This is a traditional English hotel, a bit fusty but we had a good experience. Check-in was a bit challenging as the hotel reception had left before we arrived in the evening and I was not able to access my email message with check-in instructions. However, we were able to work that out with a minimum of inconvenience. The breakfast was very good and the breakfast rook overlooked the Thames (basically a stream in Oxford). The bedroom was basic, but the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for the shower. The location by the train station was important for us and it was not a long walk into the centre of town.

Amazing location near Said Business School and ten minutes to downtown. My view of the river was priceless. The rooms are comfortable and quaint and breakfast was generous. Overall... Adorable. Staff were kind and helpful.

room was ok

Had a great stay in Oxford. Location was very convenient for both station and town. Staff were very friendly.

Very clean and pleasant hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. I have stayed a number of times now and would gladly book another stay.

Bathroom very old and small

Room was clean, no issues. Staff were very friendly. Would stay there again.

Had a wonderful nights stay at the River Hotel on a girls trip with a friend. Our twin room was clean, well kept and a great size with nice decor. We had a great little TV, ample power sockets, tea and coffee facilities and everything else we could possibly need. Nice spacious bathroom with shower gel, shampoo etc already supplied. Parking on site was great considering how difficult it is to find in central Oxford. The hotel was happy for us to keep our car parked there for the day after we checked out so could we could explore the city. Not something they had to do was greatly appreciated. Free breakfast was wonderful with a wide array of choices. The breakfast room is lovely with views looking over the Thames. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m visiting Oxford. The hotel was great, but the staff are what really make it. Thank you for treating us so wonderfully.

Size fine for single room, lovely choice of breakfast, comforting welcome hotel, would definitely stay again if I return to Oxford

Breakfast was excellent.

A small old property with an excellent staff, a great breakfast area, clean rooms and very well located. Definitely, I will choose this properly next time.

It’s definitely worth it to stay!

Had an unexpected stay in Oxford.for a night and was able to book the River Hotel last minute. This was perfect for a night stay. Clean cozy room. We had to leave early the next morning missing the includes breakfast. The staff left us a togo breakfast in the self serve bar. Very kind and thoughful.

Very clean and cozy. Nice breakfast

I had a class at Saïd and it was a short walk to class every day. The staff are amazing! Very kind. The full English breakfast was excellent.

Very nicely kept "homey" place to stay. More like a B&B than hotel. Great fresh, made to order breakfast each morning .Really good staff (came back in after midnight to get suitcases airline had misdirected.) No a/c, but opening windows helped keep it cool at night. No elevator. Rooms on 2nd and 3rd floors. Road construction nearby means a little longer walk to downtown, but were told in advance.

The Hotel

Reasonably priced hotel 10 minutes walk from the town centre.
