The staff at this hotel are very friendly and helpful. We stayed In an old college room which although a little noisy at times was like a suite. The food was good in the restaurant. All in all a relaxing stay. I would recommend and will be going back. More

A really great place to hold a business meeting as I did today. Easily accessible from the Oxford ringroad, this lovely hotel comprises a range of barns with modern extensions very tastefully designed to compliment the look. Very attentive and helpful staff too. For me this is undoubtedly the best of the Four Pillars chain around the City. I shall... More

This was our second Xmas/new year's stay at this hotel. We upgraded to a connoisseur room which had more space. The overall experience was very good. Slight criticisms were; the hot breakfast buffet was dried and our table was overlooked when the cheese course was being served and we had coffee before it. This was during the New year's eve...

Beautiful hotel set in a beautiful location, if you want luxury go for a room in the college wing, although we didnt have one of these our room was large, comfortable and clean. We found all the staff friendly and helpful, the barmen were particularly attentive, remembering our room number and our choice of drinks. The only downside to this... More

I didn't expect the Four Pillars to be as big as it is - I'd seen a photo that suggested it was a barn with a car park outside, rather than a maze of conjoined ex-agricultural buildings. I was very impressed - the grounds are superb, a few minutes outside of the Oxford ring road, and there's a swimming pool,... More

This is the 2nd time I've stayed at this hotel and apart from some little hiccups with the service in the restaurant I would have given 5 stars. The hotel is both new and old with great character. Hotel was spotlessly clean, pool & gym was great. Food in the restaurant was superb when the correct dishes were served to... More

We stayed at this hotel in February 2011 and again on 28th January 2012. It is a good base from which to explore Oxford and is convenient for the Park and Ride. Lovely, welcoming reception area with a fire. We had requested a quiet room which they kindly gave us in Church House. Room size was fine with everything you... More

Lovely mid week stay here just after christmas. It was great value for money and it wasn't empty. Had to wait a little while for check out however. The only problem with this hotel was the bar staff. They were awfully rude, as we came up towards the bar it was as if my wife and I were interupting a... More

We have stayed at the Oxford Thames on two occasions when visiting Oxford. On both occasions we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay - loving the welcoming foyer with its open fires and candlelit tables. Enjoyed a bar snack here. On our first visit we were upgraded to the "College" rooms - a kind gesture to avoid us being disturbed by... More
