Not quite good enough for another visit, this was the fourth time we have stayed at the Tree.
Pros:

Bathroom had been renovated but not completed. No hooks to hang gowns, paint on the windows, broken window latch held together with string. Breakfast was good except for the first day when only bread and scrambled eggs were available.
Dinners were very good. Service was friendly and efficient. The bar and the beer were good.

Cons:

Outside grounds were unkempt. Piles of rubbish, weeds in the paved areas, old decorations flapping in the wind.

Great upgrade
Pros:

Was there in 2024 and it was in need of a serious upgrade.
Wow has been beautifully upgraded.
Loved the room and bathroom..

Perhaps just store the ironing board and vacuum cleaner in a cupboard not leave in the hallway.

Compared to everything else the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Cereal, orange juice and coffee was all that was on offer when I asked re cooked breakfast was told all they had was Eggs, nothing else. Language a bit of a problem.

Curry previous nite was delicious.

Cons:

Lack of breakfast

Pros:

Nothing at all.

Cons:

I didn't like that i was not told about the party and live band from the bar very loud i had to sit in my car to talk on my phone.
If this is advertised as a hotel there should be a door to block out sound.
The shower didn't have hot water.
I also stated I was vegan and ask for a vegan breakfast.
On Sunday morning I was told I could have egg on toast. I had beans instead.
I ask for almond or oat milk and was told they could not buy it because it would waste.
Monday morning i left without having breakfast.

I wasted my money on this hotel in the heart of beautiful Iffley Village my final word appalling!!

Pros:

They tried to make the room look good.

Cons:

Shower with warm water, was just cold, very nosey floor boards, bathroom door not shutting, main door to the room sweeking and banging. The hotel mainly dated smelling. The toilet not flushing well,

Paid for breakfast, not much for vegetarian, did not eat breakfast for the 2 days, did not like the fact, they serving breakfast in pub area and not in the restaurant area, the place was deserted, we wore the only ones eating dinner and no people in the morning. Very boring, no staff around, just so only

Disappointing is an understatement.
Pros:

Location close to Iffley lock, terrific.
WiFi worked and password easily available

Cons:

When we arrived ~6pm there was a very loud party happening in the garden, but were told it would stop at 9:30. When we returned after 9pm it was still going and the music just as loud. By 9:45pm I phoned the hotel and complained about the noise -- it eventually stopped after 10pm. Then a drunk outside in the garden started shouting very loudly -- a woman joined in just as loudly, and that went on for another hour... A bottle was smashed out there. The bathroom was poorly designed -- very low flow from the shower -- hard to get wet.. The basin tap turned-on hard very easily and then shot water right out of the front of the sink. No toilet-roll holder. Bedroom: There was only 1 bedside table and one bedside lamp. The mattress was too hard. There was no top-sheet, just a thick duvet yet the room temperature was ~36-39C. The room was impossibly hot when we arrived (windows facing sun, all closed) and the walls had all heated up, and so kept the room very hot all night, even with all the windows open. The pillows were horribly uncomfortable. We didn't sleep all night, and left a day early as we couldn't survive another sleepless night. There were no drawers to store anything in. The hanging space in the wardrobe was completely taken up by an ironing board that had to be stored on the diagonal! There was no room service - when we returned from our first day out, nothing in the room had been touched -- the bed was as we left it, the bathroom / towels ditto. There was no phone in the room and no published way of reaching reception - I had to phone the outside line on my cell-phone.

Cons:

We didn't stay there it was really in a bad state renovations being done we walked into the reception area which had a rundown bar with a group sitting there swearing and drinking on the top of their voices
The guy on reception tried to be helpful but it wasn't his fault the hotel was in such shocking condition that we would not wanted to stay there he tried hard and we cancelled on line and left
