The Tree Hotel at Iffley

Very average this was obviously a very nice building at one stage but has been clearly neglected for many years. Up the rickety stairs the We were quite shocked on entering the room the bed was a small double, There was a kettle, tea coffee etc provided in the room there's also a hair dryer. I think they do attempt to clean the place but only where you can see so for example open the bathroom cabinet certainly in room 3 you will now find a finger mark where I indented the dust. Not a very good night sleep on very lumpy tiny little bed, the one plus point very quiet. Breakfast the next morning. There was some bowls on one table with small packets of cereal for me to choose from the gentleman at the bar asked me if I want to tea / coffee and produced a cup of coffee that had come from a machine the beans I think were old the coffee at a very dirty taste. Breakfast you can have a fry up however it was Turkey rashes instead of bacon and Turkey sausages instead of pork or beef, it is very difficult not to be judgmental, but I would guess that the menu is Halal. I settled for avocado and poached egg on toast which in fairness was very nice and very well presented. Checkout was easy you simply place your key in a box by the front door., the hotel is only about 10 minute drive from the centre of Oxford so it's ideally located if you're attending an event in Oxford and it is quite quiet however I think this hotel needs significant money spent on it if it is to survive not recommended

Property was well based for exploring Oxford - I recommened walking up the Thames from Iffley Lock, it was a lovely experience. Easy to get to/from by bus as well (5/10 min walk to the bus stop). Hotel itself could do with a bit of TLC -the decor in our room was quite dated with some tears in the curtain. I was frightened to touch the wardrobe as it was leaning so much! Bathroom was nice and modern and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was basic - an odd choice of chicken sausage and turkey rasher on the full English!

On the internet it looks good when you see it it’s run down dirty disgusting soiled ripped curtains stained bedroom wall. Bathroom has no airflow and mould on the ceiling. The basin in the bathroom the water doesn’t drain. The sockets need to be safety checked they make the plugs heat up. The kettle lid was not sitting properly when it’s closed that’s dangerous.

Went for a 1 night stay for a gig at the O2 Academy, so just needed somewhere to sleep the night. Parking was easy and spacious, lower level was the pub and reateraunt and the staff also handle the hotel. Had to go to the bar to check in but I got my keys easily enough. Room itself was a little rough around the edges but ultimately it was just cosmetic stuff like some marks in the wall from furniture scrapes it looked like. The actual room itself was nice enough, bed was well made, comfy and above all, clean. Saw some complains about cleanliness on here however for my stay it wasn't bad at all - sure the paint on the windows was a bit worn, there was a bit of peeling on the ceiling paint in the bathroom and otherwise just a bit in need of TLC but otherwise it wasn't nearly as bad as some make it out. Plenty of tea and coffee supplied as well as water bottles, bed was clean and the bathroom was clean as well. Some say shower pressure is bad but in my experience also, it was more than sufficient - its no power shower but it's plenty for a wash. Breakfast was included too and while the portion was a little small, it was well cooked and very tasty - and free! All in all, for a one night gig stay this was a perfect cosy little room and I have no real complaints at all. Rough around the edges in appearance maybe, but functionally a very clean, comfy room.

Quaint little hotel with very kind and helpful staff.

Changed owners so now good Indian restaurant with bar meals, very noisy bar, room clean but basic. Good location with riverside walk to central Oxford.

We booked/paid for a double room. Unfortunately, we were given a very small, run down, moldy room (room #3) which, according to the website photos was a single room. The mattress was so beat up, you could slip off the edge. The bed was cramped into one corner, access from one side only. Very uncomfortable. I brought it to the attention of the owner the next day and under duress and strong suggestion from me, he gave me a discount on the room. He tried to convince me it was a “small” double, no way, but the condition alone was deplorable. Speaking to another couple, they had a beautiful room with what they said was a recently renovated bathroom. Thankfully, we were only there for one night.

Property was clean but in need of updating. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very basic. Lovely walk along the river into Oxford town centre.

Quiet liocation with parking, near to river paths. Very tired decor ( like stepping back in time to old fashioned house hotel) but our room was clean & comfortable with a settee in the bay window. Modern shower room with toilet / washbasin off to the side. Indian restaurant food & service very good. Breakfast included, good value break. 1/2hr walk to Oxford centre along lovely river paths.

Good quality for price

Lovely stay! Friendly staff and really nice room. It felt so cosy and warm :) I will definitely be staying here again.

Where to start. The hotel is is serious need of updating. There were serious peeling points in the room and bathroom - it actually looked as if the bathroom ceiling might fall down. The decor and fittings in the room were broken or damaged. The beds mattress was really thin and could feel the springs through it. In terms of noise, it was very loud. From the moment I arrived there was music playing loudly in the bar (yep fair enough, no problem) but it reverberated in the room so loudly. Eventually went off but the sound proofing is so poor, I had to sleep with ear plugs, and headphones over the top. Don’t stay for breakfast as it doesn’t start til 08:30 and most people need to be at work before then! It’s such a shame as it could be a great, and it’s in a lovely area.

Great hotel about ten minutes drive from Oxford city centre. Parking is free and breakfast is included too. Nice spacious, clean room and very helpful staff- would definitely stay here again!

Pleasant welcome on arrival with offer of complimentary breakfast but was between 0830 and 0930 only and so no use as has to be at a conference. Single room (not sure what other rooms are like) was cold with a small oil heater. Room was cold in the morning with no central heating at 0700 and water was too cold to shower at that time (now have a sore throat). Mould on all the windows and damp (this is an old building but could clean this up). Not healthy to stay in for longer periods and asthmatics will be troubled. The pic of the walk in cupboard smelt so damp that best kept the door closed. There was a dead wasp on my pillow, brushed onto the floor (prob still there in front of window. Sheets seemed clean. Otherwise location to get into Oxford was good, a 6 minute walk then 15 minute bus journey. I would not stay again and would have asked for a refund as now unwell with a cold and sore throat from the room and mould.

It could do with some money spent on decor,, but comfortable.

Our welcome was lovely, friendly owner. Beautiful room,very clean and comfortable. Big clean bathroom, very comfortable beds and lovely breakfast the next morning. Will definitely be coming again

This hotel is not as bad as many reviews make it out to be. Interior is shabby and in need of a refit, there are stains on the walls and ceilings and the heating is useless. However, the staff are friendly, the bed was warm and comfy (and the bedding was spotless), the room was clean and there was plenty of hot water and car parking. The breakfast was limited (cereal and various things on toast) but the food was served hot and the coffee is decent. Whilst i would hesitate to describe this hotel as good value, it is one of the cheapest options in oxford and is perfectly adequate as an overnight crash pad, at least provided the weather is warm.

The hotel is incredibly dated and needs some decent maintenance. The furniture and fittings are all very old and tired. The room was incredibly cold - we had a triple room and needed to sleep under both duvets and wear our jumpers in bed to keep warm. The walk in shower was lovely, good water pressure and a great size, but could have done with a soap dish and somewhere to hang our towels. There was no toilet roll holder and the toilet seat was broken. There was a kettle and free drinks, milk and biscuits in the room but the kettle leaked. Breakfast wasn’t bad; we chose beans on toast but the beans didn’t even cover one slice of toast which was disappointing. The staff were all very sweet. We also appreciated the very large car park, which was free, so there was no problem parking.

We paid over £100 I expected a bed not to feel the springs coming through. The staff were friendly, but it was like walking into faulty towers in the 1970’s There was holes in the net curtains, the ceiling wallpaper was taped up , the moved as you twisted it. The only thing that was good was the breakfast. The turkey rashers and chicken sausages were nice! And it was free parking.

Great hotel with nice bar serving Butcombe beer and an Indian restuarant delicious food , great wine £20. Very handy for proximity to Thames path. Even breakfast quite ok. Nice big bedrooms.
