Top Bodleian Library Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bien ubicada, desayuno genial y muy amplia la habitación. Descanso de 100"

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."

Tower House

8/10 Good

"The location is fantastic for touring the university and city, and has lots of very good to great dining options in easy walking distance. The bed was very comfortable and everything clean. The building dates to 1600, so the stairs are tight and boards creak throughout, which may be embraced as part of its character or an annoyance. We liked it very much and would definitely stay again. Management was very kind."

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."

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

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

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."
