Pros:

Die Anlage ist hervorragend. Das Frühstück auch. Das Bett war sehr bequem. Leider war aber die Klimaanlage defekt. Das Bad war auch definitiv renovierungsbedürftig. Insofern war der Preis zu hoch.

Pros:

Location incredibile e staff estremamente cordiale e disponibile

Cons:

Ho dovuto cambiare camera all ultimo momento per qualche incomprensione sulla pet policy. Alcune finiture e qualche ragno (comunque comprensibile quando si è immersi nella natura)

Certain aspects could have been better, but this is a good location and good hotel for what I require.
Pros:

The size of the car park, the location

Cons:

The shower tray was blocked so as soon as it filled you had to stop showing, which meant that only one person could take a shower for a limited time. As a platinum elite member nothing was mentioned or offered, not sure how the points system now works.

Pros:

Our time at voco Oxford was great. All facilities were excellent and we particularly liked the swimming pool, sauna and gym. The staff were friendly and provided us with some great recommendations of places to visit.

We also had a morning walk along the beautiful river, which made our stay even more relaxing. Overall it was a very comfortable and pleasant experience.

We will be back, for sure. I would highly recommend travelling in a private car, as the public transport options are not that convenient.
