For the circa £48 I paid the hotel was more than a good enough place for me to get my head down brilliant location straight off the motorway, staff were very friendly and probably the easiest and fastest check in I have done. The room I stayed in I would assume is due a refresh as it was all slightly dated or very similar to a dated travel lodge. Everything was there that I needed. I would happily stay there again as the location was perfect for me

Perfect location for visiting Oxford. Staff on Reception were fabulous and the room was clean and comfy. Harvester Restaurant was not open for breakfast on the Saturday but staff recommended a brilliant pub that served breakfast nearby. Perfect location to use Park and Ride - we will be back soon.

The hotel is very good, very comfortable, no problem. But the hotel is located in the suburbs of Oxford and is not suitable for tourists without cars, because of the inconvenience of public transportation, it is suitable for friends who travel themselves. Trip.com introduced that there is an airport shuttle is an error message. The hotel takes a taxi to Oxford Airport for about £80 and to Oxford City for £40.

Good location but accommodation very disappointing, the so called ”delux double” was tiny with not even enough space to get past the end and side of the bed. Bathroom also tiny! A real shame, pics are very misleading.

UK team meeting hosted at the hotel for 3 days. Excellent service, and a terrific location. Our visitors from abroad loved the views of the river. Facilities were top notch, and particularly noted that we had none of the usual connectivity issues when speaking to team members worldwide. A number of the team stayed at the hotel and I’ve had very favour feedback.Special thanks to Isabel, Federica and general manager Anne for looking after us for the week.

Tiny room with no opening window. Lack of fire signs in corridor, so it would be very risky if there was smoke. I don't like the bathroom arrangements as no privacy and just a screen. It is really poor design. The room was very hot in the night. It was ok for one night but I would not repeat my visit. Staff are nice and the vending machine is handy.

We stayed for one night, our had twin beds which we’re comfortable. The room also had quite a large en-suite with shower no bath. We were on the third floor in the converted roof so had a low roof in places not ideal if you were tall. There was a good choice of items for Breakfast and the full English was cooked fresh. Will be staying again as it’s right next to Culham mx track entrance So very convenient if competing there.

After visiting quite a few spa hotels for one night spa breaks I can honestly say this way by far the worst. To start- the 'spa'- the pool was freezing, as were the showers. The hot tub was out of order (and seems to be a common thing here looking at past reviews). Everybody we spoke to in the pool was shocked at the water temperature and lack of facilities, a spa should be relaxing not make you feel as though you need to do laps just to stay warm. As a result everyone was trying to use the sauna at once and so it was overcrowded in there. The restaurant- It's more like a conference room that the staff have carried some tables into for the evening, nothing about the room we sat in said restaurant. During our evening meal they brought out bread to the table and upon asking whether I could eat it if I can't have milk they said no and offered me a piece of dry toast instead. Breakfast was also poor. 'Bar/Lounge'- There is no bar here, unless you class the room full of men jumping up and down shouting at football on the tv, and glasses piled high on tables whilst staff stood around. Not exactly the 'spa' feel we expected. It was loud, dirty and overcrowded. Room- The room was clean and basic. All seemed fine until we went to bed, at around 1am the TV switched itself on, very loud and we had to search for the remote. This happened multiple times throughout the night and so by the morning we were absolutely exhausted. I mentioned this to reception and was told there is no fault with the TV. (They weren't the ones dealing with it in the middle of the night!) I raised my complaint to reception, I asked for a manager and was given a head cleaner instead. There was very little acknowledgement of any of my points, the emails following my departure were very defensive rather than just accepting that this is not at all what you expect from a spa. I do not therefore believe it should be advertised as such. I was eventually given a £17 refund along with another email disputing my claims. Terrible place, I will steer clear and advise others to do the same.
