Top Carfax Tower Hotel Reviews

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fourth stay at this modest, well located hotel. We always get a warm welcome from front desk staff, and they have good suggestions for local food and drink. This is just steps away from the Ashmolean museum, and right near a bus stop for easy transport around the town. But most places of interest to us are in walking distance. excellent value for price in this expensive town!"

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel. Staff were excellent. Beds very comfortable but the room had poor lighting, it was very dim!"

Old Bank Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"great experience"

Royal Oxford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location near train station! Has lovely staff, a/c, extremely clean, very modern bath, and adjacent restaurant. No elevator, but staff cheerfully carried luggage upstairs! Walking distance to all cultural sites."

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bien ubicada, desayuno genial y muy amplia la habitación. Descanso de 100"

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."

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."
