“A good nights stay at the Holiday Inn”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I think this is a straight up 3 star property. We stayed 1 night and it offered a very Holiday Inn experience. Large, clean rooms with easy check in and a trouble free night - a bit impersonal I thought. It seems to cater to businesspeople, large groups and conferences/training courses.

This hotel is located just off the motorway and has the typical fast food joints and other 2/3 star hotels in a complex type arrangement on the edge of Oxford.

We had dinner at the hotel as we had arrived quite late - again it was OK but nothing great = 3 star. The Maitre d' the night we were there was an Indian guy and he was excellent. We took the time to compliment him on the feedback form that was offered. He was a standout among a fairly sorry lot of bar staff and waiters.

I would look elsewhere if I go to Oxford again, I think I would prefer a character property in the centre over this sterile place.

Breakfast was pretty good in a simple buffet style

“Overcharging..”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I stayed two nights at this hotel in January 2012. I made a mistake when I made the booking. I booked 24 and 25 of January when in fact I intended to stay 25 and 26. Clearly it was my fault. But I was disappointed by the fact that the staff didn't do much to help. I ended up paying for three nights. On top of that the hotel charged the full fare GDP 151 for the third night which is clearly too much for this type of hotel. I would have hoped for a more commercial attitude..

“Nice for an overnight”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

This hotel is reasonable value for people needing to be near Oxford. I expected average food from a Holiday Inn but it was a lovely set menu in the evenings with good choice, and the breakfast was good but by 8am a lot of the food was gone so be careful. The room was very nice and spacious, however I was in a room near the laundry I think, so it was quite noisy. I would recommend this for overnight stays but probably not for a break away.

Room Tip: Be careful not to get a room near the lifts, as these seem to be near something quite noisy (I assum...

“Good value, nice room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

person found this review helpful

The hotel is located just off the main road into Oxford and offers free parking. The room is nice, clean and well-equipped. The staff were very friendly and helpful: they gave us tips on dining in Oxford as it was our first visit there. For a large chain hotel, their service exceeded our expectation.

Typical Holiday Inn; very clean, well presented and helpful staff. We went to the complex next door for dinner and were happy with that. The rooms were quiet, beds typically Holiday Inn firm.
