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!

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.

Basic accommodation in lovely part of oxford

Great location - lovely area. More of a pub/restaurant with rooms than a hotel. Room was small and functional - clean bedding and towels. Shower did not work ( there was a bath too) and no instructions so took a while to work out how to get wall hairdryer switched on.

The room smelt of dampness which I removed by airing the place. Hotel and the rooms require renovation. Staff seem standoffish but are happy to help when asked. Easy parking and good location for Oxford and surroundings.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely stay - Excellent Indian Resturant

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.

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.

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.

Very Average

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

Not great,mould/damp. Good location,not stay 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.

Time to spend some money, guys

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.
