Top Oxford Castle Hotel Reviews

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."

easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect room if you’re ok with something small and simple. It’s clean, and the staff are super helpful. If you need a desk, chair, or space to do your morning calisthenics find somewhere else. But if you’re ok with something inexpensive in a great location this works well"

Old Bank Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel and very close to the city centre, shops and numerous restaurants. The reason for deducting one star was due to their being a ‘service’ charge of £33 on the final bill. When I questioned it I was told it was discretionary hence I asked for it to be removed. The hotel is very expensive which we were happy to pay, however I wouldn’t expect to see this charge, discretionary or not, as I would expect 5* service to be included. I wonder how many people have paid this charge not realising what it was for. Apart from that I would highly recommend this hotel."

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."

Westgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located just over the road from the main train station but doesn’t suffer from any noise or crowds. Perfectly placed to walk straight into the heart of Oxford within 10mins. The staff were very nice and polite. If you’re after a basic hotel with free WiFi, breakfast, in a good location, this is it."

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."
