The standout features of this hotel were the friendly welcome and helpfulness of the staff, the breakfast which included a choice of kippers, the view of the Thames from the dining room (I watched an angler catching a fish from the opposite bank and swans and ducks were swimming on the river), the honesty bar and there was a teapot in my room with the tea and coffee and biscuits which I really appreciated. The best of British hospitality and a comfortable cosy room made up for no lift and older facilities, all of which worked well.

Staff are very friendly and cook you aspecialised. breakfast. Very centrally located, but lots of road works so frustrating to go in and out of hotel if you plan to use a car to get to the hotel or get about. Hotel probably has not had an upgrade since i950 so expect to see outated carpets, chairs, bathroom and stairs. Hotwater needs to run for 5 minutes before hot water comes through. Old world charm with honesty system bar.

Old rooms and our room was at the streetside, quite noisy at night, but we liked it anyway because of the friendly reception, parking behind the hotel, walking distance to the city centre, good breakfast.

Excellent service and friendly helpful staff. Excellent location, right next to the train station, plenty of free parking. Hotel was clean and warm despite it being freezing. Our room didn’t have an en suite and had to access our private bathroom across the corridor. Room was cosy, a little old fashion in decor but added to the charm. I would definitely return and recommend.

The River turned out to be just what we needed when visiting the city to see a concert. The location was great as you don’t need a car to get around Oxford, so you can use their free car park and walk ten minutes to the actual city centre. The large building has a lot of character and the breakfast room was delightful, with windows looking out towards the river. There was a good cooked breakfast plus we could have chosen cold items, cereals etc. The bedroom was older style yet was very comfortable with modern conveniences. The staff were pleasant and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to book the River Hotel again if I return to Oxford. Because of the lack of a lift and the steps to the front and rear of the hotel, it wouldn’t be suitable for people with serious mobility issues, but for others I would highly recommend staying there.

The River Hotel was a quaint and lovely place for the three of us! The breakfast was delicious! Our only problems came when 1. We got locked out of the hotel by accident because their receptionist is not available around the clock. And 2. We did not receive maid service or get clean towels. But when we asked for them, the situation was quickly rectified. Ella at the front desk made some excellent recommendations for places to eat. We really appreciated her expertise and kindness. We felt like we were staying in a fairytale cottage. The construction on the bridge was a minor inconvenience, but it was wonderfully easy to walk to the city center.

When we were visiting Oxford, I was reading Dorothy Sayer’s “Gaudy Night”, as one does, and this hotel felt very much like coming out of the book. Yes, most of its furnishings would work very well in that time (including horrible only-hot/only-cold taps), but the service was always like from non-corporeal profit-optimizing times. Very friendly, very human approach. And yes, concerning cleanliness, everything was standard and clean.
