The Tree Hotel is a hidden gem in a quiet, tree-lined suburban street but is less than 10 minutes by car from the centre of Oxford. We stayed for 4 nights and we were charmed by its ambiance and the attentive, courteous staff. It’s an old English pub, with about a dozen rooms upstairs. It also has a classy Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant which serves excellent food. They will deliver it to your room at no extra cost, should you wish. The room was spacious, with plenty of storage space. The en-suite bathroom was modern and clean with plenty of water pressure. Sure, the floorboards occasionally creaked, and the carpet was a bit worn in places, but overall it was very comfortable and clean.
We opted for the extra-cost breakfast option and it provided us with a selection of cereal, yogurt, juice, croissants, and a choice of eggs cooked in various ways with all the usual accompaniments. My wife and I requested some alterations that were not on the menu which were cheerfully accommodated with no fuss.
They have a free car park with plenty of spaces. It was quiet at night so we had no trouble sleeping with the window open, an unfortunate necessity in the English summertime when there’s no air conditioning. The hotel provided a fan in the room which helped a bit.
The WiFi was fast and mostly reliable (there was a 30-minute outage one night).
The overall ambiance of the hotel is one of calm efficiency with friendly staff willing to attend to the needs of their guests.
