Lovely hotel. Staff helpful and friendly. Beautiful setting. Great breakfast. Bar and food prices a little steep, though food quality good Spa OK, but lacking jacuzzi and changing room a little 'leisure centre-esque' rather than premium spa.

The hotel is a bit far front the university, but there is a bus stop just outside the hotel so that is real it an issue, the hotel is lovely, the rooms are cozy, clean and comfortable and the staff friendly and efficient, the shower, Wifi and everything else was also good so if we ever go back to beautiful Oxford, we would definitely stay at the Vocco again.

Absolutely superb in every way; about 4th time we have stayed in 6-7 years, though several upgrades/refurbished areas apparent this visit. Lovely in every way and service excellent. The breakfast display and variety is even better, and the room/bed SO comfortable. The ONLY disappointment is now having to pay £10/night to park on site, especially when occupancy was not full and IHG Holiday Inn at Peartree roundabout charge £6 which location is more understandable to deter city visitors from leaving cars there to catch a bus into the centre (which Voco Thames overnight guests may choose to do but not casual 'scroungers' I would have hoped)

I moved here after my conference accommodations in the city turned out to be substandard. It’s a great little hotel. Very peaceful. Staff is mostly young, professional, warm. I didn’t have the opportunity to use the spa amenities. However, I had a great meal at the restaurant. My room was spacious, clean, well equipped. During non-rush-hour, it was about 15 British pounds to Uber into the city. I would definitely stay here again.
