Award-winning ales are on offer in the bar, and guests can choose from a traditional British food menu for lunch and dinner. In the morning, you can enjoy a full English or continental breakfast, with vegetarian options also available.

Ronan the assistant manager was very welcoming. Breakfast was excellent with many choices on the menu. Breakfast is served from 08-11. We were able to get a small take away breakfast for our drive to Gatwick airport when we were checking out which we appreciated.There always was parking available for our car. We were able to check in a few hours early which was great because we were very jet lagged. We ate dinner in the restaurant several nights and it was great as well. To get to Oxford we drove to the Seacourt park and ride and paid 5 pounds total to park our car and take the bus into Oxford. To return from Oxford you need to take the same bus line (400) that you went on. Our room was spacious and the shower was great. We were never bothered by noise.

Situated in the heart of historical Oxford, Old Bank Hotel offers rooms which feature marble bathrooms and modern art. Oxford University is located 0.3 miles from the property. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

The spacious rooms are air conditioned and elegantly decorated. Rooms also offer a TV and ample work space. Many have original period features and views of the city.

This hotel is the best of all worlds: a storied old site that has been beautifully modernized: very comfortable beds, spotless linens, windows that open but AC too. And the rooms facing the High Street have extra panes in their windows — so noise is cancelled out. Fabulous.

Sabine Barn is located just 5 miles from Oxford city centre just opposite Farmoor Reservoir. It features free WiFi, free onsite parking and an outdoor seating area.

At Sabine Barn the rooms have a flat-screen TV, kettle and a private bathrooms with bathtub or shower. The 18th century barn has original exposed wooden beams.

Sabine is a beautiful property and good location if you want to stay a bit away (and in a less expensive area) but still close to Oxford. There are a couple excellent pubs close (but not quite walking distance), and our host provided info on how to get into Oxford by bus -- no parking, bus runs to late, late night! "easy, peasy" The room & bathroom were great (lots of space and very clean), the shared sitting area (with the other 3 B&B rooms) was a nice option. We didn't partake in breakfast, but I'm sure it was excellent and it wasn't too much more.

Rooms were very chic and well planned and finally a hotel where the duvet is not tucked in, yay for that. Had a very comfortable stay. Perfect location close to everything

The Galaxie has been transformed into a characterful hotel which oozes personality. It’s one-of-a-kind interiors transport our guests back in time to recreate a bygone age. We believe that small really can be better and prefer individuality over uniformity.

Our neighborhood has a lovely selection of restaurants, wine cafes and a traditional pub. The Galaxie is just a mile from the centre of historic Oxford.

Beautiful, well equipped boutique hotel and just 20 minutes walking distance to the center of Oxford - or a quick bus ride. (There are complimentary bikes on site.) We had a beautiful room, with quirky, cool decor. The staff were lovely and the car park big so convenient. The Lolly bar on the second level was a nice touch and the train that circles the dining area was fun and original. I'd highly recommend and would return if I'm ever in the area again.

    The property is stunning, quiet and very comfortable. It was designed well and has a super comfy bed. I loved the deck and the light coming in. The location was perfect for me, and it was worth the investment to have a quiet, clean, lovely place to relax after a long day at a workshop.

    Great ambience and lovely decor down to the smallest details. Kudos to the interior designer! Staff were very friendly and helpful with any queries. I stayed in a single room as travelling alone, prior reviews made me worry slightly about size and amenities but it was just perfect! Modern and stylish shower room with Victorian touches like taps/faucets and lamp shades.

    It is a grand, stylish property with period features. The bar, restaurant and drawing room are designed beautifully and make great places to relax - albeit the bar is possibly a bit small for such a large hotel. The bed was very comfortable. Excellent location for exploring Oxford.
