed for one night with my youngest son, in one double room and one single. Both rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet, en-suite with over bath power showers. Great breakfast with a lot of choice. I would highly recommend the River Hotel as a great place to stay and only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Oxford. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

My daughter and I found the hotel to be clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was excellent. Parking on site was a big bonus too.I would recommend this hotel and be happy to biok again on a return visit.

Nice hotel, great location and friendly staff

Very agreeable place:friendly host, top breakfast and clean rooms (can benefit from some upgrading though). Very well located.

Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff.A comfortable stay with good selection of breakfast foods.Short walk to centre of Oxford.If we visit again we would stay here.

Clean roomsAmazing shower pressureLovely breakfast included in the morning - excellent poached eggs.10 minutes into townWould highly recommend

This is a wonderful spot to stay in oxford, everything you'd want to see and do is so close.Our room was clean and stocked with the usual tea and coffee. The shower was ideal for us too.Will definitely be back in the future!

Ideal for visiting Oxford with car parking outside the zero omission zoneFirst class Breakfeast friendly service

I liked the River Hotel very much:- location: just few steps from the railway station- easy and clear instructions for self check-in (I arrived late because of strikes)- tasty and generous breakfast- friendly personnel- clean room + bathroom- good wifiOne thing I was not impressed with, however, was the window - I felt drought and heard some noise from the road in the morning on a working day.

Very clean, comfortable & friendly. Delicious breakfast with ample choice. Perfectly situated for easy access by car with parking. Short walk into town.

Our second time here & a very pleasant stay. The room was very clean & the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, nicely cooked & we received good service. Staff were friendly & attentive. Will be returning!

This well-located hotel has a spacious and secure car park, ideal for a mature couple visiting the Oxford museums and exploring the area on foot.On arrival, I went to Reception and the gentleman on duty (Andy) offered to help carry our luggage to our room. This considerate standard of care was applied to all aspects of our stay.Our room was a good size and comfortably furnished. The windows were well-glazed so we experienced no noise issues. The central heating was very efficient, and we noted that extra bedclothes were provided in the wardrobe, if required.Our accommodation was very clean, and everything we needed had been provided.The high standard of care also applied to the well-designed and maintained garden.We enjoyed excellent hot breakfasts on both mornings, cooked exactly to order with good quality ingredients.We will not hesitate to recommend The River Hotel to our family and friends; with just one "negative". There are a few steps up from the car park to reception, so this lovely hotel may not be suitable for some people who have mobility issues. It's best to check with the hotel before booking.

A comfortable, attractive room, delicious breakfasts cooked to order and lovely staff - the riverside setting couldn’t be more convenient for both the centre of Oxford and very pleasant walks by the Thames.

The River Hotel provides a perfect stopover option for anyone visiting Oxford. It is superbly located for those walking the Thames Path and is just a short walk from the centre of Oxford. The car park is a bonus (and we were able to book and pay for an extra space at lower cost than the public car parks in Oxford). We received a warm welcome and the breakfast was just brilliant (we enjoyed a full fry-up and fresh fruit/cereal).The room was clean, warm and comfortable with an ensuite. Overall we thought it provided excellent value for money. Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay at River Hotel. Convent location with parking. Clean and warm room. Very well cooked breakfast with quality ingredients. Needs updating in areas (bathroom, shower) but this is out weighed by the positivesStaff smart, friendly & helpful, particularly lady who served breakfast, who gave very good advice on how to get too Christ Church College by taking a pleasant walk alongside the River adjacent too Hotel.

A lovely hotel very comfortable and clean; professional, helpful and friendly staff; delicious cooked breakfast overlooking the river and Osney bridge. Moments away from the Thames footpath and conveniently located for work in Oxford libraries as well as bus and train stations. Good selection of pubs and eateries in the immediate surroundings. I would certainly come back.

We stayed here as my friends daughter was registering at Oxford uni it was a nice clean room lovely friendly welcoming staff breakfast was fresh and lovely we will come again

The hotel is currently being refurbished and we were in one of the recently redecorated rooms. Bathroom was a little cramped and had no heating so was chilly (early March) but there was plenty of hot water for showers etc. Staff were all friendly and the breakfast was very good with gluten free options.

Can highly recommend this hotel, perfect location on bank of Thames with lovely garden and ample parking. Room had everything we needed and was nice and clean. Breakfast was delicious. Ideal for river walks or to get into town to see the many attractions. Lovely friendly welcome too. Thankyou. J & K

I have been staying at the River Hotel regularly since 2015. I have always felt welcome,the staff are friendly and great breakfasts. Train and coach stations 10 and 20 minute walk away. Ideal.

Very good location. Convenient and clean.

The place is very nice and welcoming, the bedroom was in clean conditions. I loved the old English house ambience. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

We have stayed at the hotel on a number of occasions. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Excellent breakfast. Always a friendly welcome. We will be returning in the future.

We really enjoyed our 2 night. The room had everything we needed. Great location 10 mins to centre. Very handy with onside parking. Great breakfast to start the day cooked fresh to order. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable.We enjoyed a walk along the canal path to the boathouse.

Very nice hotel with lots of character but the main plus was the excellent location - it's just a short distance from the railway station and buses. I needed to be able to get to the John Radcliffe Hospital easily (buses every half hour), but I also wanted to be near the centre of Oxford as well. The hotel was also very accommodating when I needed to add on a couple of extra nights at short notice. The rooms were clean and had everything I needed. The breakfasts, cooked to order, were very good, and the staff friendly and helpful.

Lovely and friendly staff, our room was a good size ,clean and tidy. Tea and coffee provided and toiletries. Lovely breakfast with table service and beautiful views of the river. Cooked full english, cereals, and fruit as well. Oxford centre is about 10-15 minutes walk via main road or 40 min walk following the river.

I can't really think of anything negative to say about this place. A lovely Victorian villa style hotel in a great location by the river. Super location for dropping the car off in the car park and leaving it there for the duration as everything is in walking distance. The room was very clean and comfy, the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay again the next time we come to Oxford

Location is good, easy to go to city centre. Staffs were all nice.

Lovely location, quite close to the station but also close enough to the city centre. bus stops dotted near the hotel which was ideal for us as we used the buses while in oxford. the man who greeted us when we arrived and when we checked out was extremely welcoming and friendly, showing us a map of oxford and the main attractions within the city. our room was clean, cosy and perfect for what we needed. overall, a very good experience and we will definitely be rebooking if we ever return back to oxford!!

We booked parking and the location was excellent with is being so close to walk into the centre of Oxford. The staff were attentive and helped us with directions and nearby attractions to visit. Would use the car park again and defo would stay at the hotel next time if we could.

Really enjoyed our stay, room and bathroom very clean and spacious,all the staff were friendly and could not do enough for you,excellent breakfast with as much tea and coffee as you wanted,heating was on all day and room had all amenities needed,large carpark and everywhere within short walking distance,will definitely stay there again.Thanks for a lovely experience.

Recently I’ve spent 3 nights at the River Hotel and it was very comfortable, with a great English breakfast included and very clean. I will book again in this hotel for my next visit to Oxford.

Very friendly staff. Basic room but cozy. Calm, relaxing atmosphere. We definitely relaxed during our stay. Beautiful view in breakfast room.

Only stayed the one night but everything very good.Made a pleasant change from the big chain hotels.The check in was simple and advice was given to help us plan our day. Rooms were clean and had everything you need and the breakfast was very good.

From the moment I phoned to book the room for one night all staff have been friendly and helpful. Lovely hotel very close to the railway station

El hotel es encantador, muy acogedor y su personal muy amable. En limpieza le ponemos un 10. Apesar de estar en la primera planta no se escuchaba ningún ruido. Tienen un pequeño saloncito con un minibar del que puedes coger tu mismo la bebida y escribirlo en una hoja que entregas después en recepción. El desayuno fenomenal, puedes pedir un desayuno inglés completo que te cocinan en el momento y tienes además fruta, yogures y cereales y algún dulce. Muy cerca de la estación de autobuses y de trenes y a 15 minutos andando del centro. Tan solo echamos de menos que tuviesen una máquina de café, algo caliente hubiese estado fenomenal tras llegar al hotel con -3 grados en la calle. Repetiremos si hay ocasión. Oxford es precioso.

It was a place ver y comfortable but our favorite aspect was the gently of the service. Breakfast lovely.

River hotel is a litteratur Old and worn, but it is familiar and you fejl your selv like Home. We Will be back WHEN wecomeback to Oxford

Our stay was everything we could have wanted. Clean and comfortable, delicious breakfast, plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Great breakfast, timely and attentive waiters. Clean and comfortable but a little tired in places, especially tha bathroom. Overall, good value for money.

Although this hotel is given only a two star this might just apply to the fact that the building and furniture is not modern.The service we received was brilliant.Very clean and comfortable rooms, exceptional breakfast, friendly personal service.Nothing was too much trouble. Only 10 minutes walk to the city centre.

This is the second time we have stayed at the River Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. Warm and cosy room with very comfortable bed and plenty of storage space. Lovely to have both shower and bath and always plenty of hot water. Delicious well cooked breakfasts with plenty of choice and situated overlooking the Thames. Very pleasant. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.

it was wonderful to stay at the river hotelhope to come back soonG

Very welcoming and spotlessly clean. I would definitely stay again.

An easy 3 minute walk from the train station and only 10 to the bus depot. A beautiful walk can be taken along the canals through the city starting just outside. Rooms are comfortable and kept well.

Wonderful location only 15 minute walk to the centre and universities, Andy was extremely helpful we only stayed one night but would definitely stay there again

Close to town, the River Hotel enables an easy walk to the Oxford cbd; or an easy walk along the river. It is close to the rail station and close to hire car outlets. The staff are amiable and the breakfast is delicious, especially the kippers. Parking and wifi, all good😁✔️

All good. Loved the location- 15 minute walk into town. Right by the river. Parking on site.Warm welcome, staff helpful and friendly. Room was a but dated but very clean. Comfy bed. Shower was fine.Would we go back - absolutely

The River hotel has everything you would wish for from a small family run hotel - friendly and helpful, free parking, fantastic breakfast, a short stroll into Oxford center and right next to the river walks, we really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to the next one.

It's everything it states. Very clean ,staff are really helpful.Breakfast as good as I have had anywhere. Short walk into the city centre.Parking also available. A price that is well affordable

Clean, welcoming, lovely home cooked breakfast with attentive staff. Ideal position for walking by the river & into town.

Rooms basic but comfortable.Management helpful. Location brilliant for railway station and for getting into the city.Free parking. Breakfast outstanding.

A small hotel with friendly and helpful staff.Berry close to centre of Oxford and near railway station.Room was clean and welcoming and good breakfast served in dining room with pleasant view of Thames.

Small, friendly hotel with parking. Lovely cooked to choice breakfasts. 10-15 min walk from town centre, so a quieter location. Clean rooms, bathroom small but functional. Friendly staff.

Had a lovely stay, very clean and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast delicious and quality products freshly cooked.Good location, just close enough for easy access to town but not noisy

The host was very responsive when we needed help .English breakfast was excellent n the poached egg was done in perfect way 😍

Comfortably appointed rooms, nothing too grand. Has a friendly, intimate feel. Staff were attentive, non intrusive but friendly. Well placed by the river and only 10-15 mins walk from the centre of town. Very good value for money. Recommended.

Delightful and helpful owners both when checking in and during breakfast this morning.We very much appreciated the small touches - from magnified mirrors for doing make up - proper bottles of shower gel etc.Very comfortable beds and toasty warm room.Easy parking.Right next to the railway station and just a short walk into town.Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect hotel for location, cleanliness and value for money .

Friendly, professional staff who provide a good breakfast with excellent service.The hotel itself could be updated without spoiling its historic roots and would benefit from this.However, there is plenty of hot water and the shower is efficient.Good location especially if travelling by train.

I was visiting Oxford for the Bob Dylan concert on 04 November 2022, and wanted close proximity to the city centre,on site parking,breakfast and safety. The River Hotel ticked all these boxes, plus, the staff were courteous,friendly,polite & helpful. Couldn't have asked for more

The hotel had a great location, comfy and clean with helpful and attentive staff. It was also very good value with an excellent breakfast. Would certainly recommend this hotel.

A great location, welcoming staff, clean and functional rooms. Appreciated the small touches (such as a teapot on the complimentary tea tray in room)! Breakfast was a great inclusion with a decent range of choices and very promptly served. Free parking was a bonus too. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent choice for any activities in central oxford as large safe car park and easy walk into city centre. Room was clean and comfortable with everything you need including bottled water which was a nice bonus. The bathroom was a little dated and cramped but functional. Bed was very comfortable, and I got a good night's sleep. Breakfast was very plentiful, tasty and hot. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Good value.

We stayed here for one night. Plenty of parking and was happily allowed to leave our car whilst we explored Oxford after check out. Breakfast was delicious, served by friendly staff, definitely better than a two star breakfast. Room was clean and basic, with tea and coffee provided. Would thoroughly recommend and would stay again if in Oxford.

Old independent hotel very well located close to the city center. Staff very nice & car park behind the hotel. Room for 3 with a teenager, quite comfortable with very good beds. Probably need some refresh in the bathroom and the carpets.Breakfast so so : med quality for 1 slice of bread & industrial juice and you have to ask for everything (should explain what is available).Globally : good stay

Response

thank you for your review.refurbishment of the rooms on the top floor, including new carpets has now been completed.

Excellent location. On site parking. Comfortable room. Breakfast is very good. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.

The River Hotel was nice. It combines modern comfort with traditional British life, which is what I would consider to be a classic English habitation. The breakfasts were substantial and excellent. The personnel was excellent. (I also had a unique experience with them; they were the only ones who could provide me with an invoice; neither at the train station nor in the bookstores nor in the eateries could they even comprehend the request.). In conclusion, I enjoyed my time at the River Hotel.

My wife, my son, and I, enjoyed a pleasant two-night mid-week stay at the River Hotel in Oxford, finding the rooms to be clean and quiet, and the Manager most helpful with advice on tourist routes within the city.The breakfasts were excellent, and the view out onto the river most relaxing.

Had two nights this hotel. Lovely hotel right next to the river, close to the centre and train station. Breakfast so yummy and the best on this trip.The owner and staff so friendly and made you feel welcome… ❤️So helpful.. highly recommended to stay in Oxford. Would be back again in the future 😊

This hotel had everything we needed for our short visit to Oxford. Very welcoming and friendly and good location by the river.

We only booked the room and parking. Despite being on the main Rd and at first floor. It was really peaceful and very clean. Close enough to walk into the city which was great. I would definitely book again and maybe include breakfast next time.

A real gem situated close to the City Centre, the River Hotel can be warmly recommended. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The full English breakfast is freshly prepared and everything is well-organized and professionally run.

Cosy little English style hotel with what you need for a nice visit in Oxford.

Very Nice.Great Breakfast

I absolutely loved the room provided everything I needed. Also so close to centre of Oxford,would definitely go back there.

The River Hotel is a very charming hotel in Oxford although some rooms, like the one I was need a refurbishment. Five minutes to the station and 15 minutes to High Street. Very nice english breakfast and very kind and professional hotel staff. Reasonable price taking into account how expensive hotels are in Oxford.

Response

thank you for your kind review.refurbishment of the rooms on the top floor, including new carpets, will start later this month.

Booked a two night weekend stay here, we wanted somewhere just to lay our heads but got a lot more! The staff were lovely, offered to bring new towels & extra pillows, room super clean and honesty bar was well stocked with very decent drinks! Would stay again!

Hotel very close to Oxford Station and ten minutes walk into centre of OXford. Lovely walks along the towpaths around the city. Recommended

Good location near train and bus station. Also near city center in Oxford. Breakfast is available

We stayed at River hotel for 2 nights and loved it. The location was perfect, close enough to all the sights. I loved being able to walk along the river in the evening, it was so peaceful. The staff was wonderful. Very responsive to emails even before we got there. We had to leave very early on our last day. The gentleman who was at the desk the evening before went out of his way to make sure that we could have some breakfast the next morningway before the dining room was open. Also, the nightly rate was very reasonable.

Thanks to River Hotel team for accommodating my requests and making my stay comfortable and pleasant. The rooms are comfortable, the service and breakfast are great! Strongly recommend!

The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was filling with both a cooked or continental breakfast available. The hotel is minutes from the train station and taxi rank as well as the hop on/hop off buses. All the rooms has a separate fan or electric heater available and if you haven’t enough sockets the hotel can provide extension cables.Please not the rooms are clean but if you’re disabled there are a lot of step into the hotel and up to the floor as there is no elevator installed.

The River Hotel is centrally located near the railway station. The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly. We had the full English breakfast everyday, the the breakfast room was light, airy and well run. We would highly recommend the River hotel is staying in Oxford

I stayed at the River Hotel from Monday the 5th September through to the 9th while on a training week.I found it to be clean and superbly located (close to city centre and right on the Thames for beautiful morning runs).The staff were all very helpful and the breakfast was excellent with bacon and perfectly poached eggs every morning.There is a nice familial atmosphere in the hotel which is rare nowadays. Staff were were very helpful and obliging to me and I observed them being so with other guests.I will certainly be staying in the River Hotel should I return to Oxford which hopefully I will.

I have stayed twice at the River Hotel. It is very conveniently located for my everyday access to my class at the Said Business School and Oxford Uni Campus. The stay was comfortable and the hot breakfast served on request is an added value. I have booked my future stays at the River Hotel.

I felt very welcomed and enjoyed my brief stay.I liked the informal atmosphere.It was very clean and well organized.Will hope to come again.(Don't understand what 'Review Title' means!)

This is a good spot for Thames Path walkers to stop, and offers a comfy night’s sleep as well as a hearty breakfast. Nothing fancy but charming enough to warrant a second visit from us.

Old building with its quirks, but overall ok.Breakfast was limited, but good.Staff are helpful.Location was great and everything was easily walkable.Train station really close.

We were made so welcomeThese people had honoured a booking I made two years ago before CovidSo we decided to stay a couple of extra nightsGreat location right on the Thames great breakfast couldn’t wish for better!

A thoroughly charming and comfortable stay, oerfect location for the station and City Centre. Very clean and comfortable with a splendid breakfast.The decor is a snapshot in time but that adds to the charm.It has an honesty bar too, any hotel with an honesty bar gets our vote!

Lovely old hotel just outside of the centre.Great for parking and a sweet garden area overlooking the river. Rooms were comfortable and clean. I say rooms as we requested a move because of a knee/stairs problem. Andrew said he would see if he could do a bit of juggling, just pack our case and leave it and on our return, we had a new room.Many thanks for that.The breakfast was lovely with everything freshly cooked.All of the staff were extremely helpful and courteous, nothing seemed too much trouble.The only slightly downside was that the stair carpet was a little worn and tired looking.We would definitely stay here again should we return to Oxford.

We really liked the River Hotel, yes - rooms are basic and dated… but really clean and comfortable. The owners were great, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast catered for all with plenty of choice. We took a lovely walk along the river into Oxford centre and ate at a restaurant recommended by the owner. The parking was a huge bonus… plenty of space and we were able to leave the car for much of the day we checked out to again explore the city. Definitely recommend and would return should I visit Oxford in the future.

Comfortable twin room with good facilitiesQuiet and comfortable. Good locationas base to explore Oxford

We loved our stay at River Hotel. The room was spotless and a good size. The beds very comfortable, we didn’t hear any noise from the street we slept very well. The location is ideal to visit Oxford, a few minutes walk from the center or a longer and lovely walk along the river. We could drop our bags earlier and leave them after checking out. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

A very comfortable and pleasant room

Thanks for the stay, service and good breakfast.

The hotel is situated in a great location, 10 minute walk into Oxford. The accommodation was comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Clean environment polite and flexible staff. Charges for breakfast and parking send but I do not have any other rates to compare it against.

Very attentive. Great location. Muchas gracias.:)

The service was super friendly, the room was clean and ee got a great breakfast. The hotel is perfectly located for all excursions.

Sehr gut gelegenes Hotelzimmer einer tollen Stadt. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und haben geholfen unseren Aufenthalt sehr angenehm zu gestalten. Das Zimmer mit Bad war super, ebenso das Frühstück. Der Weg in die Stadt war zu Fuß bequem zu gestalten. Der Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption war ganz toll.

Great location, friendly and very helpful staff, large and well equipped room, but no air conditioning in the room, and bathroom floor could use some maintenance

The staff was very welcoming and helpful, the bedroom and accomodations were very comfortable, and the british-style breakfast was delicious!

Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.Great location and facilities.

My wife and I had an excellent stay at the River Hotel. Both the front desk and breakfast servers were attentive and helpful. The rooms were clean and breakfast was prompt and good quality.

We had a great stay - the staff was friendly, the location was superb (incl. the garden overlooking the river), the room was clean. Overall it suited our family visit very well

Just back from a busy weekend in Oxford, and we were lucky enough to stay at the River Hotel. A few minutes from the station and overlooking the river. Friendly staff and a great breakfast!There was a problem with our taxi which didn’t turn up, which would have made us late for our daughters graduation, a member of staff, overheard us discussing our predicamentwith the receptionist and he immediately said he’d give us a lift, we arrived in time, thank you! definitely above and beyond.

We had a great stay at River Hotel. Our room was comfy, clean and had everything we needed …. Including a fan! Like other reviewers we agree the bathroom flooring is due for renewal but, honestly, it’s a great place to stay with lovely hosts. Breakfast every morning spot on, all only an approximately 7 mins walk into the centre. We’d defo stay again. Recommended.

I stayed five nights at the River hotel.The location is great! Just a few minutes from the train station and walking distance from downtown.The hotel is by the river, which makes it very picturesque and inviting. There are several paths by the river by the mooring boats, which are very nice to walk and can also be used to get to different sites in town.I worked during my stay and had no internet issues. The staff was very nice, and the place is very quiet and organized.Overall, I had a great time.

Dicht bij Oxford station, aangenaam hotel, heel vriendelijke ontvangst, lekker ontbijt, fijne kamer met zicht op tuin en rivier, koffie- en theefaciliteiten en veel flessen water in deze warme zomer!

Another great stay, the hotel & staff as always were fab, our room was as always comfortable & immaculately clean. The hotel is ideally situated, a few minutes walk from the station & less than 10 minutes from the centre & being situated on the river there are lots of great walks to be had.

We booked a weekend away. The hotel was in a good location with a free parkingThe staff were very friendly and a good hearty breakfast. The only issues is that the room was a little dated and the bathroom was on the small side also the room was very warm even though they provide a fan.

River Hotel was a pleasant place to stay for our fist trip to Oxford!The staff were great, the breakfast stellar and right on The Thames Path was a plus for us!We love older places to stay that have charm and character and River Hotel did not disappoint!

As my title said ,clean ,comfortable,friendly.I was visiting Oxford with granddaughter to visit university,so did the job as we were out all day .It’s a shame the properties next to it are looking very run down ,as didn’t make the area inviting ,having said that I would stay again as close to train station and easy walking to the centre,and river walks.

Great little hotel.Very clean, welcoming staff, and an excellent breakfast with great touches such as fresh tomatoes rather than tinned.It was ideally situated, being about 10 minutes from the city centre.

Great location. Great breakfast. Great rooms. We come back next time we are in Oxford.

A perfect location. Especially if you arrive by train: 5 min from the station. But tbere is a parking if you drive. Very friendly staff. You can reach Oxford center by walking close to the the river rather than walking on a busy road. Everything is perfect : cleanest bathroom, good beds, good breakfast....

Thank you Andy, and all you staff, for making us feel so welcome at your Hotel. And we appreciate all the sight seeing advice you gave us, as we’ve never been to Oxford before. We would definitely stay at your Hotel again. Thank you.

The hotel could do with a little update, the lighting in the room was especially annoying, but it is clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff are exceptionally nice and helpful. The breakfast is great, lots of choices, including full English, prepared according to your wishes. Also, the location is very central yet quiet and well placed for a walk along the towpath.

We really enjoyed our visit,nothing was too much trouble by staff,will certainly book again if visiting Oxford.

Excellent hotel with friendly staffGood breakfast selectionHotel was clean and accommodating

I stayed at the River Hotel for nearly 2 weeks in July 2022. I had a great experience with the hotel and staff. I stayed for 2 nights in the main hotel with my kids, then for about 10 nights across the street in their annex for a longer term stay. It’s a clean hotel, the staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating. It’s less than a 10 min walk from the heart of all the activity in the center of Oxford, which made my room nice a quiet. It’s a very quick walk to the train station and an easy walk to the bus station, both of which I utilized. In the annex, my window was large and it was very bright with a great view, which was a plus. When I return to Oxford, which I will because it’s a lovely city, I will plan to stay here again.

Nice place, confortable, well located.Very good breakfast.

The staff was very accommodating. The location was perfect for walking the river trail and into the Oxford campus.

Nice place, well cared for, good location not far from City Centre.

While the hotel is dated it has a lovely charm about it.It was very convenient to the train station and a short walk to the main part of Oxford.Our host Andy was very friendly and helpful in every way catering to all our questions.

My first stay at the River Hotel, despite many previous visits to Oxford. Small hotel, friendly atmosphere, the room was clean and tidy and the bed very comfortable. En suite bathroom was user friendly, including a strong and easily adjusted shower. The location is perfect, overlooking the Thames with easy access to riverside walks and with the city centre no more than 10 minutes walk away. The ample space for car parking is a definite plus in Oxford. The breakfast was excellent - good choice of fruit and cereals, and well cooked eggs, sausage etc. Only downside was the chaotic breakfast service every morning, with orders mixed up and delivered to the wrong tables, no printed breakfast menu, and complete lack of any apparent system to it all.

I am always made to feel that I am a welcome guest - my stay has always been enjoyable and nothing is too much trouble

The staff was very nice and accommodating. The location was very handy to the railway station and for walking to the town Centre. However I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the bathroom.

Centrally located and easy to reach, I very much enjoyed my stay at the River Hotel. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful throughout and offered great advice about where to go and practical support. The hotel is close to Oxford station, but calm and situated near charming residential areas and the name-giving river, so great for an evening stroll to recuperate after a busy day. Room was not big but well equiped for a single business traveler. Excellent bed and complimentary tea+coffee in the room made it easy to wind down or even work using the wifi. Breakfast was plentiful and made by your choices, only to note that a possibility for an earlier/longer breakfast time than 8-9 would be greatly appreciated . I would recommend to stay here and will be glad to visit again myself.

When was the last time you were greeted at the door and your suitcases carried to your room?When was the last time travel arrangements when checking out were provided? And not just a simple call to reserve a taxi but assistance and recommendations to assure success in making your next connection?All this, a clean room and a delicious cooked to order breakfast each morningadd to the pleasure and comfort of staying at River Hotel.That was my experience, and why I highly recommend River Hotel.

We don't normally do surveys etc, but we just wanted to say thank you for a really great stay. We were on tour in Oxfordshire and the River Hotel was one of quite a few we stayed in throughout the holiday.Everything was just spot on for us - location, parking, facilities, room, breakfast - and the friendly service where nothing was too much trouble!Thank you for everything once again :)

Everything was nice.Room, breakfast. Convenience to town

My wife and I came to visit Oxford, we were very impressed with the River Hotel with its location right on the river! It was quite basic but very clean and comfortable and reasonably priced. Excellent on site car parking. The full English breakfasts were superb, with lots of extras. The staff were extremely friendly, pleasant and helpful. We would definitely come here again!

We have stayed here many times because we like comfort, cleanliness, parking and excellent breakfast. The location is also very convenient for an easy walk into the centre of Oxford.

Location was perfect for what I wanted to do which was wander around Oxford. Being right on the towpath was amazing. The family running it very kind considerate helpful. Breakfast was amazing. I feel like I really lucked out with this place. And the price was unbeatable!

View on the Thames River. calm, comfortable. Not luxury but very good! Very pleasant staff. Located 4 minutes from the train station, very convenient. Easy to get to downtown.

Great location for a long weekend - easy in and out with good parking.Close to city centre and river side walks.Friendly, helpful hostBrilliant cooked to order breakfast!

I have stayed here a number of times before, the staff are always courteous, friendly and helpful and the rooms clean and comfortable, being an old building there are stairs to negotiate but this is not an issue unless you have serious mobility problems.Gardens lead down to the river and are well laid out

Good location near the station and Thames path. Friendly staff. Room was comfortable and well equipped with tea/coffee making facility.

We stayed here for 2 nights when visiting the city for concerts. This hotel was fantastic - location, welcome, value for money and comfort all 5 star. Would definitely stay again

Enjoyed the charming staff and great location.

Small room, but met our needs for 3 adults.Comfortable beds, great breakfast.Parking was good. Cheerful staff. Location was perfect for walking into town. Would definitely recommend to family and friends!

Ideally placed for exploring Oxford. The hotel was very clean and the room although small was very comfortable. Some of the public areas could do with some TLC but overall an excellent stay which offered value for money.

The rooms are simple but lovely, and the staff is excellent. I had a lovely breakfast and overall i can surely recommend this place. The reception staff member helped carry my bag upstairs and even to next the neighbouring hotel where i was staying next. That was so kind.

A very nice hotel with friendly staff and lovely breakfast. We always use this hotel for our annual visit to Oxford.

It is always a pleasure to stay at The River Hotel.Pleasant location, traditional cooked breakfast andefficient and friendly staff !

We needed a friendly stay near the station but with parking and knee from a stay 2 years ago this choice was ok. We called up and got a deal on a small room. Location great gardens nice rooms tired and breakfast super.

Lovely hotel on a prime location. Great breakfast. Friendly and cosy. Great bed. Bathrooms might need some renovation but were functional and clean. Bathroom room 18 not realy suitable for people over 6 foot 2. TV was a bit small considering the size of the room. Overall we thought this hotel was perfect for a couple of days in Oxford. Will certainly book it again when visiting Oxford again. Good value for money.

Hotel goodLocation rooms not bad breakfast ans staffLovely

Convenient for the station and city itself. Very good breakfast and service. Nice and clean.

Clen peceful and convenient, staff are a credit to the place. Wish I had found this place 4 years ago, instead of stying at over rated , over oriced other hotels in Oxford. Room a boit o the small side but more than adequate

The River Hotel staff were very welcoming. Our room was clean and airy, and we had everything we needed. Cooked breakfast to order in the morning was delicious. This hotel is very well positioned for access to trains, busses and the centre of Oxford. Walks along the canals were very pleasant. we would stay here again were we to travel to Oxford again.

Very welcoming staff and good breakfast! Had a great couple nights sleep too.

Thanks for everything

Very welcoming host. Hotel was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for a couple of nights stay. Breakfast was plentiful and well cooked.Only slight downside was that we had an elderly member of the family who needed a wheelchair and there was no step free access to the hotel.This is an older property and it does have creaky floors and some interior doors that were noisy to open and close but this did not detract from the overall pleasant experience staying there.The hotel is also ideally situated for the theatre and centre shops and attractions.

Very pleasant situation to visit the town.Breakfast good.Thanks to the manager and the staf.

Not only was our breakfast lovely every day but the hospitality and customer service was outstanding! Our bags were even carried to our room the first morning while we joined breakfast late. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Comfortable room. Convenientlocation. Excellent breakfast. Added bonus is parking, a necessity when staying in Oxford.

The hotel is good located and the staff is kind and helpful. Room minimal but good in size and furniture. The breakfast freshly prepared is a plus.

Well organized, warm and quiet hotel, near the railway station. I really appreciate the possibility to switch on the heater

Facilities in the room were good. We expected to find an iron in the room when the cost of our attic room is taken into account, but a communal iron was eventually accessed.The bed was comfortable, and we had a good night's sleep.Our full English breakfast was tasty and did not leave us feeling hungry.We would book with you again.Juris and Carol Ezis

Excellenthotel for theatre trip, helpful staff and breakfast great service and cooked to guests requirements

Petit hôtel très bien situé à 5min de marché de la gare et 10min du centre ville. Chambre certes petite et mobilier ancien (Ikea) mais très propre. Nous avions une chambre côté parking donc calme absolu. Staff très accueillant et souriant, petit déjeuner anglais parfait. Bref, je conseille fortement pour ses atouts. Pour les rares points à améliorer, il convient de comparer les prix avec les autres hôtels et le choix est vite fait.Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir.

Stayed here on the 18.5.22,location,perfect for city walking distance,River on your doorstep,room was comfortable and clean, reakfast good selection of hot and cold food.

Always relaxing and reliable at this friendly hotel.

We stayed two nights in a room with a private bathroom. Everything may be a little bit older, but clean and functional. The breakfast was great. Freshly served and rearly delicious.

So convenient for Oxford.Very friendly hotel with fabulous breakfast and some amazing family run restaurants within walking distance.Very pretty location near the river but short walk to train and bus stop for hop on hop off bus.

The River Hotel is in a superb spot to explore Oxford. The staff couldn't be more helpful or pleasant. The rooms are on the small side but have more hanging space and drawers than many larger rooms we have stayed in, and were very clean. The large car park is a real bonus. Can highly recommend and we plan to come back for a longer stay later in the year.

This hotel is easy to walk to from train station.Close to the center of Oxford.Staff friendly and helpful and gave great information about what to see in Oxford.Room clean and even though it faced the main road out front the double pane windows kept the room quiet and I had no difficulty with noise day or night.Lovely walk along River. Great hot cooked breakfast or buffet.I would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed Our stay in this charming hotel directly AT the river Thames and close to the Train Station of Oxford.Especially the breakfast was very good, freshly made and personally served!

As many previous reviewers have found, this small hotel is ideally placed near the railway station and the centre of Oxford. Clean, comfortable rooms, with good freshly cooked breakfasts, friendly staff, and car parking available ! Would recommend the River Hotel to anyone who doesn't appreciate a modern all concrete and glass hotel with very little soul.

A nice hotel for a stop-over. A little dated but clean and comfortable. Walk into town via the river or main highway. Very nice breakfast and friendly staff. The en suite bathroom is rather cosy but adequate. Bring your own toiletries. ….some provided but limited. Comfortable bed with a shortage of pillows. A pity about the doors closing early and having to gain entry around the back of the building up some steep steps to use the keypad. Parking good. Overall pretty good.

I wanted somewhere inexpensive to stay for one night where I could get a bit of work done ahead of a meeting in Oxford. This hotel was right by the station but with lovely views of the river, extremely quiet. The room was clean, tidy and had everything I needed. The bedroom had been recently decorated, though some of the fixtures and fittings in the bathroom were slightly showing their age cosmetically. But everything worked fine.

Excellent service - I arrived at 11.30am after travelling from Scotland on the sleeper train into London (*without getting much sleep!). My room was ready for me, clean and with a very comfortable bed and a neat and spotless en suite. Quiet in the room despite the hotel being on a busy road. Hotel clearly very well cared for and although some of the decor / furniture is a little dated I was delighted with the place. I didn’t book for meals, just my room, so I cannot comment on the catering. I will definitely be back!

Our experiences was very nice. People is very friendly and happy to help you. Breakfast was very nice - good quality and plenty of choice.

Lovely hotel, very clean, comfortable, nice people. Breakfast is awesome. I had a great time. Many thanks!

The stay was very good perfect location the staff are wonderful however only few things i would like to point out the wifiwas very slow we could not watch movies on our tablet and the TV connection was very poor also the noises from the wooden floor at night

very friendly staff, delicious breakfast (cross buns on good friday!), we could left our luggage

The service was very friendly and everyone was courteous.The food was very delicious and great variety.

The check-in/out was seamless, the location is amazingly beautiful and within walking distance to the centre, walk along the Thames very pretty. The room was warm and the first time in our life we slept through the night in a new place. Very homely.

Thanks excellent location, free parking.Lovely breakfast, waitress helpful and nothing too much trouble.Rooms a bit dated and could do with a lick of paint

Clean room and good breakfast, the service was perfect.Located 5min from the train station, perfect to go explore Oxford.Would go back for a next stay in Oxford.

As usual we were made very welcome at the River hotel. We always make it our base when we go to Oxford. So conveniently by the station and on a main bus route to the centre if you don't wish to walk. Staff always very friendly. Would heartily recommend.

Very comfortable stay as always,relaxing and welcoming!

Fab stay in a great location, for bus and train links. Also easy to walk into city center. Location very good for local pub and excellent Chinese restaurant.Hotel staff we amazing, nothing too much trouble and breakfast options were great.Hopefully we will return in the future.Thanks

Fantastic location, and great value for money. Simple room with all the necessary basics, felt like a bedroom you would find in a normal house. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was great - and was nice to offer vegetarian and vegan sausages too. Honestly, location is GREAT - 15 min walk to town centre, and right on river so could do walks into town or walks towards meadow fields! Great parking too! Felt very welcome :)

Very convenient location, close to station and easy walking distance into town. Room clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast, good quality ingredients beautifully cooked.

Great location, and hosts excellent, very friendly and informativeHotel very clean and free parking in Oxford!!!!Enjoyable stay if only one night

nice small hotel,clean and tidy, friendlyand helpful staff.

we stayed at river hotel for one night as it was close to the theatrewe went to, the staff where so friendly and welcoming, room very spacious and clean, nice cooked breakfast on Fridaymorning.Would book again next time I will be in oxford

Lovely staff and breakfast and very easy walk into town centre. We would stay here again

Ideal venue for attending conference at the King’s Centre, comfortable quiet room, very good breakfast. Good sized car park. Enjoyed my stay thank you.

We were at a conference at nearby King's Centre. So this hotel with its parking was perfect. Great welcome on reception, clean rooms and great breakfast. The hotel is as good as it could be without a major refurbishment.

We booked a nights stay here after a concert at the New Oxford Theatre & we picked the perfect place. Ideally located,very close to the station & shops, free parking & Wifi, a wonderful breakfast, basic but a clean & comfortable room & very friendly & attentive staff. Thank you for making our stay such a pleasant one. We will be back on sure.

Nice little hotel. Basic room but perfectly adequate. Staff were superb. Sharon couldn’t do enough to make our stay pleasurable. Very good breakfast. Short walk to centre. We will be back!

Small room and fairly basic, but comfortable enough and appreciated having a bath. Nice staff and good location being a 10 minute walk to the city centre. Decent value for money given that Oxford appears to be a fairly expensive place for hotels.

Very nice hotel, wonderful breakfast and good location and great staff. Definitely would come back.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable rooms, good breakfast, and friendly staff. All in all an excellent place to stay for a weekend in Oxford. Easy walking distance to the town and reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommend the River Hotel.

The River Hotel has many advantages: free on site parking, 10 minute walk to city centre, 2 minute walk to the station, superb breakfast, friendly staff. However, the room is very dated (although very clean), the pillows were not at all supportive and the room was quite chilly.There was a radiator but this didn’t work. Thankfully there was a halogen heater to plug in. I liked the idea of the honesty bar, but it would have been nice to also have access to extra supplies of tea, milk, etc.The room I would give 2 stars but because the breakfast and location were so good I think 4 stars are deserved.

River Hotelhas a warm and welcoming atmosphere, very conveniently situated for Oxford and the station. Parking is a great bonus.to be recommended

Fab hotel and great location....ten mins walk into the city centre.....friendly staff and lovely breakfast.....would deffo stay again

We can't recommend this Hotel enough. From the free off road parking, the friendly and helpful welcome, the well cooked and presented English breakfast, the spotless bedroom and the short,flat walk into the city centre, it's everything you could want for a city break. Will certainly visit again if we get back to Oxford.

A few minutes walk from the centre of Oxford with a free car park. Spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly.The receptionist/ waitress Sharon was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was very good.Thankyou for a lovely few days.

My husband booked the short stay as a surprise for my 60th birthday. Unfortunately my husband was unwell so unable to go so my friend came instead.The hotel were so accommodating. They changed the room from a double to family room. The room was clean and comfortable. When checking in the people were so friendly and took time to explain how to get into Oxford via different routes and what was around.We made use of the honesty bar the first night and treated ourselves to a wine in the room. The second day we followed the river into Oxford and spent the day exploring. The hotel was in a prime location and so easy to find everything. My husband had booked tickets to see a musical in the New Theatre. This was very east to find.Breakfast was delicious and there was a lovely view overlooking the fast flowing river. The whole stay was very good value for money.Kay Ford

We loved the hotel, it’s an older building but that does not affect your stay, it’s gives it character, with friendly staff, who are very helpful and it has everything you could need, lots of little special extra’s including an honesty bar, excellent Gluten Free breakfast.

Brilliant position just around the corner from the station and a short walk into the city centre. Not a massive room but very good with all facilities required.Excellent breakfast cooked too order with vegetarian option. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.

Quaint, detailed, quiet and spotless Inn. While the roomsare on the smaller spectrum, they are perfectly maintained and serviced. Reading rooms and self service bar were also highly appreciated. I never made it to breakfast but it smelled delicious. Five stars

Friendly staff, easy access to the centre of Oxford despite been on the main road ,I didn't here a thing...comfortable bed slept well

Our second stay at the River hotel. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. The lady who served us for breakfast was very friendly. Additional bonus was the parking. We will definitely be staying here in the next couple of months- convenient for visiting our son at Uni😁.

Convenient, clean and comfy hotel.

Really nice, comfortable hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location and a well cooked, substantial breakfast. Parking available, which is another big plus. The shower was very hot, but difficult to adjust. That was the only downside. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

So nice to be in a hotel which is not part of an anonymous chain. River Hotel was charming and full of character as well as having a well-appointed room and friendly relaxed staff. We shall come again.

Enjoyed our stay - friendly informative staff great breakfast - thanks for everything Clive & Marie

I had a lovely stay in oxford. Its easy to walk into town from the hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. The team very very helpful and friendly. Will happily stay again when next in Oxford

My friend and I stayed 1 night for a visit to the threatre , on arrival talking to the lovey helpful lady on reception asked if we would like any taxi booked which she kindly booked for us no problem, couldn’t help anymore if they tried . The rooms were basic but clean with comfy beds and everything you needed, lovely breakfast too , would recommend and will be returning

Excellent location, accommodating and friendly hosts, very good breakfast.

Very nice definitely coming back 👍

The hotel had two great positives. Location to the city centre and all its attractions and parking. It was also clean and welcoming. The reception had alk the information we needed to make the most of our visit including info about local restaurants. Breakfast was good and again the staff could do enough to ensure we enjoyed the experience. Certainly was another visit in future.

Very pleasant stayLady at reception waslovely and very helpfulWarm and comfortable room

We always stay here on our trips to Oxford because it is comfortable, clean and good value with a fantastic freshly cooked breakfast and buffet. Having a decent sized car park is also a plus.

Ideal position for our visit. Special diets catered for. Staff pleasant.

Veryfriendly staff well looked after home from home

It’s lovely and friendly. We stayed for three nights mid week in December 2021. We are greeted by friendly Sharon who made us feel very at home. She went above and beyond. Will definitely go back. There was no scrimping. Breakfast was lovely with extra toast and extra eggs and as much coffee as we wanted. In the room there were more biscuits each day and the towels were changed and the bed was made. All very nice.❤️

Lovely stay in a convenient location and a cosy room with everything I needed. Every member of staff I spoke to was extremely kind and friendly. Thank you!

A lovely stay in this central Oxford Hotel next to the Thames. Parking was easy on site and a comfy bed. Friendly staff. Could do with modernising but very fair price for what we needed. Lovely old building too!

Was a nice place to stay easy to get to the Christmas Market..easy to find and good to be able to leave car here....bed was nice and comfy. Breakfast was good .staff very friendly and helpful.would definitely stay there again if we visited again

Great location for Oxford City Centre, hotel was cleanand friendly . Breakfast was fresh and hot. Would100% stay again.

If you are looking for a hotel that is modern and with up to date decoration this is not the hotel for you, but if you are looking for cleanliness, comfy beds and lovely staff and best of all the most amazing freshly cooked breakfast( I had kippers and scrambled egg which was gorgeous) and free parking then this is definitely the hotel for you. We had a lovely one night stay when going to the theatre which was only a 10 min walk away, if we visit Oxford again we will be back.

Brilliant location, easy parking, friendly staff, clean and good breakfast.Some pastries and better bread would have enhanced the breakfast more maybe and a more modern feel but overall a brilliant and comfortable stay and will be using again.

Great situation, reasonably priced, helpful staff. I'll be back.

Lovely hotel, small but offers everything you need.We like this hotel as it is extremely clean and in walking distance to the town.Our second stay here and would be happy to recommend it.Only one small disappointment our daughter asked for Prosecco andchocolates for the room we had chocolate biscuits instead of chocolates which really did not go well with Prosecco.I meant to mention this at the time but forgot.

Excellent location,nice clean room and friendly staff.

Only stayed a night but the staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is a nice building next to the river and not far from the city centre. Breakfast was excellent

Just had long weekend stay at River Hotel which was excellent value for money.Staff really friendly & welcoming, breakfast outstanding & only 10 minute walk to city centre.Would highly recommend.

River Hotel is about 10 minutes from the main city centre and is a great place to stay. Great breakfast choice (including kippers!) and a very friendly breakfast service waitress. Nice clean room. All round great value, along with free parking and easy car access to the hotel. We’ll be back!

Very convenient for the city centre and public transport with the bonus of free parking! Lovely little garden overlooking the river. Surprisingly quiet given main road location. Very clean, warm and plenty of hot water. The hotel is a typical Oxford house, so has steep stairs and narrow corridors which might be challenging for those with mobility problems. The rooms are proper house rooms, not just identical boxes. It's not 'modern', but if you like a place with character, you'll enjoy staying here.

I stayed last night in room 11. Although the hotel is dated, the bed was very comfortable , everything clean and tidy and the staff couldn't do enough for me.the breakfast was delicious and plenty of coffee and juice too , cooked to perfection. Massive thank you to everyone and I will be back in 3 months when I'm next at the J.R.Hospital. many thanks.

Excellent Location with Car Park .Very friendly owners.Following Covidguidelines as advertised. Great breakfast choice. Ideal for our one night stop over. Thank you.

Another great stay at the River Hotel. The service is always excellent, nothing is too much trouble and the fresh cooked to order breakfast is delicious. Very clean, tidy,and the traditional decor lends itself to the charm of the hotel.Great location for the town centre and the train station, both only a few minutes walk away. I will continue to choose this hotel over the more modern ones as the service and location far outweigh the ultra modern and soulless.

We stayed for 2 nights and found the hotel to be well located just a short walk from the tourist attractions.The hotel itself was comfortable and warm with great service and a five star breakfast.The room was at the back of the hotel and very quiet. My only complaint would be that the liquid soap in the bathroom appeared to be watered down which meant you needed twice as much to wash with.The hotel is in need of a little bit of an update ie new carpets on the stairs etc but that didn't affect our stay in any way.Staff were incredible!

Response

Thank you for your excellent review and we are glad you enjoyed the weekend with us.The hand soap is an anti-bacterial hand wash with alcohol; it has not been watered down.You are not the first to question this and having received poor reviews about the product we shall switch brands.

Lovely place by the river, comfortable room. Lovely welcome. Excellent breakfast friendly staff

My stay at the River Hotel went smoothly, I was able to park my motorbike in the car park behind the hotel and check in very early. They also let me leave my luggage in a secure room as my room wasn't ready, and found me somewhere to get changed.A pleasant stay, no problems at all.

Comfortable room close to the city centre, excellent breakfast.

Great location and parking, friendly staff went out of their way to be helpful, best breakfast we have ever had!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River Hotel. The lady on reception/ serving breakfast the next morning was very friendly, helpful, and informative. The hotel is in the perfect position for walking into the centre of Oxford. A large free car park was a bonus also.

We stayed one night in this cozy and delightful hotel in a perfect position for anybody going to visit Oxford by train. Our double room was clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed a very satisfying full english breakfast in the morning. Friendly and welcoming staff both at the reception and for the breakfast.

Perfect position to explore Oxford. Nice and quiet at night. Lovely shower. Comfortable bed. Best of all…. Fantastic breakfast

As usual,a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Our room was rather small, but was well equipped, clean and comfortable. I’d asked for a quiet room and was not disappointed. The location of the hotel was excellent, within easy walking distance of central Oxford. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast excellent.

Had a lovely time at the River Hotel.A quaint and cosy hotel in a beautiful setting, just a five minute walk from the centre of Oxford.Wonderful breakfast and friendly staff.We would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay in the hotel!! We booked a 3pax room and the space was quite nice, even though the hotel was a little bit old.Good bathroom and good room in general.Special mention to the breakfast and the lovely attention provided by the staff!Highly recommended!Lastly, location was amazing! Walkeable distance to every tourist attraction, and so close to the train station!

Hi there - as you have asked for feedback, I will let you know a couple of things.I was surprised by the check-in: I arrived at 3pm on a Sunday and was let in via a buzzer after I had phoned the number on the back door and told where to find my room key.The double bed had 2 dips on each side; my husband had intended to join me but given this, I advised him to stay in London as I was in Oxford for work.The best thing about my stay was that the room was very clean.Also, I was not aware that the rate had included breakfast- my PA made the booking and so my fault but it would have been useful to have had a reminder once I arrived. I thought the rate was a non-breakfast rate. Again, I should have known.With a new coat of paint throughout, and new beds and pillows, this could be a top-notch hotel but the value doesnt match the price in my opinion.I wasnt going to write anything and wouldnt give a bad review on TAdvisor as this is a clean, convenient spot to stay.

Will come back again in the future

Comfortable and friendly hotel. More a guest house, informal and cosy. Great proprietors. Everything you need for a good stay. Location perfect. Beds restful and breakfast as you would expect. Thank youl

I enjoyed my stay but was a little disappointed that breakfast was not available before 8am.However, the receptionist kindly made us up a tray of cereal, fruit and juice which was perfectly adequate.The cooked breakfast on the other day was lovely.I think the price is a little expensive as the property is basic but comfortable, in particular the bathroom, and the facilities are minimal.The receptionist was very helpful and accommodating.

Yes it was very enjoyable,clean,bright.Couldn't get all the channels on the television.Good selection of books out side.Abit expensive for one person but it's handy and close to All the amenities. So I can't complain. The first room was just to stuffy for me.Thanks againAlistair

River Hotel is the right place to stay if you would like to be nicely welcomed, friendly helped & served and, at the same time,be close to both public transport and city centre. If you love water, like I do, you will also be enjoying the river Thames which is next to the hotel and the lovely walk you can start from the bridge nearby!The Hotel offers a relaxing environment and all the essentials you need to be a tourist in Oxford, plus all the information provided are very clear and the breakfast is delicious.Excellent experience at such a good price!Many Thanks to the whole River Hotel Team.God bless you all!

hotel dated but cleannice breakfast

Just spent 3 days at the River Hotel, excellent location on banks of river Thames, short walk into centre of Oxford. Room lovely, quiet area. Amazing breakfasthosts were lovely. Would definitely rebook here when visiting Oxford again.

When I arrived the reception staff went through all of the details I needed to know and were very friendly.The room was quaint and felt like I was in a country house, creaky floor and all.Everything that was needed was there.The hotel is really convenient, very close to the city centre and train station.The breakfast was lovely and I felt very well taken care of.This was my first time in Oxford but won't be my last.

Very charming and quaint. Service and breakfast was excellent. I will definitely return and recommend to my friends and family.

The hotel was fully booked and, further to our request, we received a call back at the first availability.Welcoming hosts, a traditionally served and appetizing breakfast, old fashion but comfortable rooms, probably one of the best value for money among Oxford Hotels…And a special hello to the kind squirrel coming to welcime guests in the garden close to the river…

We really enjoyed our time in Oxford and staying at River Hotel was a bonus. The decor is a tad dated but everywhere was spotlessly clean which is what you want during these trying times. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I asked if it was possible to have a room close to the ground floor as my husband has mobility problems and doesn’t do stairs and I had a phone call offering us a room on the lowest floor and offering to reserve a parking space next to the door. You can’t get better service than that. The hotel is a short walk to the bus and rail station which meant we didn’t have to use the car.

Very nice comfortable hotel, excellent personal service from the staff, very useful tips on places to visit, eat etc. Great location for walking into the city.

really clean and friendly hotel, great breakfast

Facilities were basic, but it was clean and friendly.I felt it was going to improve as we further emerge from covid restrictions.Breakfasts were great. Very well placed for walking into centre of Oxford

Nice hotel,parking tight but ok.We had a small double room but it was quiet and comfortable.The dining room was beautiful and the breakfast plentiful

Enjoyed the location, free parking, comfortable bed and breakfast

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Quick walk into Oxford, close to everything. The breakfast was tasty. Highly recommend staying there.

Perfect location, fantastic breakfast,suited us perfectly

Friendly and helpful service, excellent room and breakfast, pleasant garden by river, and handy location.Thank you, couldn't ask for better.

Another enjoyable stay at the River Hotel. We always get a warm welcome from their excellent staff, the rooms are always immaculately clean & the decor has been updated. The hotel is an ideal location for anybody visiting Oxford.

Great service

Really enjoyed my stay and will come back again.

Would love to stay there again!

A little old fashioned , but a very clean hotel . Lovely breakfast and very friendly staff . Very convenient for city centre and it has parking , which is a bonus . Would highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Oxford

Great place, nice people, wonderful location. And very good breakfast...:)Definitely will stay again while in Oxford and recommend to friends.

We stayed for two days to attend a wedding. Booking process was easy, the rooms were nice and clean. The hotel has an appealing atmosphere of a typically English place in a brick stone house that is entered through a porch, narrow stairs and rooms like your own bedroom at home. Very familiar and comfortable. Breakfast was great (the delicious full English breakfast was served in the cozy dining room), and the staff was friendly and helpful.

A very nice hotel, staff very nice and helpful, will be back next year.

Friendly and efficient staff, comfortable rooms, Superb breakfast, lovely location next to the riverWell receommended

Always a friendly reception. Pleasant room and delicious breakfast.

Breakfast is to die for and the lady that served us was lovely! Friendly and very clean. Parking is a bonus and a short walk into Oxford. Right on the river Thames with a really pleasant outlook.

A friendly hotel on the bank of the river Thames. Walking distance from all the interesting sites in Oxford city. The breakfast is freshly cooked and delicious. Excellent value for money.

Very convenient location, 3 min walk from town centre.Breakfast fantastic, and family atmosphere. Andy and team absolutely marvellous.We will repeat in our next stay in Oxford for sure.

We chose River Hotel due to it's location. It was only a short walk into the centre of Oxford and a few minutes walk from the railway/bus station. The staff were friendly and welcoming and ensured I had a space to park where I could open the car doors to get my wheelchair in and out. The décor was dated but this just added to the quirkiness of this old hotel! The bed was comfortable and we slept well. It was nice to have a bath as well as a shower with plenty of hot water. The cooked breakfast was very good and there was also a cold buffet breakfast. We had a lovely weekend and would return to the River Hotel next time we are in Oxford.

Stayed in a family room myself, husband and 17 year son enough room and very comfortable beds. The staff all friendly, breakfast service very efficient cooked what you asked you. Walked along the river as a route into town and also along the canal into Jericho also very close to train station. An enjoyable visit.

We stayed at River Hotel for 3 nights to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. It was very comfortable and we received a warm welcome from all the staff. Breakfast was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.

The Hotel is well situated being only a short walk away from the train station.It is clean and had in one way system in place as part of its Covid controls.Breakfast had a good range of choices and the food was excellent.The staff were friendly and helpful and we would happily stay there again on our next visit to Oxford.

Warm welcome on arrival. Given a map of local area and places we were interested in visiting were marked out for us which was extremely helpful. Good covid safety measures in place throughout the hotel. Comfortable, clean room and breakfast was excellent with varied choice. On site car parking was a bonus. Good location for access to city centre. A very enjoyable stay.

Excellent experience room of good size comfy beds superb breakfast host could do no more for you

River Hotel is in a great locationclose to the station. My stay was pleasant enough with helpful & friendly staff serving the breakfast. I was disappointed that I was given a single room even though I had booked a double without any explanation & charged the same amount.

Lovely small & full of characterhotel. Great breakfast & such comfy beds

The River Hotel is situated in a lovely spot very close the the city center, with ample parking which was a must for us, the room was nice and clean and the full English we had every morning was beautiful, we had booked a 48 hour tour bus pass which starts 200 yard up the road from the train station every 15 minutes and we sore most of the places of interest in two and a half days, another big bonus for us was ( The One Bar ) just across the road from the River Hotel the food and service was excellent so good that after our first night there we went back the next 2 nights, what a Lovely stay.

Lovely hotel, clean, walking distance to Oxford, free parking at hotel could not fault it.Owner very helpful, breakfast was well cooked with assortment of fruit, cereals, and full English.Rooms basic but had everything we needed.Enjoyed our g&t on the seat right by the river.We will definitely return.Lovely walks by the hotel too.

Excellent location, very clean and peaceful. Generous breakfast and very helpful and friendly staff. Definitely will stay again

Our stay at the River Hotel was excellent, All staff were very polite friendly and helpful breakfast was spot on most enjoyable stay and great location by the river.

Friendly family run hotel. Walking distance to town with large car park. Room & breakfast all good. Would definitely return.

Stayed for 3 days with wife and son. Totally family friendly atmosphere of hotel. Excellent location,neat and clean rooms, although had to wait for an hour before room was ready. Completely acceptable ????. Excellent freshly made breakfast as well. All in all, highly recommended.

Very Good location well recommended, great breakfast

The hotel was fabulous. The setting was lovely with sightings of a heron and canal boats whilst having breakfast which was cooked to order and plentiful. The room was excellent with a comfy mattress and everywhere was very clean. Nothing was too much trouble for the manager. It is an excellent hotel and we would certainly book there again in the future.

The hotel was very comfortable and clean and the service impeccable.It was good value and just what we needed for our brief stay, I would recommend it to others.

The room was a little dated but very clean and tidy. Breakfast food was excellent especially as my wife needs gluten free .Property is close enough to the city to be able to walk in, and in a nice location by the river.

We chose this hotel predominantly for its proximity to the station as we were using it as a base for a trip to Wembley and also because it offered free parking. We were so pleased to have done so. The River Hotel is a quaint, privately owned establishment, run by really lovely and helpful people. They gave us lots of useful local information and nothing was too much trouble.The room was spotlessly clean,the breakfasts were perfectly cooked with high quality ingredients and seemingly unlimited coffee and toast.All with a view of the Thames to watch the boats and the ducks! We would thoroughly recommend it and are looking for an excuse to stay there again!

Slightly dated but clean accommodation and friendly staff, ideal location for the city centre. Bathroom was a little snug

Really enjoyed the stay everyone was so friendly, Sharons work ethic and politeness were above and beyond, thanks for a lovely stay, Phíl & Julie

not luxurious but clean and friendly.great situation, good bed and a brilliant breakfast!

Friendly staff and great breakfast. Room was clean and great location.

Really nice location from 10 mins walk from city, nice places to eat nearby.Comfortable and clean , good breakfast :)

The River Hotel is a lovely, friendly 2? hotel. The room was nice and the bed was very,very comfortable. The lady who served breakfast was friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. The breakfast was cooked well and very tasty. The location was perfect for us and I would definitely stay here again. I would definitely recommend staying here

As above

Brilliant time, very friendly and helpful

This hotel is set in a beautiful central locationThe people that run and owned the hotel were very knowledgable and friendlyBreakfast had a very good selection and was very tastyCan’t recommend enough

Great location by the Thames with free parking and a short walk to the City centre.Breakfast was very good, the staff and service were excellent.A few things could do with been updated but overall a good place to stay.I would definitely stay there again.

Easy walk to center, train station across the road direct into London added benifit. Good breakfast and good service. Very clean a liitle tired in places but this adds to charm in my opinion. Car parking on site at no added cost an extra benifit. Would stay again if travelling to Oxford.

The hotel was handily placed just 10-15 minutes walking distance from the centre with easy access to places we wanted to go. Warm welcome and helpful map and guidelines on arrival. Room comfortable and a good breakfast to start the day. Hosts were pleasant and helpful making it an enjoyable short break.

Excellent location, close to town centre with good parking and overlooking River Thames.On a busy road, but secondary double glazing helped reduce noise. Well maintained gardens and window boxes and access to walks along river. Excellent, freshly cooked breakfast served with a smile.Hotel is obviously part way through a renovation, with freshly decorated rooms and public areas and some new furniture and carpets. Bathroooms and some carpets badly in need of updating, though shower worked. For this reason we thought the hotel was overpriced, though we recognisethat they may reflect high costs in Oxford. We wish the current owners well, as they are clearly working hard to upgrade the property

Comfortable accommodation with a lovely garden next to a wonderful nature walk along the tow path. Free parking and a great breakfast choice with lots of advice given about how we could spend our time. Close to railway station and the city centre. Hotel a little tired but perfect for a break away with our daughter who definitely needed it as she works for the NHS

Very good, excellent service.

Wonderful stay! Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Couldn’t have been better.

Room good size plenty of hot water very good breakfast with extremely friendly staff,ideal for walking into city

we always stay at the river hotel when in oxford.We used to live in oxford and the hotel is in the perfect position for revisiting favourite places in our old home town. Always comfortable and reliable.

very clean nice friendly staff quiet

I and my family have stayed in this hotel a number of times. The staff are always very friendly and go the extra mile to help with anything that is needed. Breakfast is good and car parking is free. Great location if coming from the M4 or by train. Prices are reasonable by the standards of Oxford.

Thanks for everything, enjoyed our stay.Sorry didn't get chance to say goodbye this morning, had to rush to pick girls up and you were very busy !Regards.

River Hotel is a comfortable, relaxed hotel. The room we had was good and the staff were friendly and very helpful, always willing to give local information. It is well situated for accessing the city centre, the best option being on foot. The hotel has its own car park, which is rare in Oxford, and rarer still, it is part if your package. Breakfast is very good with lots of options. We would stay here again.

Lovely and informative welcome, nothing too much trouble and bonus of free parking.Excellent breakfast, yum yum.

We were very impressed with the friendly service and the cleanliness and location of the River Hotel.It is very good value for money.

The hotel was in an excellent location, within walking distance of the city centre, opentop bus starting point and train station.Parking was available before check-in on arrival day and until midnight on departure day!This meant we were able to spend more time in Oxford.Hotel was very clean, staff very helpful and we enjoyed excellent breakfasts.The decor was rather dated but this didn't affect our enjoyment of our stay.All in all, excellent value for money.

The River Hotel was a delight to stay at. Not the most modern ( which did not matter at all, by the way) but very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. Breakfast was superb, good quality ingredients. Bacon, egg and sausages were delicious as well as usual cereals, fruit, toast jams etc. Chef lovely, very knowledgeable regarding Oxford. Great location, just 5-10 minute walk into the centre of town and right on the river. All in all excellent value for money, I will definitely be staying again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A beautifully located family run hotel close to the city centre. Made to feel welcome and nothing was a problem.Relaxed quality breakfast.Secure parking behind the hotel.Recommended for a short break to the ancient city of Oxford.

Perfect location, excellence service, had a really good break.

Excellent breakfasts, friendly staff, warm and comfortable room, splendid location by the river.

We stayed for 1 night while in Oxford for a house move, 27th March.Friendly and helpful welcome, room at the front was quiet despite overlooking the road (very effective secondary double glazing). Excellent cooked breakfast, with lovely river view. The hotel is independent, leased from one of the Colleges, and could do with some investment in the common area (new carpets, for example), but it is spotlessly clean throughout. Big parking area, useful when driving a large van. Lovely river walks on the doorstep and the excellent Punter vegetarian "gastro pub" nearby. So location, parking, reasonable price (for Oxford)and excellent customer service more than make up for the slight shabbiness.

15 minutes flat walk into city centre which was ideal, as was the free parking. Room was warm, comfortable and on the ground floor. Great breakfast and Andy was really nice and helpful.

Just back from a long weekend at the River Hotel. Perfect base to explore from near to station (5 mins) next to river for lovely walks 10 mins from city centre.Lovely warm welcome, friendly staff giving great tips on where to eat and what to do.Spotlessly clean, cosy room daily maid service... hospitality tray topped up every day. Great freshly cooked to order breakfast served with a smile and a chat.Would 100% recommend

Room was cosy, worm and clean. Receptionist very nice and helpful, breakfast fresh and delicious. Great location! Absolutely no complaints, would recommend anyone who’s visiting Oxford.

The hotel is lovely. Close to town but quiet and with a view of the river. It's done in the classic B&B style so no fancy spotlights in the bathroom, but clean, cozy and incredibly friendly and helpful staff.The breakfast is excellent and was exactly what we were after.

Host and staff very helpful and friendly. Great location for the city centre and lovely views of the river. Breakfast was excellent. Thank you River Hotel. Would definitely recommend!

Our room was clean and tidy on arrival. The one way system was clearly explained as was all other items we needed to know. Our host was happy to point out the location of some places we asked about and pointed out some river walks for us. The service during our short stay was very good and the location was ideal for the railway station and just a short walk to the city centre and points of interest.

Convenient location for access to town-- all we required for our stay including a lovely cooked breakfast to set us up for our day touring centre of Oxford

The staff were really friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.The food was delicious! All in all a very pleasant stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel despite the rain and Covid19 restrictions.

Upon early arrival we were allowed to book in and our room was ready.Hotel clean and staff very welcomingBreakfast was wonderful all you could ask for staff very attentive.Hotel could do with updating room was on the small side and tv didn’t work was adequate for our 1night stay

Response

Thank you for your kind review and we hope you have fond memories of your recent trip to Oxford. Thank you for bringing to our attention the fault with your TV signal. The aerial booster amp had failed which has now been renewed. Assuring you of our every attention.

Just had a lovely 3 night stay at the River Hotel. We were a little anxious being away from home during the covid virus but as soon as we arrived we realised that the hotel was very covid aware. Our room was extremely clean, a nice mood lamp was a lovely welcome. Our bed was comfortable and we slept well with no noise from anywhere. The English breakfast was excellent, we sat at a table overlooking the river Thames. The waitress (forgot to ask her name) was really lovely, she made us feel welcome, keeping her distance at all times, she told us about a walk into the city of Oxford following the Thames path. There is a good sized carpark at the rear of the property which was an added bonus, you can even leave your car on the last day there after check out. We recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again if we go to Oxford. Thank you to all staff.

Great location for a visit to Oxford City Centre.Good breakfast to get you ready to explore the area.Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance for an evening meal.

Worked well as vase for the group

Another excellent stay at this lovely hotel! We have been coming here for at least 10 years & it never fails to deliver a quality, friendly service. I have already booked for next year!

River Hotel is in a perfect location, by the river and 10mins walk to city centre.Very friendly welcome, and relaxed friendly staff and service at breakfast.

The hotel is pleasantly situated near the River Thames at Osney, by the bridge which carries the Botley Road on it's way into Oxford.The Hotel is very clean and well organised in it's efforts to keep everyone safe from the recent pandemic. The breakfast is excellent with many choices.The staff are polite, courteous, pleasant, and very helpful with their advice and local knowledge.The room we had was clean and with all the facilities you would expect.We would certainly stay again and hope to in the near future.

The River Hotel is easy to find in an ideal location with ample parking. It is easy to walk from the hotel into town or stroll along the Thames which is on the doorstep. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was freshly cooked with a good choice and the staff were friendly. We would be quite happy to book again if staying in Oxford.

Superb locationClean tidy excellent staff.10/10 for the breakfastWill definately stay there again.

Free parking on site. Great location. Great breakfast. Room comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Had all the things we needed to make it a lovely stay in Oxford. Perfectly placed for city centre and Port Meadow. Great parking available and really helpful staff. The hotel is set up to work effectively under covid conditions. We were happy with our booking.

First time to Oxford, looked for ages to find a hotel in good location with parking. I must say we found it ! On top of the location and parking we received great hospitality in very clean and safe (Covid precautions )hotel.

Lovely hotel by the river, walking distance to the shops and attractions.Fantastic Breakfast, Staff very friendly and welcoming.We would definitely stay again.

Lovely small hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Very clean rooms and comfortable beds. We'll definitely be back, thank you!

Had a great stay ,Andrew very knowledgeable of the area ,room number 7 was a big room and bathroom all very clean.Breakfast cooked by Andrew very nice ,cereals and a selection of hot choices . Lovely walk along the tow path to Oxford stop at the folly or the head of the river pub for a drink and food both very nice .The hotel has its own car park which is a godsend because parking is non existent in centre of Oxford..Also when you return to the hotel in the evening there is a key code to get in.Thank you Andrew for a lovely stay.

Great place to stay right by the river so close to center of oxford the staff top class

Good stay room a bit small and tv reception poor but garden lovely

River Hotel is a very good place to stay if you want a comfortable, homely atmosphere. Our ensuite room was nicely decorated, spotlessly and spotlessly clean. As 2 old school friends, we appreciated the option of non-adjacent single beds, which had high-quality bed linen and were extremely comfortable. We were well looked after from my first phone call about availability and email follow-up, to the provision of fresh milk for tea in our room, and breakfast cooked to order, nothing seemed too much trouble. It was clear that all of the Covid-prevention measures were in place but not in an obtrusive way. Ideally located near to the station, with a lovely quiet garden overlooking the river and free parking, this hotel has a great personality and was excellent value for money. Thank you Ian & colleagues.

All the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back when this blooming virus gives us the chance. Lovely hotel.

Room 3 starBreakfast 5 starStaff 5 starLocation 4 star

Great location near to the station, river and town centre. Very friendly staff and nice comfy room that looked recently decorated.

A lovely stay near the river. The rooms are lovely and clean but my only criticism would be that they are a bit dated but didn't put us off our stay. The staff there are very friendly and helpful.The cook breakfast was great.Plenty to have and chose from. We would definitely stay again.

Comfortable, clean, friendly and pleasant staff.Good breakfast with lovely view of the river across the garden.

The staff were very attentive towards us and made us feel welcomed throughout,The room was lovely and light and with it being a short walk to the centre I would not hesitate in booking again with River Hotel.

A comfortable room, very friendly staff, great breakfast.

The Hotel is the perfect place for a quiet getaway or to base yourself for a visit to Oxford, convenient for both road and rail links the hotel is well placed for the city centre.Staff are conscientious but not always in your face, and the cooked as you wait breakfast is such a change from the mass produced dried up breakfasts you get in larger hotelsFor me it’s 10/10.

The hotel was in a good location to Oxford, great breakfast and lovely staff!Rooms were clean with a nice bath!

We chose the River Hotel as it was in a good location within easy walking distance of the city and with parking. It was reasonably priced with no hidden costs. We stayed in a family room in the annexe, which is across the road from the main hotel. This was fine for us, as we were only staying one night, but might have been slightly inconvenient if we were staying longer.The room was clean, warm and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The décor is a little old fashioned, but this didn't bother us. The breakfast was good and the dining room was pleasant.

All the staff were attentive and efficient,looked after very well.

What a lovely friendly hotel. We were greeted with a smile and a pot of tea and biscuits while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good with lots of tea and toast.

We received a lovely welcome at the River Hotel. Room was comfortable and clean. Good location easy reach of train station and city centre within a few minutes walk. A self service breakfast with cooked breakfast on request. Cooked breakfast made to a good standard. Staff very willing to offer advise for eateries and places to visit.Felt very well looked after. Thank you.

Great location. Clean and tidy. Everything worked. Good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful.Tasty breakfast with endless coffee and toast. I would certainly book to stay again.Ian ????????

The hotel is located on the side of the river near the train station. It also has free parking to the rear of the property. I went as part of a family group. We arrived, parked up and then easily walked to all the places we wanted to see in Oxford over the course of our weekend there.The building and rooms are a bit tired looking but accommodation is comfortable. Tea/ coffee facilities in the room. Plenty of towels.The breasfast was excellent with plenty of choice and plenty enough to eat.The staff were very friendly and helpful.Good value for money.

It is a very nice hotel. The staff was very kind before, during and after our time at the accommodation. Very good breakfast in a restaurant with lovely views to the river.

A basic but good hotel. Rooms are clean and staff very friendly. Hotel is within walking distance of city centre and has parking. Perfect for our stay. Good breakfast included. Will stay again. Thank you to the staff.

Reasonable priced hotel by oxford standards . Traditional British hotel closely located to train station. Warm and cosy with friendly and accommodating staff.Good cooked breakfast cooked to order.

Needs refurbishment. Floors are creaky and carpets and furniture is outdated. Enjoyed breakfast, location is a plus point

A long established, traditional Metro Hotel very close to Oxford city centre, with a garden leading down to the banks of the River Thames. Staff take pride in personal and friendly service. Located an easy walk to the centre of Oxford, ideal for tourist, business and travel needs. Less than two minutes from Oxford main station...your description is spot on. plus the breakfast is fantastic.thank you for a great stay

Friendly staff and good breakfast.Nothing was too much trouble and speciality tea was available.Excellent location.Blankets on bEd we’re not quite warm enough when heating went off and room decoration was a little ‘tired’.

I have been in this hotel plenty times. The place is very beautiful and romantic however rather oldfshionable. But it is what I prefer. Hotel is very close to the rail way station (2 min walk) and bus station (7 min walk). Staff are profesional. Breakfastes are very testes. River Hotel is the right place for people who akcept the spirit of regency not for those one who is looking for modern building and very fresh furnitures. I wish the owners of the Hotel long prosperity.

This is our fourth stay at the River hotel.It is a wonderful base in Oxford what ever your reason for visiting.Close to the station or bus routes. The hotel is so friendly and obliging.

Very conveniently situated to centre of Oxford. All staff very friendly & very helpful - full of suggestions of things to do on a rainy November day!Breakfasts good & rooms comfy.All good

We love it here. Everything you need. I love my baths when I visit. It is our 8-10th visit and we'll be coming back. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Always superb breakfasts! Allergy (gf) catered for. Never any problems. Very handy for a short walk into the centre of Oxford (5-10 mins). Warm rooms

A very good place to stay in central Oxford near the station. We did a nice walk along the river and the canal.

Friendly staff and excellent service.The hotel is literally 3 mins walk from train station and 10 mins from the main shopping area.Staff very attentive at breakfast time nothing was too much trouble.Room very clean and the bed so comfy.Will definitely stay here again in the near future.

The purpose of my visit was somewhere to stay during a conference at Oxford Brookes Harcourt Hill Campus. This hotel was conveniently situated near the railway station and on the bus route for the campus.The room I had was warm, cozy and just what was needed to relax after a long day of papers.The bath had good quality bubble bath and the place had a real feel of home about it.The breakfast had a good selection and staff were friendly.I can highly recommend this as a comfy hotel for this sort of visit.

The River Hotel is excellent for an enjoyable stay in Oxford. It is convenient for the railway station, has ample safe car parking, and is only a few minutes walk into the town centre. The staff are all welcoming, helpful and attentive. The rooms are slightly dated but absolutely spotless, and made up beautifully each day. The beds have traditional bedding. Personally I would prefer a duvet and suggest this as an upgrade. Breakfast is wonderful and they coped admirably with my need for gluten and dairy free. I will be returning next time I visit Oxford.

A cozy room in a cozy hotel. The location was nice and central. The breakfast was a typical and good English breakfast.Service was good.

The location is perfect as it is near Oxford train station and easy to visit city centre by buses or walk. Breakfast is lovely and friendly staff make the day a good start. Thank you.

Reasonable price for the location, friendly staff and on-site parking.10-15 mins walk to the centre of town.

Great stay and very kind hospitality. Thank you.Shaneagh and Geraldine

This is an old hotel but it is comfortable, clean and very convenient to Oxford city centre and the train station.The lovely ladies working on the front desk and serving us breakfast were extremely friendly and were very helpful with directions. Breakfast was very good and was served efficiently. We would definitely stay here again.

We have just spent two nights at the hotel.It is old and in need of a little tender loving care - the floorboards are very noisy...however, don't let this put you off.The staff are very friendly and helpful - especially Sharon and Irena,and made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.Breakfast was very good and the little bar was perfect for a little pre-night out drink or a late nightcap.The location of the hotel to the city centre is perfect.Being on the river I would imagine in the summer it is lovely.Thanks for having us and if we are in the area we would stay again.

V warm, friendly, helpful.rather dear but I suppose that's oxford!

The location is ideal for getting round Oxford on foot and very close to the station. Breakfast is wonderful and keeps you going all day.Loved exploring Oxford, so many things to do and amazing restaurants.Hosts were lovely and very helpful re local pubs etc.Would stay there again.

I am a returning guest. I stayed in River Hotel again as the staff thete are freiendly and helpful. The facilities in the room are basic but enough for short stay.The breakfast is too carefully prepared to be missed. The ducks and geese next to the River Thames are definitely a bonus to the stay.

We appreciated the friendly, helpful staff, and the wonderful hot breakfast.We were grateful that the staff was able to accomodate our request for an early check-in.The location is close to both the rail and bus stations so no need for taxis to the hotel.After sight-seeing all day, we enjoyed sitting in the hotel's small garden overlooking the Thames River.This is a older hotel that shows some wear and has no lift.It worked well for us.

We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it.The staff was friendly and helpful.The breakfasts were superb.well prepared and presented.We stayed in the Annex across the street from the main building, but wouldn't have know the difference.The river location was a plus too.

Found everything was all round excellent,Great location, friendly helpful Staff, clean and compact room. Not a 5 star national chain hotel but lacked nothing in respect of service and Friendliness and cleanliness. Breakfast was excellent and more than adequate.

We stayed in the Annex which is in need of updating but was otherwise clean and comfortable.Staff were very friendly and breakfast excellent.we will stay here again.

Excellent location, especially with regards to where we were needed, but also a pleasant walk into town; and if a car user, perfect for a quick arrival and getaway (usually! - the Botley Road is a complete nightmare at the moment due to new gas pipe installation!).And ample parking included in the price! And couldn't be much more convenient if arriving by train!Perfectly adequate room - bathroom a bit 'cosy' perhaps.Excellent breakfast.And most notably and importantly - such friendly and helpful staff throughout!We have already booked to stay again for our next visit to Oxford.

The venue was perfect for our requirements. My friend and I wanted somewhere that was pleasant of course, but above all functional for our needs. The staff were efficient, knowledgable and polite without any of the usual 'over the top' synthetic mannerisms often associated with customer services these days. The location was perfectly placed by the river with boating activies viewed from the restaurant and easy access to the railway station to meet our other friends. We both had the full English breakfast the following morning and it was served quickly, piping hot and not a spot of grease, lovely. So nice that a common sense approach was taken to serving food hot. Many a high level restaurant could do to remembering those basics as I've had the misfortune to experience and have had to send it back. The accommodation is no frills. You won't find the latest style in room/bathroom fittings but we were not looking for that. We got what we wanted, an ensuite twin fit for purpose, clean and tidy with some complimentary effects. We had a comfortable undisturbed stay, lovely and peacefiul, yet a 'stone's throw' from the city centre. You will have a pleasant stay here if you are booking with the right expectations. If you want glamourous interior design, and haute cuisine then book somewhere that fits the bill and the expense. This time we were looking for a thrifty one night stay and the venue more than met our expectations. We are glad that a more traditional characterful venue still exists and that not everywhere has been taken over by modern austere minimalism of other travel hotels. We both agreed we would stay again and recommend to others. Well done and thank you.

Very close to Train & Bus stations. Pretty garden,free large parking area.Small but very comfortable amenities. Helpful & friendly staff. Excellent cooked to order Breakfast.Highly recommened as a small well located Hotel

We have just returned from two nights at the hotel and don't normally review hotels but on this occasion I think it's warranted.If you're looking for something clean and comfortable with character then this is for you. Staff were welcoming and friendly, therewas good choice at breakfast and The food was of good quality. If you want something modern like Premier Inn then this isn't for you.The decor is a bit older than most places and the bedroom did have a lot of furniture so wasnt the easiest of places to move around but the hotel is VERY clean. Sheets and bathroom in particular were spotless, I found. The sheets felt and smelled lovely and fresh! Generous with toiletries and everything you need is there. Car park at the back, less than 15 mins to the centre, rail or bus station. Would stay again.

Absolutely loved my week long stay here. Would certainly return next year. Perfect for getting into Oxford and walking the Thames Path. Near enough to drive or get a bus to the Cotswold villages and Blenheim Palace. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with more than I could eat. Room was clean and comfortable although Alex Polizzi would have a field day with the whole hotel decoration but I guess that is what adds to the charm

Was happy with my stay.
