Garsington Vacation Rentals

"This was a great hotel, and the staff were very lovely. The only issue was the very loud construction that began early in the m"

"parking was abit expensive, good location room was abit small"

"When we checked in, we paid for three days of parking at £5 per day. The reception said their printer wasn’t working so they couldn’t give us a receipt. Then when we went to register the car plate, we were told that we didn’t need to enter the registration number. However, now I have received a parking fine notice."

"This is our 3rd stay at the Store in the past 7 months and won’t be our last. We love staying at this central, modern and well designed hotel. It has the right amount of luxury and the staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The rooms do vary but we have begun to become familiar with some of the rooms. They have a very good breakfast with some continental items but you may also order from the à la carte menu. We chose not to include breakfast this time only because we eat too much when we do! We also booked the complimentary 1 hour in the thermal suite which my husband throughly enjoys. They also have additional paid spa services you could book which I’m sure are lovely but we haven’t had an opportunity to do so yet. The hotel is centrally located right on Broad Street but the windows to the rooms are very well soundproofed so I was never bothered by any street noise but on occasion in the mid morning I would hear footsteps from the room above us (they sounded like heavy footed walkers!). Do note that you can’t drive up to the hotel doors but you can stop your car a 2 minute walk away and they will come help you with your luggage if you need it. Also note that they don’t have parking, but there is a car park a 5 minute walk away. It’s expensive (£35-40 per 24 hrs) so do factor that in when you travel to Oxford (as I believe most hotels don’t have parking). The hotel also has a lovely (small) rooftop Terrace bar which is great on nice days. You can sit outside or inside "

"Great location for travel to central Oxford. "

"The hotel is located within easy walking distance of public transport. The room was comfortable and generally calm. Reception staff and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful. The gym is really excellent. Certainly one of the best I have used, well provisioned with excellent equipment, water, apples (a really nice touch) and towels. The only complaint is that we had to ask for the room to be 'refreshed'. "

"The property was clean but scruffy. A bit run down. The room was basic and comfortable. Bed comfortable. The bathroom was too small. My husband is 6ft 2. He struggled to sit on the toilet. Knees against the shower screen. The shower wasn't enclosed enough, the water leaked on the floor. The breakfast was good, basic cooked and continental. We weren't aware of the parking at the back of the property but we managed to squeeze into a parking space at the front. The property is 25/30 min walk to Oxford city centre. Which suited us."

"We had a really lovely spacious room with a little patio and outdoor seating. The bed was very comfortable, lovely clean bedding, and the bathroom was spotless. Very nice toiletries. We decided to have dinner at the last minute which was really very nice. Nice river walk into the centre of Oxford rather than walking along the main road. The only negative was having to pay £25 for parking! "

"Great location. Hotel looks new, everything clean, tidy and smart. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice - hot and cold. Next to Kassam Football Stadium and Hollywood Bowl, plus Frankie & Bennys. Quite busy whilst the football was on, but generally quiet location."
