Holiday Inn Oxford, an IHG Hotel

I was so impressed with our stay. We picked this hotel due to its proximity to the park and ride into Oxford (very handy) and we noted that the hotel generally had very good reviews. I would say that we didn't have the highest of expectations booking this hotel, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable our stay was and it was a real highlight of our weekend away. We travelled as 2 adults and our daughter (under 5). In terms of the room, it was very spacious and whilst we didn't spend a great deal of time in the room it was very comfortable. No complaints. In terms of location, it was perfect for a sightseeing trip. Only 10 minutes or less on the bus into town and a 5 minute walk to the park and ride. The bus cost £6 return (pretty good compared to the price of an Uber!). But what really made our stay exceptional were the efficient and friendly staff throughout the hotel. I would have expected the hotel experience to be quite impersonal at such a large hotel chain - but this was not the case at all. We decided to eat in the restaurant and the staff were just amazing, really friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has a very wide menu. The staff were also able to accommodate my wife's wish to watch the FA Cup Semi Final during our meal (although sadly, they couldn't do much about the result!). So I would recommend using the restaurant, particularly if you're traveling with kids. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly and I know that if I were to repeat a trip to Oxford, I would not hesitate to book this hotel again.

Staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Kyle was excellent in the restaurant, nothing was too much trouble and he made our evening. Daniel on reception acted immediately when I reported a defect and it was fixed in 20 minutes. Food was really good, hot fresh and attending to use the Academy for our 5 day course was great.

All the staff were friendly, cheerful and helpful and the room and hotel was attractive (especially with the sparkle of the Christmas decorations and unicorns) clean and smelled good throughout. We loved the location, close to the Park and Ride, which meant no driving after our initial journey from Dorchester

Modern hotel - we were upgraded so had a big room. Breakfast busy but well organised and generous. Well located if you are driving and want to get to Woodstock or want to use the park and ride.

Didnt have breakfast as we dont mostly. Room was fantastically comfortable tv worked well. Fridge was good in the room and bathroom very clean and accessible
