United KingdomThe location is very good - just a short walk to the train station and into Oxford. Breakfast was very good. Room was clean and shower fittings more modern than most.
United StatesHighly recommend. Great privacy and cosy rooms, and in a lovely area of Oxford. I stayed on a very cold night, and my room was lovely and warm. Room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, a pleasure to interact with. I left in the morning in a bit of a rush and forgot my blazer - they held onto it and emailed me straight away to let me know! I returned later in the day to pick it up and they were lovely about it. (Thanks again, River Hotel team!!)
United KingdomBreakfast was great, plenty of choice. Parking was a big bonus given the location and cost of parking elsewhere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room very clean and warm, given that it was freezing outside.
