Top Ashmolean Museum Hotel Reviews

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely hotel. However, the floor plan is very complex. The room we had (and certainly not the cheapest) was on the first floor. Up to the first floor in the elevator. Up several steps, down several steps and then down 2 flights of stairs. This is definitely not accessible."

The Bocardo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"By far, the best thing about our stay is how helpful the staff were. Even though sometimes no one is at the front desk, they are quite responsive. My husband and I had a big health scare while we were visiting. They took the time to help us with establishing a UK phone number, troubleshooting, getting to our care facilities, and even took the time to secure a room for us should we have needed an extra night. They were amazing!"

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very accommodating always with a smile."

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"So well positioned for the New Theatre, room small and dated but everything worked, the air con was quiet and street noise was close to zero. Excellent bed and shower. A great stay for an overnight, not though a hotel base for much longer"

Euro Bar and Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is going through modernisation mainly entrance and hallway the rooms have been modernised and are very good and comfortable with en-suite towels and shower gel and shampoo the rooms are very clean and tidy with tea/coffee available in your room"

Cotswold Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"x"

The Buttery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Shops close as was everything else."

George Oxford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great option for a quick 1-night stay in central Oxford. My top floor room was clean and comfortable, with a new TV, fan, kettle, water and biscuits. The bathroom was perfectly adequate, with a warm shower and towels/toiletries provided. No complaints at all - some of the reviews seem a little unfair. I appreciate it probably gets quite hot in summer, and there was a minor smell in the ground floor entrance hall, but otherwise all was OK. Very fast check-in which was appreciated given I was running late. You're paying for the location, and for that, it was good value."

Premier Inn Oxford City Centre - Westgate

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. The staff were welcoming, helpful, accommodating, and friendly. Perfect location and convenient."
