Top 10 University College Hotels

Nous avons dîné et passe une nuit au manoir. Chaleureux accueil depuis le voiturier (Peter) à la réception, une superbe suite, très confortable, spacieuse, dotée d’une jolie petite terrasse au calme, avec de nombreuses charmantes attentions de la part de l’établissement (un délicieux cake au citron mamma mia !!! des fruits, du champagne, une jolie carte, etc) Le dîner : les mises en bouche et entrées étaient absolument divines et sublimes, de vrais bijoux !! nous avons été un peu moins impressionnés je dois dire sur les plats qui nous ont sembles plus simples et moins travaillés (agneau et turbot) Desserts fabuleux en revanche ! Les sommeliers ont pris soin de nous. Nous n’avons pas aimé du tout un des vins prévus dans l’accord mets et vins et l’un des sommeliers a sélectionné une autre bouteille, rare et inattendue, pour nous satisfaire. C’était aussi gentil que généreux de sa part et cela a totalement et instantanément effacé notre déception première ! Le service en salle est très pro, mais assez peu chaleureux, c’est dommage, car le personnel n’engage absolument pas avec les clients. Du coup cela manque un peu d’âme. Il en va de même au petit déjeuner (délicieux d’ailleurs) : service pro mais sans touche personnelle. Nous avons visité la cave à vin, expérience sympathique hélas trop brève. La visite guidée des jardins était fabuleuse! A ne pas manquer ! Beaucoup d’anecdotes partagées par une guide souriante et passionnée ! Le seul vrai bémol est que lorsque l’on envoie un mail il faut relancer : sur 2 sujets différents j’ai du relancer 2 fois, et même appeler l’établissement faute de réponse. On peut tout de même s’attendre à mieux. Je suis certaine que cela sera corrigé à la lecture de cette revue ! Nous retournerons sans aucun doute passer un week-end au Manoir car malgré les légers bémols indiqués dans cette revue, nous avons passé un excellent moment, dans un cadre superbe, avec un personnel serviable et attentif, et de nombreux petits cadeaux très appréciés.

Unique food, impeccable service! I attended a large dinner in the ballroom. The chandeliers and lighting in the room created a beautiful atmosphere. The servers were kind and attentive. Main course was a unique aubergine dish - something out of the ordinary - and it was wonderfully prepared. I’ve eaten at The Alice for dinner as well as tea, and now I know that banquets are as delicious as the restaurant.

Amazing find just beautiful! We came for the night as a little family hen do. My mum, sister and niece came Saturday afternoon and stayed till Sunday. EVERYONE was so welcoming helpful and polite. Our rooms were amazing with everything you needed. We had a balcony overlooking the grounds to the the river Thames. Nice and clean with really comfy beds. We used the pool and steam room Saturday afternoon unfortunately the jacuzzi wasn’t working and had been drained but didn’t stop us relaxing. Our dinner Saturday night in Napiers was delicious! Our waitress Abby was polite, chatty and lovely to chat to. She was really helpful. Breakfast was awesome! And great that you could take a coffee away with you in the disposable cups provided. My niece wants to make it a regular trip!! Highly recommend

We stayed just one night to meet family members for dinner in Oxford. It is very well located for the city cetre. Despite that, it is in a quiet location and we had a good night's rest in a small but comfortable room. It lacks the range of facilites that you may want for a long stay. For example, it has no lounge, restaurant or lifts, which is the only reason I could not give 5 /5 for facilites. What facitlities is does have are good: in room tea and coffee making, television, radio and WiFi. Staff are friendly and helpful. We came by car and used the Park and Ride system, which is excellent. Oxford bus services are good. The hotel is also only a short taxi ride from the station if you go by train. The hotel was ideal for a short stay and we will use it again.

During the summer vacation, the prices are favorable, the rooms are all of the same standard size, and the prices vary depending on the view. Clean and hygienic, not big, but practical. I saw that the price in September is quite expensive, costing 3K. It is very close to the Westgate Shopping Center in Oxford and is very convenient for all kinds of food. It is also very convenient to reach various colleges in Oxford within walking distance. The breakfast at the hotel is very good. In addition to the various delicacies on display, you can also ask the waiter for some freshly made omelet egg rolls, which taste better than Hilton hotels. Produced by Marriott, the quality is assured.

My first experience highlighted the incompetent service. I booked an executive room and was told 6 months later that they had listed it at the wrong price. After confirming the new price, it was clearly confirmed on ***********. The hotel clearly ignore these confirmations because they downgraded me to a classic, but left *********** to charge me the higher price. Hotel not interested, everyone else’s fault. No apology, no compensation. *********** had to contact the hotel and correct the price again. Access code arrived less than 3 hours prior to check-in, which was the first I knew of my downgrade. Classic rooms are OK but very noisy if you’re at the back. Sink plug broken, poor ventilation, good Wi-Fi, clean and comfortable bed. Stayed 2 nights but after first night, no housekeeping, no clean cups, no new toiletries and bottles of water. They have clearly, following the decision to sell, given up. If you haven’t booked already, or have a flexible booking, you might wish to do the same.

On a recent visit to Oxford I decided to stay in one of the prison cells at the Malmaison Oxford which was a former prison. It was a great decision as the rooms were indeed cells and still have the steel doors and brick walls to prove it. Everything else is completely modern with a large bathroom and nice working area. The location in what is actually part of Oxford Castle is within easy walking distance of most of Oxford's main attractions including the Ashmolean Museum, Bodleian Library and the principal colleges as well as the Westgate Mall. The hotel has a lot of nice modern art, much of it with a prison motif, albeit tongue-in-cheek. The staff is young and friendly and the clientele is quite mixed. I saw a Ford Focus parked beside a Ferrari. The dining room and bar are quite small at first glance until you realize there are many side rooms into what were once cells. The full English breakfast was great, but for dinner we went to some of the nearby pubs and the small Italian restaurant Prezzo which literally right next door. My only complaint was that the internet in the rooms is spotty, no doubt because of the thick walls and steel doors. But it works fine everywhere else. This is a luxury hotel, but the prices were definitely quite reasonable for the experience offered.

Returned from 4 night stay at Hawkwell House Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. To begin with I booked direct with the hotel, not wanting the corporate Mecure website and got exactly what I wanted... great customer service. Chavi was extremely helpful. The hotel itself is well situated, about 10-15 minutes on bus to Oxford City Centre (stop on Iffley turn). The hotel was clean, staff friendly, food good for both breakfast (good choice) and evening. We ate in the bar twice. Only a couple of possible notes of potential improvement. It would be handy to have a note in the room to remind guests of meal times (breakfast). I realise most paper was removed under Covid but there was an Oxfordshire brochure. Perhaps something to program into the TV? Similar to another review, a water pump type noise would come on in our room in the early hours of the morning. This sounded like the air con/heater and whilst not major it may need investigating. It's similar to work's and we didn't need to use anyway but perhaps instructions may be beneficial for guests? Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if ever Oxford way again would definitely come back! Thank you.

Stayed in the shepherds hut for our anniversary and had an absolutely lovely time. It was perfect for autumn, winter snug (in a good way) well furnished and with a log fire. I imagine it would be lovely in summer too as it opens on to the garden. The staff could not have been nicer, Sorin, Gavin and the lovely lady that did housekeeping (didn't catch her name) made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Before we even got there they were super prompt answering questions via email and were happy to help with anything we asked when we arrived. I honestly couldn't have asked for a nicer stay. Thoroughly recommend!

The room was very cozy and the location was very good. To be honest, this hotel gave me a very good three-day Christmas experience. The hotel's decoration is exquisite and elegant. There is also a piano solo performance and Christmas cake service during the Christmas period. On the 25th, small gifts were prepared for each child. , really attentive. I like this hotel very much and recommend staying here.
