For relaxation, a subterranean spa features treatment rooms, a steam room, sauna, and gym, while the ground-floor bar and a popular rooftop bar provide delightful settings for drinks with panoramic city views.

Nicole made our visit truly memorable with her warm, attentive service and genuine hospitality. The fish and chips were absolutely outstanding, and the gin selection was exceptional, making for a wonderful dining experience. Jesus extended heartfelt hospitality and welcomed us as if we were family, which made us feel right at home. Every detail reflected outstanding customer service and a passion for creating an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this place and look forward to returning on our next visit!
We had interconnecting rooms, which were incredible – beautifully designed and ideal for a family stay. Our little ones especially loved the thoughtful touches like the mini gowns, slippers, and chocolates, which made them feel extra special.
The location is perfect for exploring Oxford – we enjoyed wandering around the nearby shops and spent a lovely afternoon at the Natural History Museum, which is just a short walk away.
We had dinner booked at Treadwell, and the experience was outstanding. The staff could not have done more for us. Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The children were happily entertained drawing pictures inspired by the beautiful artwork on the walls, giving us a chance to relax and enjoy our meal. I’m still dreaming of the crab tacos, and my husband declared it the best burger he’s ever had!
As frequent travellers who stay in a lot of city hotels, I can be quite particular about bed comfort – but The Store gets a solid 10/10. We all slept brilliantly. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive, with both buffet and à la carte options. The kids loved being able to choose their favourites, and once again, the staff were wonderfully attentive and kind.
Thank you so much for such a memorable stay. We’ll definitely be back – and we’re already recommending The Store to all our friends and family.
Wife also used the spa facilities, and was also excellent
The hotel is beautifully styled with so much character and attention to detail. The room was immaculate, and the personalised touches and little comments from the team made us feel truly special.
Every meal was delicious, and the service throughout was faultless.
The rooftop bar is a fantastic space, whether you want to relax inside or enjoy the view outside.
An exceptional stay, I can’t wait to return
I can’t speak highly enough of the staff !
The rooftop bar was lovely & excellent service, drinks & food.
Nothing too much trouble.
Devika checked us out & was so efficient & helpful & lovely with it !
The lady who checked us in was also very efficient & friendly.
Our room was very comfortable & beautifully decorated & immaculately clean.
Only reason I gave 4 stars for the room is that the shower door didn’t close properly & we were above the automatic doors in reception & could hear them everytime they opened but apart from that, it was excellent!
Would definitely stay here again !
Many thanks to all
