On arrival we were ready to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary with a good meal. This was not to be! The service was at best slow. We were not kept informed as to what th problems were until the end of the meal - which was 2hour 30 mi utes later! We were ignored by the waiting staff when trying to find out the delay. The waiting staff spent more time talking to each other and not keeping us informed. They seemed in experienced regarding the food and wine menu and we ended up going to the bar to get our drinks as they seemed unable to.

Mia F. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We recently stayed at the Mercure and left feeling disappointed. While the hotel itself is nice, the overall experience was frustrating. We were grateful for an early check-in after a long journey, but it felt less like hospitality and more like convenience for the hotel, especially since the room was ready. More surprisingly, there are no elevators. While that’s manageable for some, it was a major issue for us as we had to haul six bags up two flights of stairs upon arrival and departure. Staff saw us struggling and never offered to help—a small gesture that would have made a big difference. The room issues continued inside. The wifi and TV never worked, and the bathtub was not clean. We also ordered a pizza from the restaurant, and it tasted like cardboard. To be fair, the server was incredibly kind and warned us about a delay due to an event, but the food was still a huge letdown when it finally arrived. The only real positive is the location, which is convenient for walking and catching the bus. However, based on this experience, I wouldn’t stay here again and can’t recommend it right now.

I stayed only one night, for not even 12 hours total. But the room was well-appointed and cozy, and the delicious food was nourishing after a long day of travel and work. Thank you!

We stayed 1 night in this hotel. The rooms were clean and the bed very comfortable. The staff were friendly. Lots of choice for the breakfast. I would say it was just a bit far out of the centre of Oxford for us.

Dear Lisa, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your clean and comfortable room, friendly service and wide breakfast selection. We appreciate your comment regarding our location and understand that it may feel a little further from the city centre. We hope to welcome you back again. Kind regards, Thiru

Housekeeping was a big disappointment, coffee saucer was kept for days, only bed sheets thrown back, rooms and floors not cleaned! I was surprised to witness this service from a well known name such as Accor. Third night only extreme hot water was available in bathroom, couldn’t use the shower that night.

Dear Lubna, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the housekeeping service fell below expectations during your stay. The concerns regarding the room cleaning and bathroom facilities are disappointing and certainly not the standard we aim to provide.

Kian S. C. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very disappointing 3-night stay at Mercure Oxford Hawkwell House. We had problems with the room almost every day. First, the bathroom sink was completely blocked and unusable. Reception initially told me maintenance would take about an hour, I explained I couldn’t even brush my teeth and needed to leave for a conference, then only the maintenance team presented. The next day, we found bugs and a spider in the room and realised the roof window/skylight had been left open. The closing mechanism was faulty and smoke actually came out when I tried to close it. I reported this immediately, but after waiting almost an hour, nobody came. When I went to reception myself, I was told all the maintenance staff were in a meeting. This was unbelievable considering there was smoke from the mechanism and insects continuing to enter the room. After repeatedly pushing for help, someone finally came and confirmed the motor was faulty and could not be repaired that day. I had to ask them to manually close the window. Later that night, there was no water supply to the toilet. Reception eventually told me the technician had forgotten to turn the valve back on after servicing, and I had to wait another 15–20 minutes for the water supply to recover. A blocked sink, bugs, a broken skylight producing smoke, very slow maintenance response, and then no toilet water — all within a 3-night stay. Technical problems can happen, but the repeated failures and poor follow-up were unacceptable. For a Mercure hotel, I expected much better. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this hotel.

Dear Kian, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are very sorry that your three-night stay was affected by repeated issues with the bathroom, skylight, insects and water supply. We also apologise for the delays in responding to your requests and for the inconvenience and frustration this caused. We fully understand your disappointment, particularly as these issues occurred throughout your stay. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams so that the maintenance response and follow-up can be reviewed and improved. Kind regards, Thiru

Very professional, lovely place, food excellent. The only criticism is that the room doors are fitted with a perco door closer, and that ment that all the doors slam shut . This kept us awake most of the night.

On our first night the food was very good but it was disappointing that no dessert menu was available. On the second night the food was also good but on the third night, the dining room a. half of the bar were closed, leaving only a choice of three tables. When the food was served (the Sunday roast) we were extremely disappointed that the food was almost cold a. the chicken was dried up, tough a. inedible. It had to be returned a. no substitute was offered apart from a dessert, which we declined. In fairness, we were refunded for one meal. On the plus side, we were impressed with the way the reception staff helped us to organise the return of an item we dropped outside the building as we were leaving.

Dear John, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food on your first two evenings a. appreciated the helpfulness of our reception team. We are, however, very sorry that your third evening was disappointing, particularly with the limited dining space a. the quality a. temperature of your Sunday roast. We appreciate your understanding a. are glad that our team was able to assist with the return of your belongings. Your comments regarding the dining experience have been shared with the relevant team for review. Kind regards, Thiru

We stayed with our two dogs for an overnight stay in Oxford. Super friendly staff gave us a warm welcome. Room was spacious and clean and we appreciated the slightly quieter location just aside from the main hotel block. Free parking was included which was part of the reason we chose this hotel. Oxford is in walking distance (about 40 mins) but we caught the bus which was really easy from just down the road with regular buses every 10 mins. (Nb you cant take a car into the centre of oxford). Just a warning if you are travelling with dogs, I hear Mecure are changing their pet policy which will limit room availability and increase the price dramatically... worth checking out in advance if you are planning to pay on arrival so you dont have a nasty surprise.

Dear Kirsty, Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear that you and your dogs enjoyed your stay, our welcoming team, spacious room, peaceful location, and convenient free parking. It is also wonderful to know that you enjoyed the riverside walk and easy bus access into Oxford. We appreciate your comments regarding pet policy and recommend that guests check the latest arrangements before booking. We hope to welcome you all back again soon. Kind regards, Thiru

Elizabeth H. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

I would rather this remain private, as I like this hotel. It's in a nice location, the staff are helpful and it is great to have parking. However, I was disappointed with this stay. We had 3 rooms. The King Room (110) smells of damp. The window sill was dirty. The tea and coffee provisions were sparse. The bathroom is looking very "tired", with mould around the door. Noisy hoovering began outside the door before 8am. The small double had not been cleaned - there was half empty carton of milk in the fridge. Also it was a disabled room (room 109) (we were not told), so the shower was not really suitable. In fairness, my daughter was moved to a different room upstairs next to the lift. Bathroom tired looking. No water provided. And she was woken at 6:30am by the laundry room next to her room. I've stayed with you often on my trips to Oxford and frequently recommended the hotel to others. I really hope they have a better experience than we did this time. We paid nearly £1000 for 3 rooms for 2 nights - they should at least be clean and we should not be woken up early in the morning by cleaners.

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoy our location, helpful team, and convenient parking, and we truly appreciate your continued support and recommendations. We are very sorry that this stay did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding room cleanliness, maintenance, room allocation, and early morning noise have been shared with the relevant teams for immediate review. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in the hotel during a future visit. Kind regards, Thiru
