Top Ashmolean Museum Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

8/10 Good

"The first night was tough. My room was on the ground floor next to an extremely noisy neighbour , slamming doors every 5 minutes to their friends room then back. The preceding repeated until 12am. The second night was even worse, their girlfriends joined them so more visitings in between rooms with slamming doors plus yelling in Chinese. I couldn’t take it anymore so the front desk called them to calm down but it didn’t work. I wanted to switch rooms but was told it’s fully booked. After I pleaded for few more minutes, the night manager moved me to a room that was reserved for another guest. That night I finally find peace. I appreciated the effort the staff made to accommodate my situation. Other things I can think of was that the bed was more comfortable on the higher floor I moved to than the ground floor."
