Top Oxford Hotel Reviews

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this hotel. The location is amazing and within walking distance to everything- shops, restaurants and sights. Great service from the staff! They leave hot chocolate, sparkling/ still water and cookies in the room and replace each day if they are taken/used. We arrived by coach bus and it was a 5 min walk from Gloucester Green bus station. Highly recommend!"

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter was studying abroad in Oxford and I stayed at the Mercure when visiting her. From the moment I entered the lobby, the person behind the desk was smiling and friendly. There was a heatwave and some of the rooms were historic and not air conditioned. I was given a choice to be comfortable in my room with A/C of stay in an historicalroom. I was given a large suite that was quite comfortable and in a remodeled section of the hotel with A/C. There is parking if you have a car and also the hotel is located within walking distance of everything in Oxford. Fresh chilled water was provided that changed everyday in the lobby from mint, to citrus, to cucumber. The staff went out of their way to help with car service to the airport as the public transit was distressed from the heatwave. I was given suggestions for restaurants and sights and great local tips to navigate Oxford from the lovely gentlemen at the front desk. It did not matter whether it was day shift or night shift the staff made me feel like the Mercure was a great home base to enjoy my stay at Oxford. I would definitely stay there again!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"We had to move rooms initially as the wall heater had been left on and it was uncomfortably hot, plus there was a really bad smell (although the room looked cean). Hotel staff helpful and assigned new room without any fuss. Main negative is that half the hotel does not appear to have a lift so we had to haul suitcases up and down stairs. The second room was accessible by lift so much easier. Following that hiccup......rest of stay was very pleasant. Room comfortable and clean. Nice shower products. Amazing breakfast with loads of choice. Spent some time in pool area. Then trip into Oxford which was about 10 mins by car. Perfect location."
