"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

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Clean safe and great location. Loved it."

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Everything was great- very quiet location, excellent breakfast, daily housekeeping for fresh towels and sheets and helpful staff. There was a little problem with the TV not working but it was resolved the next day."

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at the Store for a long weekend in a standard room. The hotel is beautifully decorated and well located in the centre of Oxford. We took advantage of the gym and complementary sauna session due to the wet weather. Facilities are small but very well maintained. The breakfast is from a standard menu, including fried breakfasts/pancakes. I have some allergies and they were happy to adjust to accommodate. However, the allergen labelling and options could have been better, as they just removed items from the choices and the continental options were not clearly labelled. Overall a lovely visit, would come back when it is sunnier to make the most of the roof terrace."

voco Oxford Spires by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Location great. Uber options helpful along with other transport options including buses and walking by pavement or by the river path (watch out for bikes). Staff super helpful including Izabela and Ayesha. Breakfast good, staff friendly. Bar staff helpful too. Spa facilities good. Parking worked, electric charging available, chargers low charging rate. Thank you for looking after us."

easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival, a friendly receptionist greeted us and checked us in with no hassle. The hotel is very much a place to sleep and shower. We booked a double room, which is quite small and fits the bed with just enough space to walk around it. Storage is minimal, with under-bed storage large enough for two backpacks, and there is no wardrobe. The bathroom was clean, the AC was sufficient, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel if you simply need a quick overnight stay, as it offers good value for money."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Car parking extremely limited and tight spaces. Plus it’s in the congestion charging zone which should have been highlighted. Staff didn’t stow bags securely before check in. Nice rooms, clean and good amenities."

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."
