Very comfortable place to stay if you don't mind the walk into town.
Pros:

We had adjoining rooms for my family on ground floor. Both very comfortable with a nice view out over the fields

Cons:

We have an electric car. Seemed to be only 2 operable charging points (there were 4 that we inoperable) in the whole property that we always occupied. £25 a day for parking seemed a bit of a rip off seeing as we were already guests of the hotel.

Good location but expensive.
Pros:

Good location for our plans.

Cons:

Having to pay additionally for parking. Staff welcome etc. not great - they were consistently straight into asking if we’d paid the parking, registered the car, checked in online, or if we wanted to check out - not smile, good afternoon, welcome, good morning, how was your stay niceties. Disappointing given the fee. Whoever dusts the room needs to do better:

Aromatherapy massage
Pros:

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing one of the best aromatherapy massages offered by Olivia, and it was truly exceptional from start to finish. What stood out most was her attention to detail. She took the time to understand my preferences and areas of concern, ensuring that the treatment felt personalised rather than routine. She did a great job.

Pros:

Very close, walking distance to city centre. Saved on ubers everyday.

Cons:

Room was quite dated.
Aircon like most hotels was noisy due to lack of maintenance so not practical to use at night.
Almost all ceiling spotlights flickered constantly so could only use bedside lamps.
Tv came on one night 2am. Oddly no way to set an alarm or turn anything off.
Maze - our family room was a jungle adventure to get to. Impossible if you were emebrieated from drink!

Other than the exorbitant no-choice parking fee - try;y exceptional.
Pros:

Great location wonderful facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Cons:

The £25.00 over night per night parking fee - really? We were staying there - why - never before have I been charged for on-site parking in a car park where we were staying.

Comfort and practicality close to Oxford
Pros:

We regularly come here when we drop/collect our son from Uni. Although the Spires is slightly out of town, it is still walkable to the City Centre and Oxford taxis are reasonable value. We like it because the rooms are clean and comfortable, they have decent parking and they are usually able to accommodate our request for connecting rooms. It also has a good breakfast and bar.

Cons:

Very little to criticise. The food menu in the evenings is a bit limited but there are so many other options in Oxford I wouldn’t be concerned on that score. Bar can be crowded if they are hosting a function but it doesn’t affect the service much.
