Wonderful stay
Friendly reception staff, beautiful beamed room (king premium) in the old part of the hotel.
The staff in the restaurant, both for breakfast and especially evening dinner were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for you.
The pool, sauna and steam room were great

Fantastic
We went away for a long weekend break. We had a fantastic time! The hotel is absolutely lovely. Great location within walking distance of the centre Oxford along the river. The rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean. We ate in the restaurant one Friday evening and the food was great and beautifully presented.
The staff at this hotel are absolutely amazing and that made our stay extra special. In particular, the head waiter/manager in the restaurant went out of his way to help. Highly recommend this hotel and we will defintely be returning

We just stayed for just the one night, but that was enough to make a great impression. The lovely welcome by your very bubbly receptionist, the comfort of the bedroom and the super breakfast all contributed to a memorable stopover. We hope to visit again in the future.

An Enjoyable return to the Voco Oxford Thames
Enjoyed our most recent visit to Voco Oxford Thames. Looked after by all team members we engaged with throughout trust day. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed our time in the lounge and bar areas. Breakfast runs smoothly and we sat down before 9 am so the restaurant was relatively quiet. We use the 3A bus service to get in and out of the city, which worked very well for us. Thank you for looking after us during our time at the Voco Oxford Thames.

Bit far out of Oxford with limited and expensive taxis available. Spa area and pool very tired and in need of refurbishment. Room was lovely and comfortable bed. Breakfast was delicious.
