About the Hotel

Church Way, Iffley Village, Oxford, United Kingdom, OX4 4DZ

Mercure Oxford Hawkwell House Hotel, a picturesque four-star hotel, occupies three buildings including two 19th century manor houses bursting with character, set within 1 hectares of mature private grounds and lawns in the Iffley Village, well-known for its historic Norman Church dating back to 12th century.

Comfortable Stylish Rooms

All rooms at the Mercure Oxford Hawkwell House offer unique vintage-inspired decor, Wi-Fi, and a rainfall shower. You will also find a flat screen TV with Freeview, a mini fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary bottled water.

Diverse Dining Options

Guests may eat breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner in either the lounge bar or in the large, modern restaurant, a multi-purpose space filled with light beneath a huge glass roof. The hotel features a restaurant named in honour of the famous explorer, Frank's at Hawkwell House, which serves continental or cooked breakfast as well as a locally inspired lunch and dinner menu.

Stylish Historic Setting

This newly refurbished hotel takes design inspiration from Oxford-style vintage fashion with the iconic brogue and collar represented stylishly throughout. Hawkwell House and its grounds offers one of Oxford's most picture perfect settings, while the terrace provides an idyllic spot for al fresco dining.

Prime Oxford Location

After a very long day, the hotel rooms helped me relax with their spacious layout and very comfy beds. The rooms were decent-sized, clean, had good lighting options, and were nicely decorated. However, the hotel seemed extremely busy. Despite this, it offered a decent size, clean rooms with good lighting options and nice decorations.

Service

The staff informed me about basic things like how to navigate the village or reach the airport. They were not very helpful initially, signaled by one staff member wearing fingerless gloves, but eventually promised to address maintenance issues promptly.

Location

The hotel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, not far from the university. While it's not suitable for those without a car due to the distance to town, walking along the pretty river Thames route can be enjoyable.

Dining

The dining experience had good options, but there were instances of running out of plates and delays in serving hot food, especially during busy times like a wedding party.
