Top Ashmolean Museum Hotel Reviews

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A home from home"

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."

Westgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located just over the road from the main train station but doesn’t suffer from any noise or crowds. Perfectly placed to walk straight into the heart of Oxford within 10mins. The staff were very nice and polite. If you’re after a basic hotel with free WiFi, breakfast, in a good location, this is it."

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"great location,helpful staff, very comfortable rooms."

Royal Oxford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and helpful staff. Room perfect and clean had a good nights sleep"

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."
