The Galaxie

We reserved a so called "superior double room including breakfast and free parking". On Arrival we were asked to pay extra for breakfast and parking. Entering the "superior double room" the room was as hot as 40°C and the bed 147cmx 180cm which comes closer to a single room than a double room. We could get some sleep when the room had cooled down at about 1 am and till 5:33 when the sunshine was entering straight through the window. We survived. Today we returend to our room at 9:10 pm and unfortunately nobody had cleaned the room and no towels could be found. We are really p.o. with this hotel even if we never expected anything great in neither the UK nor Oxford we would have like a clean cool and quiet room with a bed that fits two grown-ups but children. This is a mees. We stayed at the hotel one year ago and the cleaning was below average but this year the hotel has even declined. We hope to survive the next two nights as hotel in Oxford seem to be overbooked.

Lovely hotel with cool interior design. We stayed one night for a birthday trip to Oxford. The hotel made the birthday extra special with balloons, fizz and a lovely card! Staff were all friendly and helpful. Good room facilities and very comfey beds. Breakfast was good with a decent selection. Location wise it was about a 5 minute drive form the centre (we ordered a cab both ways although there was also puclic transport options. A cab into the centre was approx £8 each way.|Thanks to the team at Galaxie for a lovely stay!

Just returned from an overnight stay here and would just like to thank the team for going above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday so special. The room was beautifully decorated and they had put so much thought into it for us, it was really appreciated.|The hotel itself has really funky and fun décor (which I personally loved!) and the staff were friendly and kind. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. Can not fault this lovely place and would definitely recommend here for a weekend away in Oxford. Thank you so much!

Lovely characterful hotel, comfortable and relaxed. The breakfasts were excellent. Andrew, the concierge, could not have been more welcoming and attentive. He was a lot of fun. All the staff were friendly and efficient. We had a great weekend there with friends.

Absolutely beautiful hotel and the staff were friendly and went out of their way to help us. Sunday breakfast was the most fresh and delicious food we've had our whole trip, and the back gardens were gorgeous. What an unexpected delight!

Loved this hotel and the staff. Very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.|Lots of quirky bits, like a sweet cabinet to help yourself from. Plus a chocolate brownie dome, also complimentary |||We would defenitely stay again next time we are in Oxford.

Hotel room was small , this room didn’t exist on the website , one small Chester draws , little storage , no wardrobe , couldn’t even hang my coat up . Only one side table and lamp for a twin room.||Breakfast very poor . Cold greasy hard fried egg on hot plate, very basic , could get better in a Weather spoons pub. |I would have expected breakfast made to order for the price I was paying . ||I am pleased I only spent one night .. a waste of money , I feel ripped off !

Utterly delightful hotel and staff. In fact the staff are so kind, happy and helpful I can only imagine that the management must be super respectful and run the place really well. My only comment is not a negative more of advice that they need a full length mirror in the room.

So unassuming from the outside. Walking in, you're surrounded by art and lovely furnishings. Andrew is a wonderful host. Great room, very clean and welcoming. Wonderful beds. Good breakfast with excellent service. We really enjoyed our stay here. Enjoy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here during my 2-week study at Oxford. The entire staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are well-appointed and clean. The daily breakfast is fantastic

Good location in Summertown part of Oxford, about 15-20 walk to center city .Bus stop is right at front door if you prefer. There is also a bank , chemist , pub and few more restaurants /shops within 2-5 minute walk. Greenhouse breakfast room adjacent to beautiful well tended garden. Buffet breakfast was excellent with great selection of breads , fruit , eggs , ham ,bacon and even smoked salmon. Accommodating sever was there to take care if drinks. Overall cleanliness was very good. Our room showed a bit of wear here and there but not to detriment of our stay. Bed and bedding were clean and very comfortable. The walk in shower could have used a safety grab bar and a soap dish. Care had to be taken not to get shower spray all over the place since there was no closure in the back. A great value and would stay again.

Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh with this rating. I've put quite a few visitors in here over the years and the main point to report here is that it is hugely overpriced even by the stratospheric standards of Oxford. It had a major refurb a few years ago and the conservatory at the back is quite cosy. The quality of the nearby eateries has improved which is just as well because the in-house menu seemed a bit desultory and didn't get favourable reports

We stayed at the Galaxie Hotel for a weekend to visit Oxford & I must say that we had a very pleasant visit. The rooms were very comfortable with fantastic bed linen, food was excellent & the staff made us feel very welcome. The owners have to be some of the nicest genuine people that I have met! It is situated well within walking distance to the city centre & we will defiantly visit The Galaxie Hotel again when we return to Oxford. Thank you for making our visit even better.

The Galaxie is a nice and cosy hotel. The rooms and bathrooms are modern and clean, the staff is friendly and the breakfast is rich. Bus station in front of the door, it takes some ten minutes to get to the Centre.

Really convenient location - easy bus routes to Oxford centre, towards the railway station, to Oxford hospitals, or an easy taxi ride. Within 400m are 7 restaurants, a pub, a wine café, soon a coctail bar, also M&S and supermarkets opening 06:00 to 23:00 ... and if you want to go punting, that is 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes by bus. There is a guest car park, and the place is nicely decorated; a sort of hotel styled bed and breakfast. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is informal. Nice to get back from a business day or sight seeing, change clothes and walk out for a nice dinner and drink. The hotel permits use of microwave cookers for heating ready meals as required, and the breakfast room is really nice, based around a conservatory -- so lots of light and warmth, probably hot in summer -- looking out on the pretty secluded garden.
