No restaurant service no forward knowledge given
We arrived Sunday afternoon dinner in the restaurant closed at 8pm so we went to the bar 7.20ish for a drink and meal only to be told the restaurant was shut due to it being a quiet evening this meant driving 7 miles to find somewhere to eat When I said we should have been informed of this when we checked in the receptionist advised she hadn’t known herself We went for breakfast cold scrambled eggs dried up bacon aand a coffee machine not working did not improve my mood On check out I asked to speak to a manager or in charge member of staff the receptionist enquired why and I explained the above. She then told me it was planned maintenance and there was a sign on reception . If I’d asked I would have been told this I now have been told 2 different reasons for the restaurant being closed If this was planned then I feel this information should have been emailed to me so we could have either brought cold snacks or more likely changed our booking I was left with the impression that it was our fault and we should have understood these things happen Felt really let down with the service we were given and how this matter was handled

Location was spot on
The hotel was a perfect location and the room was clean & spacious. Great parking and easy to find. The food at the hotel was ok, my fish and chips was sadly lacking fish & a taste. However my better half had pork shoulder that she really enjoyed. My own problem was the doors to the room never cut out any noise. The door slamming though out the night in the opposite room, over & over again. The loud talking in the corridor outside our room well into the early hours.

Not bad but not recommended
Just one night but no room for dinner. Carpets in corridors worn. Our rooms were a long way from reception and lots of stairs & no lift.

Great base from which to experience Oxford
We loved the Holt and will certainly be back. The beds are bit firmer than we like, but that's a matter of taste. Everything else was picture perfect - Samuel behind the bar is knowledgeable and friendly, and the restaurant food is exquisite!

6/10 Good

Staff lovely but way overpriced. Paid £180 for an incredibly tiny room which was hot & stuffy & had no air con. The road outside was noisy all night. The hotel was fully booked so couldn't move to another one or given an option for discount or anything.
