The staff was okay. I hope they understand that the International customer's arrival time depends on the flight. I arrived at the hotel at around 10:00 am and I understand that the check in time is 3:00 pm. They made me sit actually till 3:05 pm without even offering any water or coffee, not only that I could see that others arrived after me and was given the key to the room way before me. At 3:05 pm I had to go and ask for the key. This was not the way you treat a customer.

I liked the historic aspect of the place and how well it has been maintained. The staff at the desk was also excellent. Of course the lobation was terrific. On the negative side. I’m not sure if the hotel had air conditioning. I don’t think so. If so, it was ineffective in my room.

Standards don't reflect the price
Somewhat to our dismay we were given a disabled room without a bath. It was more like a wet room. Our view overlooked the aircon system. The room was comfortable, well-decorated but far too warm. The air conditioning didn't work properly (it was not possible to turn the temperature below 19 degrees) and the towel rail was left on. (It was more than 30 degrees outside) We had to use the portable fans 24 hours non-stop in order to keep the room cool. The television system did not work properly. For the first two days we were unable to get BBC1, 2, ITV or Channel four. On the last day we were able to receive these channels but with no sound. We had to use subtitles. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. I was a little concerned about reception - which could be chaos. Security concerned me as people could walk in and up the stairs unchallenged. Breakfast: book in advance to save £6 per person. Food good but expensive. A service charge of £2 in the bar is a little steep when the drinks were already over priced. Tables in the bar area were very slow to be cleared.

Not recommended
Hotels.com emailed me regarding my experience of checking and I gave several areas of concern at beginning of stay. The hotel was contacted by yourself and offered me an upgrade. I wouldn’t stay there again. The only advantage of this extremely expensive hotel is its position in the middle of the city. In addition to my existing complaints there was no offer of help with luggage either on arrival or on leaving. Also in over50 years of travelling the world I have never been told that there were two prices for breakfast cheaper if you pay in advance and more expensive if you just walk into the restaurant

The staff was super helpful and accomodating. The toiletries selection smell delightful. Locationwise it was super convenient for sight seeing as well as the bus station. Breakfast had so much variety. Unfortunetly half the thermal spa facilities were out of order and it would have been nice to have everything in working order.

Hotel was conveniently located in the heart of Oxford University which made site-seeing and dining very nice. The hotel and room were beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Easily some of the most spacious hotel rooms in the UK. The on-site bar and restaurant were also very nice!
