Top Ashmolean Museum Hotel Reviews

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great trip"

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property, definitely not a hotel for anyone with physical challenges due to steep narrow winding stairs and no elevator. Delicious golden syrup shortbread treats in the room daily. Super kind and helpful staff that pre-arranged our pick-up and return to the airport at a fixed price of 125 pounds."

The Bocardo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful, tidy and clean room. The staff are so, so helpful on check-in and let us leave our case at the property the next day whilst we were with our daughter at her college. The room has wi-fi and air-conditioning. The hotel is situated right in the city centre which is fantastic but at the weekend you have to allow for students partying. Would we stay agin? Yes indeed!"

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel as it is well positioned in Oxford. We were met as we drove up by the valet who took care of our car. The hotel is in an old prison which was cool. We had rooms in the female prison block which was across the courtyard. The rooms were very comfortable. We had drinks at the bar which was great. Breakfast was delicious and I would recommend getting it as part of your stay. We enjoyed our stay here and would book it again if we returned to Oxford."

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"

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."

Cotswold Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very charming traditional small hotel with beautiful toile furnished chambers and lovely common rooms. The food at the restaurant was delicious and bar stayed open late. Great location and very quiet. will look forward to my return."
