Top Carfax Tower Hotel Reviews

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect Oxford hotel with the best service and a wonderful restaurant Highly recommended"

voco Oxford Spires by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lindo hotel muy bien ubicado excelente setvicio"

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were extra helpful and pleasant"

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for a very reasonably priced hotel right in the centre of Oxford just 2 mins from Carfax. The room was excellent and I hear that there even better rooms at the top of the property - presumably for an additional cost. No restaurant but an arrangement with the one next door for a reduction of their charges."

The Buttery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you have no mobility issues (there are many steps), but even then, I made it with assistance of darling staff, and my partner. The Buttery is on Broad St pedestrian street, surrounded by great restaurants and a super art supply shop. Real Italian 3 doors down, and next-door Greek breakfasts accept 10% for Buttery patrons. Ashmolean and Randolph Hotel just a couple of minutes and a Tesco as well. Debenhams on the corner. Perfect!"

The Bocardo Hotel

8/10 Good

"Muy cerca de todo. La habitación bien, es funcional a un par de dias."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Car parking extremely limited and tight spaces. Plus it’s in the congestion charging zone which should have been highlighted. Staff didn’t stow bags securely before check in. Nice rooms, clean and good amenities."
