Boasting magnificent academic heritage, Oxford is a beautiful city where Gothic spires intermingle with medieval colleges. Comprising England’s oldest university, most of the 38 unique colleges are sadly only viewable from the outside. Two visitable ones are Magdalen College, considered one of the most beautiful, and Christchurch College whose quadrangle was used in the 1st Harry Potter film. Its cathedral choir also sings evensong.
Other notable colleges are Balliol and Merton, the 2 oldest, while Hertford College has the Bridge of Sighs. Next door is the cavernous Bodleian Library, overlooking the round Radcliffe Camera, the city’s best-known landmark.
The university also has a botanical garden and the best Oxford museums, including the Ashmolean Museum and Natural History Museum, where swifts nest in summer.
Unsurprisingly for a student town, it has lots of bars and restaurants. Oxford shopping is also good and includes England’s oldest covered market, brightly coloured High Street shops, and the Clarendon and Westgate shopping centres.
Whether you arrive by road or fly into London Oxford Airport, don’t leave without trying Oxford punting. In contrast to rival Cambridge, you punt here by standing in the front (rather than on the back). Easily accessed from the Oxford accommodation on Booking.com, the routes take in the River Cherwell and the Isis (the name for this part of the Thames).
Beautiful city. Calm and relaxed. People are courteous and polite. Loved the slow life. City centre doesn’t have many attractions so one can take the 2 hr. Walking tour. Many great places to eat . And all under one roof Westgate shopping centre too.

Lovely place to visit.
Lovely place to visit. I went as my family grew up in Oxford and I have never been before. Drove from Oxford to Fritwell, then onto Bicester. Lovely little trip. The city centre was beautiful, so much to do in the short time I was there.

The hotel is very unique.
The hotel is very unique. We stayed in one of the cell rooms which added to the experience. I think if you didn’t stay in one of the cell rooms, it would feel like staying in any other nice hotel. Just bare in mind that the cell rooms do not have a window that you can look out of, only a little window near the ceiling, it is literally 2-3 old Victorian prison cells converted into one room, so you wouldn’t expect there to be a window to look out of. The cell room feels very spacious and very nicely converted, with a prison vibe going on. If you are driving to the hotel, to avoid disappointment, make sure you reserve parking. Parking is VERY limited.
We had an evening meal in the hotel, which was excellent, a little over priced maybe? So I was expecting an excellent breakfast, but sadly not. I had full English and my breakfast was warm, not hot. Found the bacon and potato croquettes quite rubbery. I felt my breakfast was probably cooked an hour ago and was kept under one of them warming lights. Even if my breakfast was freshly cooked, I still think for breakfast it was extremely over priced.
Over all the hotel was superb and is in a fantastic location, centre of Oxford. Everything you want to see and do in Oxford is all within walking distance.
I would gladly recommend this hotel.

Unfortunately, only spent a few hours walking around the old historic parts of Oxford. There's plenty of beautiful sandstone buildings and sights to see. Many places charge an entrance fee though but still enjoyed just wandering around looking at the architecture and down to the river was very pleasant. Definitely, will read up and research more on the history and places to see for a return visit to Oxford. Good bus service to the city centre.

I enjoyed the Ashmolean Museum, the Bodleian library and looking at all the wonderful buildings, colleges and Churches. The view from the top of the Carfax tower was superb as was the Covered Market and the main High St was full of many interesting shops.
The Westgate shopping Mall was great - the city is very compact and easy to navigate. The streets are very clean and without rubbish everywhere.
There are many good restaurants and bars at reasonable prices.

I was in Oxford for business but I plan returning for at least 2-3 days for historical sightseeing and dining out experience. Oxford in an hour by train from London Paddington train station for those who do not prefer to drive. An attractive old city in any season.
Lovely room, tea and biscuits provided, even a little bag of toiletries which was lovely! Soft and hard pillows to suit your preference and the heating made the room very cosy. Great central location for seeing all the main sites of Oxford. Reception worker was very helpful on the phone when we called asking for parking suggestions. Room was a decent size and was very quiet. We didn't hear any noise from the other rooms and the hotel allowed us to store our bags there for the day which is always helpful.
The hotel is in a great location with a village feel although it's very close to the Oxford city centre. The room was very comfortable and the staff were friendly wishing us a merry Xmas. Apart from the breakfast which was excellent we ate a very good lunch and dinner at the hotel. It's easy to get into Oxford city centre, either by bus or taxi but there is a lovely walk along the river which takes about 45 minutes. We would definitely stay there again.
A quiet little hotel with wonderful staff in North Oxford right next to St Hughes College. My room was small but very nicely appointed with lovely views over the garden. Listening to the birds in the morning was super. Everything was so comfortable, cozy and just right. Lovely breakfast in the morning served in the conservatory with, again, garden views. It is a peaceful, well-run establishment and I look forward to returning often.
Ideal location for Oxford City Centre. Free on site parking meant we could park up and walk to the city centre in 30 minutes. We found all the staff friendly and helpful. The Hotel and rooms were spotlessly clean. The breakfast was amazing with a choice of buffet style hot or a fresh fruit salad.Overall good value for money. I would definitely be back the next time we are looking to stay in that area.
The "superior" room was splendid - ample room (indeed 2), chairs, facilities, shower all fine. The location was excellent, in central Oxford, overlooking a lesser street and Oxford Union, so light, if not entirely quiet
when windows were open on hot night - but fine and appropriate. Hotel was small and personal. Staff were efficient/polite + very helpful - good at luggage management.
The Linton Lodge Hotel is pleasantly situated in a quiet area of north Oxford, with good provision for parking - mainly at the rear of the hotel - and near regular buses to the city centre. The staff are friendly and helpful. A good breakfast is available, but at other times there is no restaurant at present. However there are plenty of other options.
The room is extremely nice for the money. Large and comfortable, with a good shower and towels. The only problem was the internet went out the last night, but that seems fairly common in England. There was a place to park our car and we just took a 10 minute bus ride into Oxford and a 45 minute one to Blenheim. Much easier than driving and parking.
Hotel was in a great location only 10 minute walk into central Oxford. Very clean & modern. The rooms were spacious & spotless with a great selection of teas & coffee. The breakfast was fabulous lots of choices.
The food at the bar was very good to with a good selection. Definitely will stay again & recommend !
Hotel reception staff, on arrival very helpful and friendly they let us check into one of our rooms early so we could change for our sons graduation that afternoon.
Bedrooms lovely & breakfast very good. Free parking.
Walking distance to park & ride so easy to get into Oxford city centre.
What an amazing hotel with so much character. The staff were excellent and the location was ideal to access the city centre.
The food was wonderful, the overall atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing and peaceful. A great venue to unwind and take in Oxford.
Location 10 minutes walking distance to Oxford City Centre
Owners of the hotel was lovely, very helpful
The hotel room was basic but had all the essentials and was spotless. 
I would 100% book again if staying in Oxford.
The location just off High Street puts you at the center of old Oxford. The rooms, 17th-century?, have been recently and wonderfully renovated--all the charm of the old building and all the conveniences of a modern hotel.
Lovely quiet room overlooking the fields. Breakfast was excellent, well stocked and frequently replenished. The location of the hotel is just a short walk along the Thames or by road to Oxford city centre.
Room was clean and comfortable
Breakfast was a nice experience
Close to Oxford city centre and the colleges
Very good to have a more than adequate car park attached to the hotel included in the price.
The hotel is a 5min drive from Oxford Parkway. Huge enough for 6 luggages to fit in a studio room. Comfortable bed, clean room and lovely amenities. There are nice refreshments by the lobby as well.
The hotel was beautifully British with updated yet old world finishes, comfort and charm. The room was well appointed and the bed very comfortable. Exactly the experience I would expect in Oxford!
City centre location and the brilliant conversion from the old gaol into an interesting hotel. Within a few steps you find yourself in the heart of Oxford, the shopping, bars and the colleges.
It was a great stay i really enjoyed the customer service. Great Support from Josh and Diana. They were very supportive. I highly recommend easyhotel to anyone who is staying in oxford!
Location ok. not in best part of Oxford city but near Westgate shopping centre which was lucky since we weren’t allowed to eat at the hotel as we hadn’t booked covid slots!
Great value for money considering it is right in the Headington High Street with very easy access to Oxford city centre, hotels in Oxford are generally very expensive.
