Royal Oxford Hotel

The hotel isn't far from the bus nor train stations, so that makes it great and convenient. It’s also not a bad walk to central Oxford and the colleges there as well as central stores and such and it’s on many of the bus routes. Very close walk to Oxford Castle.|| Staff was great and nice and open 24hrs. My room was ready early so that was a bonus. Note since the key is large, you just hand that back to the front desk each time you leave so there is no need to worry about losing it.| My room had a small hallway with the bathroom to the left up a step and the room at the end. The room was a decent size with a large bed with chocolates on it which was nice to have. There is also some snacks and water as well on the desk that comes with the room as well it offers the standard kettle and hair dryers, though if you want access to the outlets to plug in devices, you will have to unplug these.|| The bathroom was big, though you do have to watch out for the step, at least in my room or you could trip and hurt your toes if you forgot about it. Water pressure and temperatures were fine. You also have your shampoo and soap in dispensers in the shower, however they are not tamper proof, so use with caution.|| WIFI though I found to be weak at least in my room and that was the only negative I could think of...

Easy to find with good parking nearby (when the railway carpark is properly open again).|Tidy, quiet and neat, very friendly front of house staff on the desk, late porter the same, all good so far. |The hotel is about a five/ten minute walk form the town depending on age, speed and urgency, so it's absolutely great for shows, pubs and nearby restaurants and is visible from the station (more or less) so dead easy to find. |There's Sainsburys local literally in the same building was very handy for those last minute nibbles.||The room, quite a walk from the front door, but that's the way these things are in older buildings, It was tidy and with a decent stock of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and a few biscuits, the bed was a generous 6/10 for comfort, certainly sleep-able but could be softer. The bathroom was... Ah... Ok... Yeah... Exciting....||The shower (wall mounted above the bath-tub) came on fast and sprayed water all over the place, up the wall, over the window blind and on the floor, then I discovered the splash-door for the shower won't actually open past the taps, leaving excess shower spray to saturate the floor/towels etc. the water was hot then cold then hot... Minor complaints. the bathroom was clean certainly. I found it odd that the bathroom vanity unit light could only be used when the bathroom main light was also on, bit of a dazzling blinder at 3am, when a low light would be more fit for purpose.||The hotel does not provide breakfast. Although we did not make us of it, the restaurant literally next door to the hotel does do breakfast.||Will we visit again ? If we we're in Oxford, certainly yes.

I loved this hotel! The staff went out of there way to help me. They were all so helpful and kind. The rooms were spacious and clean. The location was super convenient for travelers. If I make it back to Oxford, I will stay here again!

We spent one night in Oxford, taking the train in and leaving by train the next day. The hotel, located directly across the street from the train station is conveniently situated. Easy to walk into town to see all the sites. The room was pretty barebones but very clean. The reception staff was friendly.

The Staff on the desk amazing. But the water pressure was awful too a few to have a shower and the bathroom in December was freezing. |The quilts appeared to not fit the bed too well. Very small for single quilts

Great 5 night stay. Arrived a bit before the room was available so had lunch down the road at Bangkok House for Thai food, which was delicious. Came back at 1500 and room on 2nd floor was available. A bit of a hike up and down stairs but not bad. Did not get the name of the gal who checked us in but gave us a map and some ideas where to eat. Location is fantastic!! Walking distance to everything. Train station is just a two minute walk. Everyone of the staff was so pleasant. Towels were changed out everyday and bed was made up. Ample choices provided with a hot water pot. Coffee, teas and hot chocolate. Would definitely stay here again when back in Oxford.

It is a very nice room, plenty of spaces, complimentary and easy to access (in front of the Oxford railway station). Staff are nice and helpful. They are willing to introduce the beautiful city Oxford. Please be aware that there are no lifts if it matters.

This hotel was perfect for a quick weekend trip in Oxford. We were in town for a wedding and it is conveniently located close to the train station. It is about a 10 minute scenic walk to the city center which we enjoyed. It was quite hot the weekend we were there so we really appreciated the air conditioning. The room was clean and fairly quiet. The staff were kind and very helpful and we also appreciated that they held our luggage on check out day so we could attend a brunch. Great hotel!

The location is amazing - very close to the train station which is very helpful when your evening train is delayed. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Rooms were very clean and tidy, I even had mint chocolate on the bed. The only problem I can think of - rooms have quite think walls. Luckily my neighbours weren't noisy, but if they were it would have been another story;)

Absolutely perfect! Beautiful hotel in a great location. Staff from the moment we arrived until we left was attentive, helpful and pleasant. The spa was also lovely. I absolutely would return and highly recommend this hotel!

This hotel was an OK choice. My room was small and old (with sort-of-charming, sort-of-useless ancient windows) but in good condition. The bathroom was also very old but nice in its own way. Everything was quite clean. The location can't be beat, easy walk from the train, and you can walk or bus to anywhere in Oxford in short order. You have to leave your keys at the desk... kind of annoying. The walls are also pretty thin.

Very kind at the reception. Good beds and I had a great shower. In the evening you have a few bars that are late open, but we didn't hear a thing. I recommend this hotel to everyone.

Very very nice hotel that is close to everything you would need in Oxford. Rooms were clean and well kept, breakfast from the restaurant downstairs was enjoyable and the beds were comfortable. The major downside is the old fashioned keys, to which you must give back when you leave the building. I don't like that policy...otherwise I will be staying again.

I'm still a fan although I wish the temperature was more manageable. I'm a big fan of the breakfast and the staff is always friendly. Wifi can be unstable at times.

This is where lots of business people stay. It's not as luxurious as some of the other hotels in Oxford, but it's definitely got one of the best locations as it's really near the trains and bus stations and the town centre. It's open 24 hours and I think the reception staff speak quite a few languages (some definitely speak French, German, Italian and Spanish). There's Wifi and room service, so great for business travellers, but also useful for tourists who want to stay in a central location. Prices range from £130-£150 for single to triple rooms including breakfast. They also have family rooms. If you're in a group, give them a call as I know people have managed to get group discounts before.
