Find Historic Hotels in Oxford City Centre

"This was a wonderfully comfortable and charming hotel. Checking in was easy and the storage of our luggage till room ready was well managed. Paul, the concierge helped me find things in the property and directed us in town. Very nice staff but Paul was excellent in particular. Breakfast was good and the dining room decorated in Alice in wonderland watercolors, bright window light and comfortable seating. The food was varied and you could find something for your taste and dietary needs. Our room was well appointed and very comfortable-- chairs that you could sit in and watch the people go by into Oxford. The hotel is just across from the Ashmolian museum and was close to train station. Also, your room card is a facsimile of a famous Oxford student. Just a nice touch. Plenty of places to sit and read a book, have a drink or get tea. I think this is a wonderful place and will look for other graduate hotels when I travel. "

"You get what you pay for. Above a bar, so loud, and no lift, so going up two flights or more of stairs with luggage. But in city center, so that adds a lot of value. Staff was basically not there. Again, you get what you pay for."

"Very cool to stay in the old cells and a great location in the centre of the city. Booked parking in advance as it’s limited but worked out well. Only minor negative was the inability to open any windows in the room, but it was a prison so…"

"This was a lovely hotel, excellent location to everything and steps from the train station. The room was excellent, clean and spacious "

"Central Oxford location within walking distance of rail, bus, tourist sights and dining options"

"The privilege twin room I booked was excellent in terms of amenities (ironing board and iron, kettle and tea stuff, fridge (complimentary water and Pepsis), Nespresso machine and capsules, bathrobes and slippers, and decor. The only critical comment I would say is that the room was very warm at night and the fridge was placed inside a cupboard and not ventilated so it was also overheated and contributed to the temperature in the room. I’m sure this can be easily remedied. Overall a great stay and the staff was amazing - friendly and professional. Fahmida from Canada"

"Very central location - almost in the middle of Oxford."

"This is a very characterful building in an amazing location, nestled in amongst the colleges. It's important to note that in our experience there was nearly no service: when we were there we did not meet a single staff member. But for us this was fine. We spoke to them by phone, and they were very helpful and flexible with us as we solved some checking-in problems (of our own making, not their fault). Don't expect attentive hotel service and modern facilities but do expect a charming quite amazing ?15th? century idiosyncratic building, a fabulous location, and effective and helpful, if invisible, staff. Highly recommended."
