Top Cowley Road Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly helpful and welcoming staff. Quality products in room Lovely large comfortable room Tasty breakfast Lovely unique setting"

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."

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful all around!"

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Best location in Oxford. Love the roof top bar. Great for photos. Sunday roast delicious. Amazing Spa & Gym. And lounge loved using throughout the day. Perfect hotel best staff!!! Thank you"

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."

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

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

Crown House

8/10 Good

"Reasonable price for the location on Cowley Road across from the O2, which is busy on the weekends into the early hours Clean sheets, floors and bathroom. A bit less so on the walls and light switches. No issues with self serve entry and key system, so never had reason to speak to any staff."

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!"

Athena Guest House

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for a couple of nights and overall it was a decent experience. The room was on the small side—definitely compact—but it had everything I needed for a short stay. The bed was comfortable although made squeaking noise when turning over, the wifi worked well. It's not a place you'd want to spend a lot of time lounging in, since space is tight, but if you're just looking for somewhere clean to sleep, it does the job. The location was convenient, and check-in was quick and easy. Not luxurious, but no major complaints. Would consider staying again if I needed something simple."
