The staff were excellent, all being friendly and efficient except for the one member of staff who greeted us when we arrived around 9.30pm. He was outside vaping I think, and was rather boorish and unhelpful. He was however, the only staff member like that so a poor initial impression was very much corrected the following day. The room was cold on arrival (our stay was late November) as they had not put the heating on in the room, but when mentioned to the receptionist when we left, she was clearly receptive to knowing and appeared tor make a note. Breakfast was excellent and we also had dinner one evening which was good. Would stay again if in that area.

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!
