Lovely break in Oxford

We booked a last minute stay at this hotel and we are really glad we did. The staff were all absolutely amazing, they really made the stay. Everyone was helpful, friendly and polite. The rooms were great- large, comfortable and quiet. We ate at the hotel restaurant which was nice but a bit pricey. However the breakfast is great value for money and there’s a great choice at the buffet. The location is also a highlight- central Oxford is a ten minute walk away and is reached by a very pleasant stroll along the Thames. On a (very slight) negative note: I thought it was a little bit off to charge £20 for parking; and the pool was a bit crowded with nowhere to relax properly. Overall though it was a brilliant stay and I’d recommend this place to anyone.

Relaxing stay

A nice relaxing stay. Good choices for breakfast. Very comfortable bed and linen lovely and clean room too, with great facilities , iron, ironing board. Full tea and coffee making facilities and water available in room. Would have appreciated a mirror on the desk/ dressing table. Used the pool etc. changing rooms were not as clean as I would have hoped. But would most definitely return to The Spires! Well placed out of the city centre, set back from the road, handy for the river and very walkable into the city.

Great hotel for any stay in Oxford. We came for a long weekend over and just wanted to explore the city centre area and relax. We especially enjoyed breakfast, wish there was a vegetarian meat option but wasn’t a huge deal as there’s so many other options. The staff/ service was really good. We had treatments and used the pool & jacuzzi which were great and easy to use - just wish that the changing areas/ showers were cleaner. We had dinner one day at Deacons and the staff were great but the food was expensive for what it was, I’d pass and go to the city centre instead next time. It was easy to take the buses into the city or just walk, took around 15 minutes and it would be lovely in the summer. Overall, would definitely visit again and recommend to others! Thanks to the whole team for looking after us so well.

A great hotel in a great location, a 20 minute walk to the centre. Easy to find and on site parking. Gym and other facilities also available (but I wasn’t able to make use of them). The room was fantastic, clean and tidy, good soundproofing. All the amenities were available- including an iron! Would definitely stay here again.
