An Enjoyable return to the Voco Oxford Thames
Enjoyed our most recent visit to Voco Oxford Thames. Looked after by all team members we engaged with throughout trust day. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed our time in the lounge and bar areas. Breakfast runs smoothly and we sat down before 9 am so the restaurant was relatively quiet. We use the 3A bus service to get in and out of the city, which worked very well for us. Thank you for looking after us during our time at the Voco Oxford Thames.

Stayed for 1 night. First time we had been to Oxford. We got a taxi into the city but a bus is easy enough too. The hotel was charming and staff friendly. The pool and spa were very nice. Our room was very big and had a patio overlooking the green. Wonderful stay

Fab Hotel
The hotel was fantastic, the room clean with a very comfortable bed, all facilities in bedroom hair dryer, tea making and toiletries, all the staff very friendly and polite especially Kayley at check in and out and a special shout out to Nat who was friendly, informative and nothing was to much bother Only slight downside had a bar meal on the Friday night starters came out at different times mine was eaten before my wife’s came out and the pizza was burnt on the bottom
