Ottima posizione
Pros:

Posizione tranquilla raggiungibile dal centro città con bus numero 3 e 3A. Si paga con carta di credito sul bus. Parcheggio ampio. Silenzio e bel verde tutt’attorno. Se si viaggia in auto è una posizione comoda appena fuori città. In 40min si arriva a piedi lungo il Tamigi, splendido. Colazione ampia e anche su richiesta. Menzione speciale per la sig.a Wendy che è molto cordiale

Cons:

Quando siamo stati noi, non funzionava l’ascensore per raggiungere il piano della nostra stanza

Pros:

The staff were very friendly. The family room was spacious.

Cons:

The space for guests in the bar was very small as a large area of the bar was booked out for a private event. Pretty expensive given there is no pool/gym etc.

Schönes Hotel, gute Lage, freundliches Personal
Pros:

Die Deko des Zimmers und Badezimmers waren ungewöhnlich und nach meinem Geschmack. Beide waren sehr geräumig.
Die Lage ist ziemlich zentral und das Zimmer war ruhig.

Cons:

Der Abfluss in der Dusche war verstopft, was ich zu spät bemerkt habe. Es hat eine Ueberschwemmung gegeben. Dann haben wir verstanden, warum der Teppich am Uebergang von Schlaf-zum Badezimmer etwas feucht war. Ich scheine nicht die Einzige gewesen zu sein, die ein Problem mit dem Abfluss hatte.
Der Parkplatz war etwas weiter weg und vor dem Hotel ist es nicht einfach einen Platz zum Be-und Entladen zu finden.

Home away from home
Pros:

We absolutely love this place. Stayed here in 2022 and this time we came back with our dog. It's very dog-friendly, Iffley village is beautiful and quiet, the rooms are comfy, the staff is nice, very good breakfast, free parking. Hope to come back again some day.
