Top Museum of the History of Science Hotel Reviews

Cotswold Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay would recommend"

easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was very clean, modern and spacious, perfect for the three of us. We appreciated the supplied coffee pods and the apartment was well stocked with linens, towels, cleaning and bathroom supplies, clothes hangers etc. Having parking was a very nice feature (since the location isn’t that walkable to downtown Oxford, so having a car was necessary for us). The apartment is on the top (3rd) floor without a lift, so carrying up our luggage was good exercise! The location is a quiet residential neighborhood so we appreciated the peacefulness at night. Overall we thought the apartment was great value and very much suited our needs."

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay here. Very helpful staff, absolutely brilliant location right in the centre of Oxford. Extremely comfortable bed . Fab shower . !!!"

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"A very unique and lovely place to stay! Room was very clean and well appointed. We were able to easily walk to shops, pubs, and the University sites. Highly recommend!"

Royal Oxford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and helpful staff. Room perfect and clean had a good nights sleep"

The Buttery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in a front facing deluxe room which was very spacious and had everything I needed. The surprise addition of a small fridge in the room was great for me as it meant I could fill it with cold cans & nibbles, which made for a comfortable evening in after a long day out. I felt very secure as a female solo traveller & the offer from staff to help me with my luggage down the stairs was very welcome. The view from the large windows over Broad Street was superb especially in the morning as the sun came up. It’s a shame there isn’t a small table & chair in the window area as it was a lovely place to sit & watch the world go by."

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All round superb"

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

"My only issue was that the bathroom was not clean."
