Holiday Inn Oxford by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, I booked quickly after arriving at a dirty hotel ten minutes away. Staff were very helpful and made sure I was looked after. I was upgraded to a better room"

Cotswold Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay if visiting for a short stay. Clean and functional with nice polite, helpful desk man."

OYO Lina Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Recently refurbished, excellent staff, very pleasant stay."

The Galaxie

8/10 Good

"I love this hotel. It's full of character, including it's little garden. But it can also be a bit hit and miss. Maybe that's part of the charm..."

Marlborough house hotel

8/10 Good

"Our stay was nice. It was a bit far from the city center. It was nice that a fan was provided. We loved having the bathtub. The room was pretty warm on hotter days with no air conditioning. Check in was easy. Overall, we would stay here again."

Remont Oxford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great value and very convenient for visiting Oxford While the hotel is not in the city centre, the location is extremely practical. There is a bus stop right outside the property, making it quick and effortless to get straight into central Oxford without dealing with city parking. The hotel itself is small, cosy, and impeccably clean, with all the necessary amenities. Breakfast in the morning was another highlight — delicious, hearty, and freshly prepared, giving us a great start to the day. Our room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, though the en-suite bathroom was particularly compact. Space in there was quite tight, making it a bit awkward to move around or shower comfortably. That said, considering the convenience, cleanliness, and overall quality, it represents great value for money."

10/10 Excellent

Cotswold House

8/10 Good

"Everything fine. A bit far from the city center but there is good public transport nearby. Bathroom needs renewal and thorough cleaning."
