Delicious Breakfast

I had an amazing breakfast experience at The Oakwood Hotel! The à la carte options were varied and the tea served with steamed milk was a good touch. It was a great way to start my day in a cozy atmosphere.

Charming Atmosphere

The overall ambiance of The Oakwood Hotel was charming and cozy, reminiscent of a 30s-40s hunting lodge. This unique atmosphere helped me relax after a long journey, making my stay truly enjoyable.
