Like: Indian food was delicious. Shower was perfect. Great quiet area with lovely walk-about to see > the locks Area Prince of Wales restaurant was also delicious Not: Staff not enthusiastic about being there. Felt like I was work for them. Except the lady staff > she was good. Had that family ownership and I have to be here because this is family feel. Breakfast included was nice, but hope the cook is not absent, then limited options. Rooms were rough > needs some upkeep Some idiot lives in the area with a loud motorcycle and works late, but this probably just happened to be our luck. Overall > it is a place to stay and as long as you are not fussy then you are good to go.

Shabby. Inadequate effort to even make the place presentable. Overall give an impression of untidy and unclean. Staff not the most helpful and pleasant.

This was not an inexpensive hotel. My room was a single bed, tiny only a small space between it and the dressing table. The shower didnt work properly, i needed a vice like grip to turn the handle. Paint was peeling off the window frames and the facilities were from the 60's Very poor for the price

The evening meal was amazing, the rooms were okay and breakfast wasn't too good

No toilet roll holder. No shower gel in dispenser. No working bulb in bedside lamp or bathroom mirror. No working hairdryer or shaving socket. No spare blanket. No herbal teas. Shower fell off wall when adjusting height, had zero pressure we had to wash in sink. No working light in corridor making it difficult at night. Extremely tacky and dated decor. Place seemed to be falling apart. Breakfast consisted of children's cereal boxes and reconstituted juice. Again, no selection of herbal teas. Cooked menu was cold white toast no choice of bread. Cold, hard poached eggs and a small amount of avocado on one slice. Waitress surly to the point of tufe. Other staff did not acknowledge us. No info on parking in Oxford or bus routes, given we were some distance from the centre. An utter waste of money. I honestly don't know how this Hotel can remain in business.

From check-in to leaving the staff were incredibly rude with one-word grunts from them. The fire alarm went off at 7 am and I went downstairs to check whether it was genuine or not - and was ignored. Breakfast was at 8.30 and I needed to leave by 8 am so no alternative was offered. The room was worn and dirty with almost threadbare carpet, patched up wallpaper and out-of-the-ark fittings. The picture below was the level of dirt in the bathroom. This is the only hotel I've ever stayed in where I felt I needed to check the state of the sheets and really couldn't face using the shower. The room lock was almost inoperable and I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was there. DO NOT believe any of the good reviews and don't waste your money staying here. It was absolutely terrible and the staff were unbelievably rude.

needs a bit of TLC to the rooms and hotel Staff not very helpful or friendly at breakfast none really spoke to us and we werent even sure if we could get a cooked breakfast or not until we were silently handed a bit of paper with the choices!

The propert was tired and needed general updating, it was not the cleanest hence a little grubby. Bed and bedlinen was ckean and comfortable bed. We would not stay again.

The Tree has always been a cheaper place to stay. But the time has come when they have to spend some proper money on improving the accommodation. The lock on my bathroom was completely broken and I ended up getting locked in. I had to climb onto the toilet and shout through a narrow window to ask a stranger to notify management. A staff member let me out after 15 mins and I explained that the lock needed a proper repair but I don't think he understood as he just pieced the lock back together again. It is a safety hazard to have people unable to leave rooms and not fix the problem. The room was cold. I resent paying £80/night for a room that doesn't have basic functionality. But no manager was available to discuss this concern. It's a real shame as the food in the restaurant is lovely. But these rooms could be the undoing of this place.

Convenient for our purposes. Room No:-5 - very spacious and clean. Bed matress nice and firm, we slept well. Shower water pressure disappointing. The room and hotel overall is rather dated and tired though still good enough for a night or two. The Bar/Pub very welcoming. Friendly staff and clientel. We all enjoyed our meal at the Indian resturant, recommended. Full English breakfast is a No No. tasteless chicken sausages, unidentified slice of something pretending to be bacon.. Go for Poached eggs on toast.. All in All a very nice stay and we would return, and have poached eggs on toast for breakfast.

Whilst the building and situation were nice, unfortunately it is need of updating! Sheets clean but beds hard. Carpet and decor need refurbishing. Wallpaper hanging off of bathroom ceiling and whilst breakfast ok, not a great deal to choose from.

Mattress on the bed should have been replaced a long long time ago, bathroom window frames covered in mould, paper peeling off the ceiling. Shower head leaked water all over had to tighten the fittings by hand hot water was only like warm carpets are old and thread bare. Only Indian food available in the restaurant no other choices. Best advice avoid.

After seeing some of the negative reviews I was a bit nervous, since we were here for a wedding. But if you go in knowing the score (some pretty dated rooms, above a loud pub) then it's a great deal for the price! Room was big and comfortable. But it definitely wasn't clean or modern, and the bathroom was a bit on the gross side. Breakfast was very nice and the staff very friendly.

Poor hospitality and poor rooms

Unfortunate the room was flooded and the staff told me she had phoned and emailed to cancel my booking. I had set off from Dorset so didn't get my email. I had no missed calls. On arrival was told i had no room. The receptionist did offer and try finding me another B&B nearby. But i ended up sorting this myself. Not very impressed. Someone could have phoned me to say the room wasn't available - finding out on arrival after a 3hr drive wasn't how i had planned my day.

We had four primary criteria when looking for a place to stay in Oxford: Price was admittedly first on the list, second was free on-site parking for the car, third was access to busses into the city; fourth was breakfast included in the price. The Tree Hotel delivered on all of these plus a few more. However, it is really just one step above a hostel (which was fine for us) but would be disappointing for someone looking for refined comfort. Key pluses: the hotel and area felt safe. We never worried for our car or felt uncomfortable walking through the neighbourhood. Iffley looks and feels like the quaint English village is us. The Bangladeshi-Indian restaurant. This is the one area of the building that looks and feels well kept. It is bright, clean and clean--important for a restaurant. The "Kurma" is excellent, and the "Patia" ... we had to go back a second night so I could have it again. I wish they bottled it! The room was tidied every day with bottled water and T&C replenished. The negatives: it is a hotel very much in need of a handyman to look after loose and missing fittings, mouldings, carpentry, plumbing etc. The staff were a mixed bag. Some were excellent and very helpful and accommodating, others not so much. Some left you feeling that the primary focus was about controlling costs (OK, fair enough). Takeaway: We would stay again.
