People are so busy spmetimes one will forget to check that the deposit has been returned back"

Top Headington Shark Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival at malmaison we were ushered up to the front of the hotel were our car was then parked for us, leaving us to take our bags and check in. On entering Malmaison you are struck immediately with how much work has gone into redesigning the prison into the hotel it has now become, check in was smooth and efficient, the staff very welcoming, we were given our room cards and encouraged to enjoy our sentence with them for the duration of our stay, this put at ease straight away. We were locked up on the fifth floor and found our room to be spacious and cosy, plenty of hanging space for our clothes, with the usual tea/ coffee etc to be sufficient for our needs, the biscuits and chocolates were a nice touch. The bar staff were welcoming with nothing being too much trouble, they were very knowledgeable about the drinks they were serving, Jed served us our first drink and was so polite and engaging. We didn’t stay for breakfast or meals as we prefer to explore the surrounding area. On the whole it was a very enjoyable experience."

Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel was very cleaning and staff were extremely helpful. The room and lobby are sparse; minimal furniture and accessories but there is air conditioning! Nice neighborhood."

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"It was a true pleasure staying at The Store. From the greeting of the professional/ welcoming front desk staff, to the doormen, to the wait staff, this hotel shines. Such an enjoyable, hard working and proud staff who present so happy to be part of the team. The Hotel goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The room was immaculate and comfortable. Of course, the top floor outdoor patio is a delightful place to have a glass of Chardonnay and feast upon the stunning view. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all future Oxford visitors."

Crown House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious, had a comfortable bed, and great shower. It was very plain white with minimal decoration. No air conditioning, but a good floor fan that kept us sufficiently comfortable. You are given a security code for self check in and the rooms are up a staircase to the second floor. You can hear other people open and close their doors but no one bothered us. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants -- middle Eastern, Chinese, Turkish, Gelato-- and convenient shops and buses nearby. Lots of wonderful languages spoken in this area and friendly people. It's about a 15 minute walk to the tourist info as t city center where we picked up the hop on, hop off tourist bus (good idea). We'd stay there again"

Conifers Guest House

8/10 Good

"The experience was very nice"

The Rana Apartments

8/10 Good

"We had a great time in this property, which is described accurately on the site. It is located a bit outside Oxford, but within walking distance (40 min brisk walk). You can also use the wheels in Oxford (scooters mostly available) and the X3 bus was very convenient. The reason why I docked marks is because I found the processes associated with the property stressful. Now I have been through it, I would book again. Check-in is process heavy compared to a hotel and you have to pay a £250 deposit. You only receive the code for the mail box where the keys are located at 3pm on the day, so until I was there, I thought it may have been a scam tbh. I had phoned the company and they explained the process, but I was still stressed. Hopefully this review will put you at ease. The exit was then stressful because of the deposit refund. There was a broken kettle when we came in and something happened with the sink on the departure morning as we washed up for the first time. We did everything we were supposed to do and got the deposit back, but it took a more than a week, so some stress there too, as there were reviews mentioning issues with the deposit. So all in all, we had a very nice stay, but the before and after could have been smoother. Now I know, I would book this property again."

The Black Boy

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Staff were wonderful, room was gorgeous and clean, would 100% recommend."

The Dial House Guest House

8/10 Good

"Staff were lovely and very helpful. There was free parking on site, which was a bonus. Breakfast was very good and plentiful including, eggs however you like them, ham and cheese, yoghurt, fruit, cereal, toast and jam, croissants and pain au chocolate. Very nice. Lovely big breakfast room with a view over the garden."

Pickwicks Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice small hotel. No lift but my. Bag was carried upstairs quiet. Off road parking and a garden."
