Hotels near Thames Path National Trail

"This is our 3rd stay at the Store in the past 7 months and won’t be our last. We love staying at this central, modern and well designed hotel. It has the right amount of luxury and the staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The rooms do vary but we have begun to become familiar with some of the rooms. They have a very good breakfast with some continental items but you may also order from the à la carte menu. We chose not to include breakfast this time only because we eat too much when we do! We also booked the complimentary 1 hour in the thermal suite which my husband throughly enjoys. They also have additional paid spa services you could book which I’m sure are lovely but we haven’t had an opportunity to do so yet. The hotel is centrally located right on Broad Street but the windows to the rooms are very well soundproofed so I was never bothered by any street noise but on occasion in the mid morning I would hear footsteps from the room above us (they sounded like heavy footed walkers!). Do note that you can’t drive up to the hotel doors but you can stop your car a 2 minute walk away and they will come help you with your luggage if you need it. Also note that they don’t have parking, but there is a car park a 5 minute walk away. It’s expensive (£35-40 per 24 hrs) so do factor that in when you travel to Oxford (as I believe most hotels don’t have parking). The hotel also has a lovely (small) rooftop Terrace bar which is great on nice days. You can sit outside or inside "

"Located out of Oxford centre but with great access to the ring road, restaurants, shops and amenities. Limited chargeable parking onsite but good on street and car park facilities nearby. Clean simple hotel, no frills or opulence as your expect from this budget chain. "

"The property was clean but scruffy. A bit run down. The room was basic and comfortable. Bed comfortable. The bathroom was too small. My husband is 6ft 2. He struggled to sit on the toilet. Knees against the shower screen. The shower wasn't enclosed enough, the water leaked on the floor. The breakfast was good, basic cooked and continental. We weren't aware of the parking at the back of the property but we managed to squeeze into a parking space at the front. The property is 25/30 min walk to Oxford city centre. Which suited us."

"Nice enough, standard room. Quite basic."

"Stayed for one night, would go back."

"10/10 couldn't wish for a better stay."

"Good room, comfortable bed, clean bathroom and good shower! I couldn’t get the TV to work so suggest some instructions should be provided. "

"An absolutely beautiful authentic old inn. 10/10 on character. We had our dinner in the pub below and the food was amazing. We can't say enough good comments about this inn. "

"Check the small print - for a 5* listed property only a 3 hour check-in window was offered without pre-arrangement. I occasionally stay in other hotels in the area without an issue as a night porter would usually be available to assist upon late arrivals - I find it concerning that no staff member would be available on-site overnight, or out of hours contact details would be provided. No answer on the listed phone number when called, no contact from the property prior to leaving for the evening, hard to follow up with any support from Hotels.com for a Platinum Member. Naturally, no problem with collecting monies from the Credit Card however!"
