Location is perfect, only 5 minutes of walking from train station. The room is spacious. My room even had a river view! Also the breakfast is delicious. Highly recommended.
Nice, old school property in a nice riverside location. Very short walk to the train station and an easy walk into Oxford. Breakfast was very good as well. Be aware that there is no lift/elevator nor is there air-conditioning or mini fridges in the rooms.
We were most welcomed on our arrival, everything was explained as regards to amenities.
The breakfasts certainly set you up for the day, they were well presented and freshly cooked and came to the table hot, which was bonus.
For anyone going to Oxford, we would highly recommend a stay at the River Hotel and very reasonably priced.
Thanks for comfortable stay.
cleanliness was brilliant. rooms were nice, but somewhat impractical for a business traveler (no real desk space). outlet for european plugs would have been useful, for international travelers.
The River Hotel is a very charming small hotel. The rooms and bathrooms are roomy and comfortable. The breakfast was very good, like homemade, and the hospitality was excellent. The negatives are that it was quite hot (heatwave) with no air conditioning, and the considerable noise of the road/bridge work right outside the window. They did provide fans. That being said, we would consider returning during more pleasant weather and when the roadwork is complete.
Thank you to the management and staff
A small old property with an excellent staff, a great breakfast area, clean rooms and very well located.
Definitely, I will choose this properly next time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
Clean, comfortable and friendly! Close to transportation and a 10min walk to the city center. Breakfast was wonderful! Lovely little sitting room stocked with drinks and snacks was an added bonus. Would definitely stay there again.
Great location by the river, easy access to the city and lovely river walks. Breakfast good quality well cooked. 27/7 access to the honesty bar. Great welcoming staff.
