Joanna Aug 31, 2025 11:13:08 PM
Summary: We used the pool and sauna/steam room several times over our stay. The area was reasonably clean but there are a few missing tiles and the changing rooms would also have benefited from deep cleaning on a more regular basis. The steam room was poor with no hose to clean down and inadequate steam. The sauna however was good though a little on the small side.

Summary: This hotel was absolutely fantastic, as soon as we arrived the lady on reception was friendly and helpful. We were there for our 25th wedding anniversary and little things they done really made it special, some chocolates for us, a few glass of prosecco with dinner and 'Happy Anniversary' on our dessert plate. Food was amazing and all the staff are so friendly. My only negative was that you have to pay for parking, which if we were close to the town centre yes, but there is nothing around. But this did not ruin our stay

Summary: Great hotel. Modern clean comfortable. Great pool and gym
Vivien Jul 5, 2025 07:45:00 PM
Summary: The cost of the room was £300 and therefore the standard of the Hotel can only be described as disappointing. The hotel was tired. The breakfast was tired and ordinary. The bar food was at best average.
Amy Jun 23, 2025 03:43:28 AM
Summary: Amazing hotel and just what we were looking for! We were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary and wanted a peaceful retreat and we got just that! The service was perfect, we had dinner at Napiers, breakfast, utilised the bar area, swimming pool, room service amongst speaking with reception and all friendly and attentive. The grounds are simply stunning also. We had a room with a balcony and i can definitely recommend one of these. Cant wait to come back again!

Summary: We booked a Premium River View King Room. The room did not have any river views. The only way to “view” the river was to walk to the end of the hotel gardens.
Harriet Jun 22, 2025 04:24:23 PM
Summary: We had a great time at Voco, it's a lovely hotel with great staff. Beautiful pool and grounds, great breakfast. I was a little worried about the location but it was very easy to get the bus to and from central Oxford and the perfect escape from the crowds
Lettie Jun 12, 2025 07:39:13 PM
Summary: Beautiful location, very nice room overlooking the gardens and friendly staff.
Shannon Jun 11, 2025 03:30:40 PM
Summary: Beautiful hotel, very clean and well kept. The staff are so lovely and friendly, nothing was too much of a bother for them. Breakfast was very good!
Gerhard Jun 6, 2025 02:13:36 AM
Summary: The hotel is nicely situated and has comfortable bedrooms. The personnel was kind and helpful. The breakfast buffet offered a large choice. Only the parking taxes are annoying.
