The soundproofing was very poor at night. Walking around upstairs was very loud and creaking. Didn't sleep well. The parking lot is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Stayed there for several nights. The room was very comfortable and clean. I especially liked the breakfast and very friendly staff. Plus, the location is great for seeing Oxford.

We had an overall good stay at The Head of the River. We were in walking distance to landmarks of interest and there was a lovely coffee shop across the street. The breakfast was included and was good and the staff were friendly. Overall cleanliness of the room was not up to our standards and the first evening we were there it was quite noisy. Would probably look into other options before returning.

Great location. Walking distance from train. Room on top floor had great views of the river.

Lovely view from our ridiculously tiny room-barely room to walk around the bed, no space for luggage or unpacked clothes, no desk or flat surface, tiny bathroom, extremely noisy-a very loud event underneath our window went on late into night and next night it was traffic on the street, very narrow flights of steps to reach our room. Required the white noise from the fan to sleep

Great people and good food. Terrible cleanliness standards though, there was a mouse in the restaurant!

Good rooms, good food, good beer. Requirement for pay extra for checking in at 1 instead of 3 not good.

We were very impressed with the hotel. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was amazing! Breakfast was provided and it
was delicious. We definitely would like to come back again.
All staff members were friendly and welcoming and I would recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Close to City Centre and on site pleasant pub, restaurant right at the side of the river. Quirky and comfortable room with very good tea and coffee and chocolates.
