Tree Hotel at Iffley

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.

We had four primary criteria when looking for a place to stay in Oxford: Price was admittedly first on the list, second was free on-site parking for the car, third was access to busses into the city; fourth was breakfast included in the price. The Tree Hotel delivered on all of these plus a few more. However, it is really just one step above a hostel (which was fine for us) but would be disappointing for someone looking for refined comfort. Key pluses: the hotel and area felt safe. We never worried for our car or felt uncomfortable walking through the neighbourhood. Iffley looks and feels like the quaint English village is us. The Bangladeshi-Indian restaurant. This is the one area of the building that looks and feels well kept. It is bright, clean and clean--important for a restaurant. The "Kurma" is excellent, and the "Patia" ... we had to go back a second night so I could have it again. I wish they bottled it! The room was tidied every day with bottled water and T&C replenished. The negatives: it is a hotel very much in need of a handyman to look after loose and missing fittings, mouldings, carpentry, plumbing etc. The staff were a mixed bag. Some were excellent and very helpful and accommodating, others not so much. Some left you feeling that the primary focus was about controlling costs (OK, fair enough). Takeaway: We would stay again.

The room smelt of dampness which I removed by airing the place. Hotel and the rooms require renovation. Staff seem standoffish but are happy to help when asked. Easy parking and good location for Oxford and surroundings.

We paid over £100 I expected a bed not to feel the springs coming through. The staff were friendly, but it was like walking into faulty towers in the 1970’s There was holes in the net curtains, the ceiling wallpaper was taped up , the moved as you twisted it. The only thing that was good was the breakfast. The turkey rashers and chicken sausages were nice! And it was free parking.

Great hotel about ten minutes drive from Oxford city centre. Parking is free and breakfast is included too. Nice spacious, clean room and very helpful staff- would definitely stay here again!

Great hotel with nice bar serving Butcombe beer and an Indian restuarant delicious food , great wine £20. Very handy for proximity to Thames path. Even breakfast quite ok. Nice big bedrooms.

This hotel is not as bad as many reviews make it out to be. Interior is shabby and in need of a refit, there are stains on the walls and ceilings and the heating is useless. However, the staff are friendly, the bed was warm and comfy (and the bedding was spotless), the room was clean and there was plenty of hot water and car parking. The breakfast was limited (cereal and various things on toast) but the food was served hot and the coffee is decent. Whilst i would hesitate to describe this hotel as good value, it is one of the cheapest options in oxford and is perfectly adequate as an overnight crash pad, at least provided the weather is warm.

If you don't mind old standard, there is a bit of a charm to it. It is combined with a pub, including outdoor tables in a garden like environment giving it a touch of a hostel feeling

Struttura dotata di parcheggio, con bar e ristorante annesso. A pochi passi dal Tamigi. Personale disponibile e cortese. Buona colazione

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.

Our welcome was lovely, friendly owner. Beautiful room,very clean and comfortable. Big clean bathroom, very comfortable beds and lovely breakfast the next morning. Will definitely be coming again

Very clean room but the facilities were very dated. Mattress needs to be replaced and a refurbishment is overdue.

This was not an inexpensive hotel. My room was a single bed, tiny only a small space between it and the dressing table. The shower didnt work properly, i needed a vice like grip to turn the handle. Paint was peeling off the window frames and the facilities were from the 60's Very poor for the price

Pleasant welcome on arrival with offer of complimentary breakfast but was between 0830 and 0930 only and so no use as has to be at a conference. Single room (not sure what other rooms are like) was cold with a small oil heater. Room was cold in the morning with no central heating at 0700 and water was too cold to shower at that time (now have a sore throat). Mould on all the windows and damp (this is an old building but could clean this up). Not healthy to stay in for longer periods and asthmatics will be troubled. The pic of the walk in cupboard smelt so damp that best kept the door closed. There was a dead wasp on my pillow, brushed onto the floor (prob still there in front of window. Sheets seemed clean. Otherwise location to get into Oxford was good, a 6 minute walk then 15 minute bus journey. I would not stay again and would have asked for a refund as now unwell with a cold and sore throat from the room and mould.

The propert was tired and needed general updating, it was not the cleanest hence a little grubby. Bed and bedlinen was ckean and comfortable bed. We would not stay again.

Shabby. Inadequate effort to even make the place presentable. Overall give an impression of untidy and unclean. Staff not the most helpful and pleasant.

From check-in to leaving the staff were incredibly rude with one-word grunts from them. The fire alarm went off at 7 am and I went downstairs to check whether it was genuine or not - and was ignored. Breakfast was at 8.30 and I needed to leave by 8 am so no alternative was offered. The room was worn and dirty with almost threadbare carpet, patched up wallpaper and out-of-the-ark fittings. The picture below was the level of dirt in the bathroom. This is the only hotel I've ever stayed in where I felt I needed to check the state of the sheets and really couldn't face using the shower. The room lock was almost inoperable and I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was there. DO NOT believe any of the good reviews and don't waste your money staying here. It was absolutely terrible and the staff were unbelievably rude.

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.

Mattress on the bed should have been replaced a long long time ago, bathroom window frames covered in mould, paper peeling off the ceiling. Shower head leaked water all over had to tighten the fittings by hand hot water was only like warm carpets are old and thread bare. Only Indian food available in the restaurant no other choices. Best advice avoid.

After seeing some of the negative reviews I was a bit nervous, since we were here for a wedding. But if you go in knowing the score (some pretty dated rooms, above a loud pub) then it's a great deal for the price! Room was big and comfortable. But it definitely wasn't clean or modern, and the bathroom was a bit on the gross side. Breakfast was very nice and the staff very friendly.

Whilst the building and situation were nice, unfortunately it is need of updating! Sheets clean but beds hard. Carpet and decor need refurbishing. Wallpaper hanging off of bathroom ceiling and whilst breakfast ok, not a great deal to choose from.

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.

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.

Young girl behind the bar was friendly but the owner was very rude to her and us! All he wanted to do was swipe our credit card as soon as possible and had very limited English vocabulary.

Unfortunate the room was flooded and the staff told me she had phoned and emailed to cancel my booking. I had set off from Dorset so didn't get my email. I had no missed calls. On arrival was told i had no room. The receptionist did offer and try finding me another B&B nearby. But i ended up sorting this myself. Not very impressed. Someone could have phoned me to say the room wasn't available - finding out on arrival after a 3hr drive wasn't how i had planned my day.

needs a bit of TLC to the rooms and hotel Staff not very helpful or friendly at breakfast none really spoke to us and we werent even sure if we could get a cooked breakfast or not until we were silently handed a bit of paper with the choices!

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.

Very quiet and beautiful. Bus stop was a little far...
