Top Cowley Road Hotel Reviews

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

8/10 Good

"Good hotel near the centre of Oxford. Big room and comfy bed, decent ameneties."

Crown House

8/10 Good

"Good location, clean room. The pillows could be better and the fan was making a lot of noise. Overall good place."

Rasa Sayang House

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but there was a bit of mold in the bathroom which made it stink a bit. Other than that the beds were comfy and clean, staff was very nice and it was in a good location!"

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent for walking Oxford. Breakfast buffet was OK. Lots of options to eat close to the hotel. The room was small, but acceptable. 35GBP a day, to leave the car parked at the local shopping center was annoying."

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay and visit to Oxford University. Highly recommend the hotel. Short walk from train station. Right across the street from Westgate shopping centre and close proximity to the colleges."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and clean condition"

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent 2-night stay when I was dropping my daughter off to Oxford U. Very comfortable beds, quiet and cozy. We did not eat at the hotel as there were so many options right outside. There was a small problem with the kettle and we got a new one replaced straight away. Extremely helpful staff! We would stay here again."

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 5 days in Oxford on a family trip. We chose the hotel because of its location, and it was definitely the best decision: the location is great, right in the heart of the city! We were able to walk almost everywhere. We stayed in a suite with a balcony, and we really recommend it: drinking that first cup of coffee while sitting on the balcony, taking in the view and feeling the city come to life, was fantastic! We really recommend the hotel: great location, very clean, and very kind and helpful staff. The suite was very comfortable, with a lot of space. And, oh, the balcony! Simply unbeatable. We'll definitely be back!"

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely hotel. However, the floor plan is very complex. The room we had (and certainly not the cheapest) was on the first floor. Up to the first floor in the elevator. Up several steps, down several steps and then down 2 flights of stairs. This is definitely not accessible."
