Love this place!!

Front desk was amazing and friendly. The room is very nice and super comfortable and the food at the restaurant was A M A Z I N G!!! We actually decided to extend our stay and stay here for a second night before going back to Heathrow instead going back to London for our last night. It’s just beautiful here.

Fantastic mini break.

Fantastic location in an amazing suite of buildings. Friendly and helpful staff, spacious comfortable and warm rooms. Lovely breakfast and bar. The whole ambience was just relaxing. Bus stop right outside hotel for a cheap 25 min journey to Oxford centre.

Voco Oxford Thames, First Class

We stayed for a mini break, just two nights. Really fortunate to have a ground floor room. The room was great, really spacious, kingsize bed and really well furnished and decorated. The bathroom was excellent with a great shower. We had dinner the first night, very enjoyable and reasonably priced. Breakfast was outstanding, lots of choice and excellant produce. The setting by the side of the Thames was good, we enjoyed walking along the towpath. All in all a great stay and highly recommended.

Wonderful stay

Friendly reception staff, beautiful beamed room (king premium) in the old part of the hotel. The staff in the restaurant, both for breakfast and especially evening dinner were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. The pool, sauna and steam room were great

Most comfortable hotel bed ever

The hotel was so clean and comfortable. We had everything that we needed and more. Every member of staff that we came across was really friendly and helpful. Our room was very large and we had a beautiful, huge, cloud-like bed. The pool was lovely and clean. The filtered bottles of water are a really lovely touch, along with the honeycombe on arrival. I have dietry requirements, which were catered to wonderfully for breakfast and when we ordered room service (which was yum!)

2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Think it is a bit rich to charge hotel guests for parking, it should be part of the fee. Also, the room was advertised as providing breakfast for two, but it was in fact only for one
Paul, 3-night trip

Decent

Quick stay - reasonably good accomodation.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We just stayed for just the one night, but that was enough to make a great impression. The lovely welcome by your very bubbly receptionist, the comfort of the bedroom and the super breakfast all contributed to a memorable stopover. We hope to visit again in the future.
