"The fact that as a guest paying around £200 a night (which is a lot of money for the general facilities of the hotel) and then you arrive to find that you also have to pay for parking at £10 per day is appalling, and leaves a really bitter taste in your mouth as soon as you have arrived at the property. Needless to say it really tinted our whole stay and I won’t be recommending the hotel to anyone. If you value your hard earned money, don’t stay here."

Recent Reviews in Cowley

The Holt Hotel

The Holt Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice breakfast and a wonderful evening meal. Nice relaxed atmosphere in the bar and lounge area. Maybe one or two small bits of general upkeep would make it even better. Some of the rooms and hallways have clearly been renovated not too long ago and some haven't. Only a very short drive to a number of days outings and Heyford train station which can take you to Oxford."
