Quiet liocation with parking, near to river paths. Very tired decor ( like stepping back in time to old fashioned house hotel) but our room was clean & comfortable with a settee in the bay window. Modern shower room with toilet / washbasin off to the side. Indian restaurant food & service very good. Breakfast included, good value break. 1/2hr walk to Oxford centre along lovely river paths.

Like: Indian food was delicious. Shower was perfect. Great quiet area with lovely walk-about to see > the locks Area Prince of Wales restaurant was also delicious Not: Staff not enthusiastic about being there. Felt like I was work for them. Except the lady staff > she was good. Had that family ownership and I have to be here because this is family feel. Breakfast included was nice, but hope the cook is not absent, then limited options. Rooms were rough > needs some upkeep Some idiot lives in the area with a loud motorcycle and works late, but this probably just happened to be our luck. Overall > it is a place to stay and as long as you are not fussy then you are good to go.

Lovely stay - Excellent Indian Resturant

Convenient for our purposes. Room No:-5 - very spacious and clean. Bed matress nice and firm, we slept well. Shower water pressure disappointing. The room and hotel overall is rather dated and tired though still good enough for a night or two. The Bar/Pub very welcoming. Friendly staff and clientel. We all enjoyed our meal at the Indian resturant, recommended. Full English breakfast is a No No. tasteless chicken sausages, unidentified slice of something pretending to be bacon.. Go for Poached eggs on toast.. All in All a very nice stay and we would return, and have poached eggs on toast for breakfast.

Very Average

Very average this was obviously a very nice building at one stage but has been clearly neglected for many years. Up the rickety stairs the We were quite shocked on entering the room the bed was a small double, There was a kettle, tea coffee etc provided in the room there's also a hair dryer. I think they do attempt to clean the place but only where you can see so for example open the bathroom cabinet certainly in room 3 you will now find a finger mark where I indented the dust. Not a very good night sleep on very lumpy tiny little bed, the one plus point very quiet. Breakfast the next morning. There was some bowls on one table with small packets of cereal for me to choose from the gentleman at the bar asked me if I want to tea / coffee and produced a cup of coffee that had come from a machine the beans I think were old the coffee at a very dirty taste. Breakfast you can have a fry up however it was Turkey rashes instead of bacon and Turkey sausages instead of pork or beef, it is very difficult not to be judgmental, but I would guess that the menu is Halal. I settled for avocado and poached egg on toast which in fairness was very nice and very well presented. Checkout was easy you simply place your key in a box by the front door., the hotel is only about 10 minute drive from the centre of Oxford so it's ideally located if you're attending an event in Oxford and it is quite quiet however I think this hotel needs significant money spent on it if it is to survive not recommended

The hotel is incredibly dated and needs some decent maintenance. The furniture and fittings are all very old and tired. The room was incredibly cold - we had a triple room and needed to sleep under both duvets and wear our jumpers in bed to keep warm. The walk in shower was lovely, good water pressure and a great size, but could have done with a soap dish and somewhere to hang our towels. There was no toilet roll holder and the toilet seat was broken. There was a kettle and free drinks, milk and biscuits in the room but the kettle leaked. Breakfast wasn’t bad; we chose beans on toast but the beans didn’t even cover one slice of toast which was disappointing. The staff were all very sweet. We also appreciated the very large car park, which was free, so there was no problem parking.

Time to spend some money, guys

The Tree has always been a cheaper place to stay. But the time has come when they have to spend some proper money on improving the accommodation. The lock on my bathroom was completely broken and I ended up getting locked in. I had to climb onto the toilet and shout through a narrow window to ask a stranger to notify management. A staff member let me out after 15 mins and I explained that the lock needed a proper repair but I don't think he understood as he just pieced the lock back together again. It is a safety hazard to have people unable to leave rooms and not fix the problem. The room was cold. I resent paying £80/night for a room that doesn't have basic functionality. But no manager was available to discuss this concern. It's a real shame as the food in the restaurant is lovely. But these rooms could be the undoing of this place.

No toilet roll holder. No shower gel in dispenser. No working bulb in bedside lamp or bathroom mirror. No working hairdryer or shaving socket. No spare blanket. No herbal teas. Shower fell off wall when adjusting height, had zero pressure we had to wash in sink. No working light in corridor making it difficult at night. Extremely tacky and dated decor. Place seemed to be falling apart. Breakfast consisted of children's cereal boxes and reconstituted juice. Again, no selection of herbal teas. Cooked menu was cold white toast no choice of bread. Cold, hard poached eggs and a small amount of avocado on one slice. Waitress surly to the point of tufe. Other staff did not acknowledge us. No info on parking in Oxford or bus routes, given we were some distance from the centre. An utter waste of money. I honestly don't know how this Hotel can remain in business.

Quiet and comfortable: Great value for money

The Tree Hotel is a hidden gem in a quiet, tree-lined suburban street but is less than 10 minutes by car from the centre of Oxford. We stayed for 4 nights and we were charmed by its ambiance and the attentive, courteous staff. It’s an old English pub, with about a dozen rooms upstairs. It also has a classy Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant which serves excellent food. They will deliver it to your room at no extra cost, should you wish. The room was spacious, with plenty of storage space. The en-suite bathroom was modern and clean with plenty of water pressure. Sure, the floorboards occasionally creaked, and the carpet was a bit worn in places, but overall it was very comfortable and clean. We opted for the extra-cost breakfast option and it provided us with a selection of cereal, yogurt, juice, croissants, and a choice of eggs cooked in various ways with all the usual accompaniments. My wife and I requested some alterations that were not on the menu which were cheerfully accommodated with no fuss. They have a free car park with plenty of spaces. It was quiet at night so we had no trouble sleeping with the window open, an unfortunate necessity in the English summertime when there’s no air conditioning. The hotel provided a fan in the room which helped a bit. The WiFi was fast and mostly reliable (there was a 30-minute outage one night). The overall ambiance of the hotel is one of calm efficiency with friendly staff willing to attend to the needs of their guests.

Terrible rooms - filthy, threadbare carpets, mould on walls, curtains, rotted window frames, unclean bathroom, no shower flow and gross ‘stuff’ around cubicle. The images are not what the property looks like now. Never walk barefoot in the rooms or bathroom. Appalling lack of care to the building. Breakfast was not very welcoming. Not the fault of the young lady single handed handing the dining room and dealing with very unhappy customers alone. At no point is is made clear that ‘full English’ is actually Turkey bacon and chicken sausages - there is no traditional bacon, sausages or black pudding. You can hear the occupants from other rooms as if they are in your room. The accommodation is NOT suitable with anyone with mobility issues. Everything was ‘sticky’. As a local pub it seemed very popular but only for drinks. The previous reputation for excellent Indian food is gone - however the food was just fine from the restaurant’ menu. It feels like they are just trying to make money by overcharging non locals. Garden full of broken furniture - but the glasses were all cleared quickly. Do not pay until you have seen the room. If you do book - Do not choose ‘non refundable’ option. The management do not see any issues with their standards and will not refund and monies.

Property was well based for exploring Oxford - I recommened walking up the Thames from Iffley Lock, it was a lovely experience. Easy to get to/from by bus as well (5/10 min walk to the bus stop). Hotel itself could do with a bit of TLC -the decor in our room was quite dated with some tears in the curtain. I was frightened to touch the wardrobe as it was leaning so much! Bathroom was nice and modern and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was basic - an odd choice of chicken sausage and turkey rasher on the full English!

On the internet it looks good when you see it it’s run down dirty disgusting soiled ripped curtains stained bedroom wall. Bathroom has no airflow and mould on the ceiling. The basin in the bathroom the water doesn’t drain. The sockets need to be safety checked they make the plugs heat up. The kettle lid was not sitting properly when it’s closed that’s dangerous.

Went for a 1 night stay for a gig at the O2 Academy, so just needed somewhere to sleep the night. Parking was easy and spacious, lower level was the pub and reateraunt and the staff also handle the hotel. Had to go to the bar to check in but I got my keys easily enough. Room itself was a little rough around the edges but ultimately it was just cosmetic stuff like some marks in the wall from furniture scrapes it looked like. The actual room itself was nice enough, bed was well made, comfy and above all, clean. Saw some complains about cleanliness on here however for my stay it wasn't bad at all - sure the paint on the windows was a bit worn, there was a bit of peeling on the ceiling paint in the bathroom and otherwise just a bit in need of TLC but otherwise it wasn't nearly as bad as some make it out. Plenty of tea and coffee supplied as well as water bottles, bed was clean and the bathroom was clean as well. Some say shower pressure is bad but in my experience also, it was more than sufficient - its no power shower but it's plenty for a wash. Breakfast was included too and while the portion was a little small, it was well cooked and very tasty - and free! All in all, for a one night gig stay this was a perfect cosy little room and I have no real complaints at all. Rough around the edges in appearance maybe, but functionally a very clean, comfy room.

We booked/paid for a double room. Unfortunately, we were given a very small, run down, moldy room (room #3) which, according to the website photos was a single room. The mattress was so beat up, you could slip off the edge. The bed was cramped into one corner, access from one side only. Very uncomfortable. I brought it to the attention of the owner the next day and under duress and strong suggestion from me, he gave me a discount on the room. He tried to convince me it was a “small” double, no way, but the condition alone was deplorable. Speaking to another couple, they had a beautiful room with what they said was a recently renovated bathroom. Thankfully, we were only there for one night.
