Kafa dinlemek için efsane bir yer sineklere çözüm bulunması lazım
Pros:

Temiz
Çalışanlar çok yardımcı oluyorlar
Ayesha Hanım kendi evimizde gibi hissettirdi
Tüm detayları ve yapabileceğimiz tüm planlamalar için yardımcı oldu

Cons:

Çok sinek var
Odada terlik vb ihtiyaçlar yoktu
İstedikten sonra gönderdiler ama bunun artık standart olarak odada olması gerekiyor
Bu fiyata bu şeyler düşünülmemesi gerekiyor

Amazing hotel, lovely staff
Pros:

Lovely room and location. Great food - we had room service and breakfast. Great staff - we made a mistake with our booking (completely our own fault, not the hotels fault) and they could not have been more accommodating even though they didn’t have to be. Liza in particular who dealt with us was really kind, understanding and patient. We really appreciated it.

Cons:

No negatives

Lovely place to stay - would be happy to stay again :)
Pros:

Beautiful setting by the river so great for walks & easy to get to the centre of Oxford. Loved the pool & sauna too.

Cons:

Could have done with lower lighting at dinner in the restaurant & cooler music! Jazz maybe. Steam room wasn’t up to temperature.
