Top Cowley Road Hotel Reviews

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great trip"

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"

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!"
