"The property was really good. Clean, tidy and well presented. My only issue was that the radiators were not as warm despite being on the highest setting. The bedroom especially was very cold. Another negative is upto now I have not received my deposit back. Surely you should have a system that works for returning deposits back. People are so busy spmetimes one will forget to check that the deposit has been returned back"

Top Headington Shark Hotel Reviews

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location with restaurants & fast food close by. Hop on, Hop off bus nearby. Room was quiet. Strangely, our room had no drawers or shelves for our clothes. The add on closet was small without shelves too. Everything else was fine. Entry level bar with nice lounge seating. Employees made you feel comfortable and hotel was very secure with key card access."

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Easy access for LMH"

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent for walking Oxford. Breakfast buffet was OK. Lots of options to eat close to the hotel. The room was small, but acceptable. 35GBP a day, to leave the car parked at the local shopping center was annoying."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and clean condition"

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent 2-night stay when I was dropping my daughter off to Oxford U. Very comfortable beds, quiet and cozy. We did not eat at the hotel as there were so many options right outside. There was a small problem with the kettle and we got a new one replaced straight away. Extremely helpful staff! We would stay here again."

Conifers Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The was clean, comfortable. Available parking. Helpful staff"

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."

Athena Guest House

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for a couple of nights and overall it was a decent experience. The room was on the small side—definitely compact—but it had everything I needed for a short stay. The bed was comfortable although made squeaking noise when turning over, the wifi worked well. It's not a place you'd want to spend a lot of time lounging in, since space is tight, but if you're just looking for somewhere clean to sleep, it does the job. The location was convenient, and check-in was quick and easy. Not luxurious, but no major complaints. Would consider staying again if I needed something simple."

Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel appears to have had a fresh renovation and the staff weren’t just welcoming but very hospitable as if they were welcoming you into their personal home. The hotel was in an ideal location for us with a very reasonable cost. Ideal because it is slightly away from the main road but close enough to the bus line to take you back and forth to city center and to Magdalen College which is also walkable from the hotel (8-10min). Many eatery options nearby. A couple of things to note; 1. There is a pub across the street that sometimes plays loud music but during respectable hours and we enjoyed the local flavor. 2. There is a lift to the 2nd floor only but we had help with our bags up and down the 3rd floor. The lift is a true lift that you must hold the button continuously to rise and lower to the floor you want. Then you open the door to exit. A bit manual sorta like the wheelchair lifts for stages. I most definitely would choose this hotel again and again."
