Never disappoint, always delivers

As always this hotel and its staff did not disappoint. A friendly and personal welcome on the way in, a super comfortable and well laid out room with gorgeous bed, large bath and plenty of space. I use this hotel a lot for business and I would happily use it for personal travel too.

The hotel is lovely and was decorated stunningly for christmas. It was also nice to walk into town via the canal from the hotel too. We had an issue with the electric in our room on our second night and it took 3 calls to reception and 40 minutes before someone came up to the room. We felt that the customer service on the whole could have been quicker.

Perfect weekend hotel stay, scenic well maintained grounds and buildings, fast efficient check in and clean modern decor and furnishings within. Large room with super king bed clean and modern furnishings and on suite, fridge and large flat screen TV, ironing and hairdryer equipment, extremely comfortable bed and ample pillows with continental quilt. The quietest hotel room I have ever slept in and my stay was on a Saturday night. As much as you could eat self service breakfast with English and Continental options available. With a midday check out time and breakfast available until 11am ideal for a relaxing weekend break. Fantastic quality evening dinner in the restaurant, compliments to the chef and restaurant staff. All hotel staff were friendly and attentive to guests needs, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a quality no nonsense hotel.

More training needed

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

Great place. Looking forward to returning.

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