Top Balliol College Hotel Reviews

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent quality rooms and value for money given it's in central Oxford. I used to stay at the Randolph but the prices they now charge in conjunction with removal of the residents' bar after midnight are unacceptable."

Tower House

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay in this room, The Foundry, at Tower House. We loved the OLDNESS of this 16th century building in the heart of Oxford, nestled in among all the colleges. The entrance is just a door up two steps from the street, just as though it's a private dwelling, and not a hotel. (Note the steps are a bit steep, so not best for those with mobility issues.) Our receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Although he is there part-time, he lives next door and is available by phone or text if needed. Here is a list of what we loved: The ancient beams in the ceiling Lots of shelf and closet space Huge bathroom with large towel heater and nice floor and wall tiles Comfortable bed and linens Large room with desk, chair, and easy chair Ceramic coffee/tea cups and glass drinking glasses Excellent big fan Plenty of lights Afternoon chatter of students in nearby outdoors cafe, but very quiet at night. As former students here, we feel we have found our home in Oxford."

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"This hotel is far from perfect. My room was a bit dingy and the heating didn't work. This would normally be a deal breaker for me but the staff was so nice and the place was oddly comfortable, so I liked it more than I should have. The breakfast was very good."

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Ethos Hotel, it is very well positioned for a five/ten minute walk into the centre of Oxford. There is parking available for a charge of £29 per night, with £20 of this price being redeemable in the Ethos Cafe which is available for breakfast, meals and drinks. The rooms are very clean, and towels are changed daily. The Ethos Cafe is very clean too and affordable meals available and is a pleasant place to start the day with a breakfast. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I would recommend this hotel for your stay in Oxford."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the newer annexe at the rea rof the hotel in a very clean and good sized room. We arrived early and manned to get one of the 8-10 car parks which was a bonus and especially as the hotel is just inside the new Oxford filter zone. The hotel is just of the High Street and only a 10min walk from the middle of the town centre and covered markets, Very friendly staff and very well appointed hoted , with a great location. We had the breakfast on the first morning and had a good hot and continental options. Would highly recommend for anyone staying in Oxford"
