Top Sheldonian Theatre Hotel Reviews

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such helpful staff. WhatsApp service to reception and they bring extra towels/drinks etc to your room, so quickly too. Stored luggage for us and was in our room ready. Shower was good, fan in the room. Really central location. Was a lovely stay. Thanks to all staff."

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable bed! A fan was provided which was awesome given the heat wave that was happening! There was an iron/ironing board and the room was spacious. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Had a great supper in the restaurant. Parking on site for a very reasonable price. Great location for exploring plus the area around was very quiet."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Paying more than £200 for a midweek one night stay, you have certain expectations. The room was nice, the bathroom modern, the staff at check in very pleasant. We arrived during a heatwave. The room was hot (the thermostat said 26 celsius / 80F). We tried adjusting the air conditioning to cool the room, but it didn't do anything. There was a powerful fan that at least moved the air around, but no cooling. The windows were all sealed shut, even though the hotel is in a historic building and they should have been openable. Thus we sweated through the night even sleeping with the fan on and without using the comforter. The room was no cooler in the morning although it had cooled off considerably outside. Additionally the wifi was pretty poor (rhere was an option to buy better) and the coffee was Nescafe sachets. These are the kinds of things I expect in a £60 hotel room, but not in one costing three times as much."

George Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel doesn't look impressive from outside. The window on ground floor is boarded up, reception is on first floor very small area The hotel is very nice inside, rooms are nicely decorated , the bathroom has a lovely sink and rainfall shower. Plenty of tea, coffee, nice biscuits. The reception service is below standards for a decent hotel. Staff not very good at dealing with customers . After my four night stay, apparently I hadn't stayed there! and was supposed to be checking in after my checkout. Very shoddy and disorganised customer service . Find a hotel with a nice restaurant is my recommendation, though I did know about absence of restaurant before booking."

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

4/10 Poor

"A rather shabby hotel which save for the restaurant is served by obviously demotivated and poorly trained staff . The attention to detail was quite shocking . The lift was out of order to the the 4th floor and being " urgently " repaired - over a 24 hour period there was no sign of any repair activity , the bar crowded and sporadically staffed. The doormen shuffling about with their shirt tails hanging out and filthy chandeliers in reception. This hotel is an overpriced and dreary place ."

Cotswold Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Staff are exceptional: always welcoming, helpful and polite.Breakfast was great: served quickly and decent choices. There is plenty parking at hotel so you don’t have any distance to walk with luggage. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel where the buses are frequent and drop you in the town centre or you can walk the 20 minutes. Our room was spacious and immaculately clean. The only downside was visiting during a heatwave as the room was exceptionally warm and the fan was an essential addition to the room although air conditioning would have been great. The service from the staff in this hotel is the best."
