Top Carfax Tower Hotel Reviews

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A home from home"

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."

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay here. Very helpful staff, absolutely brilliant location right in the centre of Oxford. Extremely comfortable bed . Fab shower . !!!"

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

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

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"A very unique and lovely place to stay! Room was very clean and well appointed. We were able to easily walk to shops, pubs, and the University sites. Highly recommend!"

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."

Premier Inn Oxford City Centre - Westgate

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are really lovely and very helpful. I hadn't booked a disabled room and they changed our room without any fuss. The beds were comfy and the man on duty changed over the double bed to 2 singles for us. The bathroom was large so very happy with the room. It is very well located opposite the Westgate shopping mall and a few steps away from a weatherspoon pub. Very happy with our stay there."
