The River Hotel, Oxford

We stayed at this hotel practically by accident - we'd booked two nights at the Oxford Youth Hostel (which is about 100 yards away on the same road, right around the corner from Oxford Train Station) but due to the noise levels in the hostel (mix of noisy guests plus night time trains) impacting on Andrea's tinnitus, we were unable and unwilling to stay at the Hostel for a second night.  We'd noticed this hotel up the road, so looked them up on the internet and found they still had vacancies so we booked a room for our second night in Oxford.
We're VERY pleased we did!!!  It's a family run hotel in a Victorian house, and very comfortable, very quiet, friendly staff and a wonderful yummy breakfast!!!  The single room we had, had tea making facilities, private bathroom, TV and free wifi and the breakfast includes tea or coffee, fruit juice, cereals and as much of a cooked breakfast as you want.  AND it's only a 5 minute walk to the train station - I believe there's carparking available though (we don't have a car)
Their website is here River Hotel
It's ever so slightly off the beaten track, but we'd have no worries staying there again.
