Top University College Hotel Reviews

easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect room if you’re ok with something small and simple. It’s clean, and the staff are super helpful. If you need a desk, chair, or space to do your morning calisthenics find somewhere else. But if you’re ok with something inexpensive in a great location this works well"

Old Bank Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel and very close to the city centre, shops and numerous restaurants. The reason for deducting one star was due to their being a ‘service’ charge of £33 on the final bill. When I questioned it I was told it was discretionary hence I asked for it to be removed. The hotel is very expensive which we were happy to pay, however I wouldn’t expect to see this charge, discretionary or not, as I would expect 5* service to be included. I wonder how many people have paid this charge not realising what it was for. Apart from that I would highly recommend this hotel."

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bien ubicada, desayuno genial y muy amplia la habitación. Descanso de 100"

Cotswold Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very charming traditional small hotel with beautiful toile furnished chambers and lovely common rooms. The food at the restaurant was delicious and bar stayed open late. Great location and very quiet. will look forward to my return."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed for one night in a privilege room. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was a basic self service buffet and everything was fresh and well presented. At the time of visiting there was no restaurant for lunch and the bar wasn’t open for an evening drink. As a handy place to stay while exploring Oxford the hotel is ideally placed to walk into town. Would recommend."

The Buttery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in a front facing deluxe room which was very spacious and had everything I needed. The surprise addition of a small fridge in the room was great for me as it meant I could fill it with cold cans & nibbles, which made for a comfortable evening in after a long day out. I felt very secure as a female solo traveller & the offer from staff to help me with my luggage down the stairs was very welcome. The view from the large windows over Broad Street was superb especially in the morning as the sun came up. It’s a shame there isn’t a small table & chair in the window area as it was a lovely place to sit & watch the world go by."

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

"My only issue was that the bathroom was not clean."

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Great short stay, will book again. Bar was great."

The Head of the River
