We had a comfortable stay. The staff were nice and friendly. The location was good, right next to the Oxford Station. The breakfast was lovely.

Clean, comfortable and friendly! Close to transportation and a 10min walk to the city center. Breakfast was wonderful! Lovely little sitting room stocked with drinks and snacks was an added bonus. Would definitely stay there again.

My card was charged twice by the hotel for my stay. And when I contacted the hotel via phone to resolve the matter I was met with an unnecessary rudeness and aggression from a staff member named Julian. I was merely attempting to resolve the issue at hand when he appeared to mistake me for someone else and totally dismissed what I had to say. As a result of this poor service, I strongly recommend not staying at this hotel. To dismiss a serious enquiry with such hostility paints the establishment extremely poorly.

Great river location with easy access to city
Great location by the river, easy access to the city and lovely river walks. Breakfast good quality well cooked. 27/7 access to the honesty bar. Great welcoming staff.

Very Pleasant Stay...
Choose this hotel due to it's close location to the city center but without the noise of more centrally located hotels.
It was very quiet. The bed was very comfortable. They served a nice full English breakfast and everyone on staff were very helpful and personal. Overall just what we were looking for. (Yes the room and TV were small but who goes to Oxford to hang out in a room watching TV? Plus they have a very nice lounge as well.

Just what we needed in Oxford
The River turned out to be just what we needed when visiting the city to see a concert. The location was great as you don’t need a car to get around Oxford, so you can use their free car park and walk ten minutes to the actual city centre. The large building has a lot of character and the breakfast room was delightful, with windows looking out towards the river. There was a good cooked breakfast plus we could have chosen cold items, cereals etc. The bedroom was older style yet was very comfortable with modern conveniences. The staff were pleasant and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to book the River Hotel again if I return to Oxford. Because of the lack of a lift and the steps to the front and rear of the hotel, it wouldn’t be suitable for people with serious mobility issues, but for others I would highly recommend staying there.

I would recommend.
This stay was for the Saïd Business School’s Reunion Weekend.
I am glad that I had an opportunity to experience this hotel. Consider the vintage of the building (1800s), it has been exceptionally well maintained and guests can feel that when they are in the building. Some minor details, such as the crack on the ceiling where the light switch in bathroom attached to my room (Room 4), could have been attended, overall everything was tightly organized.
The hotel had a warm and lovely feel and the included breakfast offered healthy choices.

Ferie
Meget hyggelig pension i fantastisk dejlig, idyllisk landsby. Lille, men fint værelse, med fint bad. MEGET blød madras!
Hyggelig lille restaurant i overfor-liggende hus med morgenmad og meget sødt personale.

Cosy hotel, centrally located with free parking
Excellent service and friendly helpful staff. Excellent location, right next to the train station, plenty of free parking. Hotel was clean and warm despite it being freezing.
Our room didn’t have an en suite and had to access our private bathroom across the corridor. Room was cosy, a little old fashion in decor but added to the charm. I would definitely return and recommend.
