Top hotels in East Oxford
Crown Hotel
A night stop after attending a concert at the nearby O2 academy. Pin room and front door entry brilliant. Room very good but no instructions on operating air conditioner. Got it going after while.

Crown House
The room was large and clean. Based on location be prepared for Uni kids to load a boisterous all night (and I mean all night to 0600)…
