Enjoyed a great 3 night stay. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, polite and helpful. Lovely big comfortable room, huge choice at breakfast. Perfect (quiet) location. A short drive to the park and ride for Oxford city centre and a few minutes walk to the river - we walked along the Thames path into the city centre one day. On Saturday there was a wedding taking place but the hotel is so large and sprawling we were not disturbed by it at all. Would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone

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.
