I had a good stay at Voco Oxford Spires. The location by the Thames was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat just a short walk from the city center. The breakfast was really good, packed with fresh options and a great variety. However, I found the room lighting to be poor and some furnishings could use an upgrade, which slightly detracted from the overall experience.
Rooms

My room was spacious and clean, but it felt outdated with poor lighting and some dull furnishings. It lacked the charm I expected from the images shared by the hotel.

The hotel's location was ideal. It was set in a quiet area away from the bustle of the city, yet only a 15-minute scenic walk along the river to the center. Perfect for a leisurely exploration.

My stay at Voco Oxford Spires was quite the mixed experience. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and has a lovely location, making it easy to walk into Oxford, but the service and the value for money left something to be desired. While my room was comfortable, it didn't live up to the price tag, and the dining options were decent but a bit too expensive for what they offered.

I had a pleasant stay at Voco Oxford Spires, although there were a few hiccups along the way. The hotel is ideally located for exploring Oxford with a charming riverside walk. The staff were friendly and mostly efficient, but I did notice some service inconsistencies, particularly in the dining area. Overall, while I enjoyed my visit, I found certain aspects could improve, especially regarding food service and pricing clarity.

While the food quality was good overall, I found the dessert lacking compared to the rest of the meal. The pricing seemed inconsistent too, which was a bit frustrating.

My stay at Voco Oxford Spires was a mix of positives and a few frustrations. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the city center along the river. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when I had an issue with my first room. On the downside, I found some of the facilities needing a bit more attention, particularly with the air quality in the rooms. Overall, I left feeling reasonably refreshed yet unsure about a return visit due to a few shortcomings.
Rooms
6.0
The initial room was quite small and stuffy, with a bathroom that had unpleasant odours. However, after raising the issue, I was moved to a lovely spacious suite that made for a comfortable stay. It had a super king bed and a much better bathroom.
Service
8.0
The check-in was smooth, and the staff was generally friendly and attentive. I appreciated their quick response to my room change request. Although some of the dining services felt a bit rushed, overall, the staff went above and beyond.
Location

The hotel's location along the river was idyllic. It only took a short walk to get into the heart of Oxford, making it easy to explore the city. I enjoyed being able to park my car at the hotel as well.
Dining
7.0
While the food was generally good and well presented, I found the dining area lacked character, feeling more like a conference room than a restaurant. Breakfast was hearty but could have been served hotter.
Facilities
6.0
I enjoyed the use of the pool and jacuzzi, and the complimentary towels were a nice touch. However, I found the absence of shower gel and shampoo in the locker rooms to be lacking. The pool area was meant to be adults-only, but there were children present.
