Compact room, clean and with all you need for a one night stay. Very easy check in process and friendly member of staff. Very centrally located and street was a little noisy in the morning due to deliveries etc. but not a huge issue. Would stay here again 👍

There was no way of turning off the main light in the room, with the switches not working. When I reported this to reception they said the only way to deal with this was for me to use the switch on the fuse box each time I wanted to turn it on or off, which also involved me standing on a stool to do this, in the dark for half the time. I don't think this is an acceptable situation in a hotel room, and yet the hotel would not even consider any kind of reimbursement for this

My wife and I spent a night here at the end of July. We had asked for a room on the first floor, which we given. Check-in was quick and easy. The room, whilst small, had all the aminities necessary, including a kettle with branded tea and coffee, sugar and sweetners, sachets of milk in the mini fridge and two biscuits. There were also two cans of still water in the fridge. There was also a 32-inch flat-screen TV and Free WiFi which worked well.The bathroom toiletries were by L'Occitane and there were plenty of towels provided. The central location was excellent for seeing the city sights. It was only five minute walk to the bus station and a food market was just around the corner. I was particularly impressed by the amount of information provided by the hotel prior to our arrival, infrming me of ID to bring, local parking facilities, check-in time, etc. If we visit Oxford again I will certainly consider the Bocardo as my place to stay.

If you don't have a car in Oxford this is an amazing location. A short walk from the train and bus stations and very centrally located to restaurants and other things to see in town. We were in a room on the top floor at the back and had no problem with noise. The room was clean and the front desk was helpful when we had questions, I would stay here again.

The hotel staff was lovely. Oxford itself is loud in the evenings, and rather costly. If you're there to enjoy late nights, this central hotel is great for a solo traveller. Getting to and from the airport is extremely easy via bus only 1 block away.
