Top Carfax Tower Hotel Reviews

easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Why is there bathroom in reception? Makes no sense to me. Small room but it’s what you pay for and does the job for a night"

Vanbrugh House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely room with small garden but as a user of a stick breakfast was VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCESS unfortunately"

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk was extremely accommodating!"

George Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was great, a little different taking elevator up 1 floor for check in but I’m from US."

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"good"

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property, definitely not a hotel for anyone with physical challenges due to steep narrow winding stairs and no elevator. Delicious golden syrup shortbread treats in the room daily. Super kind and helpful staff that pre-arranged our pick-up and return to the airport at a fixed price of 125 pounds."

The Bocardo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful, tidy and clean room. The staff are so, so helpful on check-in and let us leave our case at the property the next day whilst we were with our daughter at her college. The room has wi-fi and air-conditioning. The hotel is situated right in the city centre which is fantastic but at the weekend you have to allow for students partying. Would we stay agin? Yes indeed!"

The Buttery Hotel

8/10 Good

"It's a lovely hotel in a listed building so no lift just winding stairs so it's probably not for people with limited mobility or vast amounts of luggage although the manager did get a member of staff to carry my case to my room while I was checking in. The stairs aside, it was clean and the staff were really friendly. It's right in the centre of Oxford, so is handy for all the city centre shops, restaurants and museums. Although there is no room for a restaurant the hotel has negotiated a discount in the next door cafe (which does a great full English Breakfast) and also a nearby Italian restaurant for dinner."

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

"My only issue was that the bathroom was not clean."
