Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with loads of character. Perfect location for exploring Oxford and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning."

Vanbrugh House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Decent continental breakfast including poached eggs. Really does need A/C for very warm nights (as per when we stayed). Fan was provided on request which was fine but it can be very warm if you can't open windows due to being at street level. Also the lack of a lift DOES need very clearly pointing out on the website(s). All in all a very nice stay though and a lovely room and staff. Terrific location."

Premier Inn Oxford City Centre - Westgate

10/10 Excellent

"We appreciated the location of this hotel. It was walking distance to all landmarks, convenient to the Danish Bakery across the street for breakfast and The Castle next door for pub style lunch or dinner. On our last day we just walked a few steps to the Airline Bus stop at Westgate and had an easy ride to Heathrow airport. The room was spacious with nice bed, shower and seating as well as mini-fridge and coffee maker. We'd stay here again!"

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was delightful. It was tastefully furnished and exceptionally cosy, especially given the cold weather. The dining room was beautiful with the walls covered in interesting art with comfortable seating and well spaced tables. Our room was smaller than the photos imply but the bed and furnishings were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and modern. Everything was impeccably clean every day of our 4 night stay with free water and home made biscuits delivered to our room every evening. The staff are exceptional from the chamber maids to the Restaurant and Reception. Everyone was very helpful. Breakfast is expensive at 30 pounds, but the Continental breakfast is a bargain. One issue might be the lack of an elevator, as the stairs to the rooms are a stone spiral staircase, but the staff delivers and picks up your luggage. There is a lovely large terrace in front of this picturesque hotel which was covered in wisteria during our stay, where you can have afternoon tea, cocktails and dinner. I would highly recommend this hotel, even though it is pricey, it is worth the splurge."

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

2/10 Terrible

"This hotel is sincerely overpriced and very underwhelming. I had a host of issues from start to finish and couldn't wait to leave. For £239 for one night and a supposed 4* rating I found nothing of that calibre anywhere. I booked a twin room expecting two separate single beds. It turned out to be two single beds pushed together with one huge duvet and no room to push the beds apart. I went to move the small table within the room and the underneath was dripping in an unknown sticky substance. I am immunocompromised so cleanliness is top priority. I called down to have the issue dealt with and a surly cleaner came with a cloth and half heartedly wiped it and left. The air con didn't work. My 18 degree room was stifling with no way to open a window. My view was scaffolding against brick walls. The freeview only had 24 channels (which sounds a lot but I travel with my Challenge TV obsessed son and he was most put out) After a full day out and early travel l was looking forward to kicking my shoes off but the carpet was stained so I kept my shoes firmly on my feet. The room was stifling with no air flow. The bathroom was fine and clean with a good sized shower. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows smelt old. Breakfast was bland and mediocre. The staff were ok. Not impolite but not chatty either. The bartender refused to answer me directly but aimed his answers to my sons like I wasn't there. We had really looked forward to some luxury at this hotel but it was sadly lacking"
