Excellent location,fantastic staff. Not 5-star hotel.
Pros:

Recently, we celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Store. The hotel is beautifully located right in the centre of Oxford. The reception staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We arrived earlier than expected and wanted to leave our luggage at the hotel, but it turned out that our room was already ready, so we were able to check in immediately.

We had booked a room with a balcony, but instead we were upgraded and given a room with a stunning terrace and breathtaking views over the city. The room itself, however, was small and, for a 5-star hotel, rather disappointing. There was not a single chair, armchair, or desk in the room. The mattress and pillows were hard and not particularly comfortable.

The bathroom was nicely and modernly designed, with a spacious shower cabin. The shower gels and shampoos were excellent quality and smelled wonderful. What felt very disappointing and lacking in class, however, was the note asking guests not to take these products home, otherwise they would be charged to the bill. Is it really necessary to mention something like that in a hotel of this standard?

For our anniversary, we received two complimentary drink vouchers for the bar. We decided to visit the rooftop bar, but unfortunately it was only open from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm, which made very little sense. It was the middle of the week — exactly the time when most people go out for dinner. It opened too late for a pre-dinner drink and closed too early for a drink after dinner. When we arrived, there was already a queue of around 8–10 people waiting for the bar to open. Yes, there is also a lobby bar open 24 hours a day, but the rooftop bar has a unique atmosphere and spectacular views.

Breakfast was another disappointment. We had the full English breakfast, and I must admit it was the worst full English breakfast I have ever had. One egg with an overcooked yolk, barely warm, a meat patty instead of proper sausages, a garlic mushroom for breakfast?

Cons:

Small room, breakfast

Pros:

The room itself was fantastic — beautifully done, comfortable and finished to a very high standard. The location is also excellent for exploring Oxford.
What really made the stay, though, was the staff. Every single member of staff we encountered — reception, bar staff and restaurant staff — were absolutely brilliant. Friendly, welcoming, attentive and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Nothing felt too much trouble, and the service was consistently warm and professional.

Cons:

The only slight disappointment was the breakfast. Given the price point, I did expect a little more variety and choice. The buffet selection felt quite limited compared to what you might expect from a hotel of this standard.
That said, the service and overall experience were excellent, and the staff really are a credit to the hotel.

Stylish, great location, family-friendly, great spa, go above and beyond for celebrations
Pros:

Stylish hotel. Very clean. Excellent communication from hotel before arrival. They went above and beyond to help me celebrate my son's first birthday. The restaurent made a fruit "cake", and they put balloons in our room. The guest experience manager who arranged it was very attentive and friendly throughout our stay. So if you have a special occasion happening during your stay, it's worth telling them before arrival. The hotel also provided a cot and nappy bin, and is accessible for prams. The massages at the spa were very good. We prebooked them online at The Stores own website. The location is central, so it's easy to walk to most attractions.

Cons:

Nice breakfast, but it's made to order, not buffet style, so there's a short wait. There's a small selection of cereals and fruits readily available on the table though.

Pros:

The hotel has beautiful architecture, good food, and a very good location.

Cons:

The hotel offers good hospitality with a friendly, individual approach, but several aspects could be improved. The spa opening hours were limited, the fitness studio was not well equipped, and breakfast lacked fresh vegetables. Maintenance work, a fire alarm, and security buttons placed everywhere also made the stay feel less relaxing than expected. unreliable for invoice.

Cons:

For what we needed from our stay there was nothing to not like really
