Review by hotel critic
The location was superb, allowing us to easily stroll into the heart of the city, which made exploring a breeze. One highlight was the proximity to Salter's Steamers boat hire. We took a scenic punt along the river, which my son absolutely loved. It was an exciting way to see the town from a different angle. Our room was perfect for our family, with ample space and cozy features. The bunk beds were a hit! We also appreciated the friendly welcome at the front desk - it set a nice tone for our stay. As for meals, we enjoyed a lovely dinner at the onsite pub after a day of exploring, and the breakfast options were hearty and delicious, fueling us for more adventures. This hotel provided a great foundation for our Oxford trip, with enough family-friendly amenities and a warm atmosphere that made our stay memorable. We'll definitely consider returning!
