Romantic Hotels in Oxford City Centre

"You stay here for the location, which is ideal for walking to much of what Oxford offers. The building is old enough to be historic, something to keep in mind when choosing. Lots of atmosphere, small room with floor that slopes. The bed was very comfortable and the linens nice. I liked having the Nespresso machine in the room for coffee to go with my morning TV news. Bathroom nicely updated. I did object to the worn-out carpet and extremely dirty windows. For that I requested, and got, a reduction in the breakfast charge. Staff pleasant and helpful. Agreed about the carpet and said windows cannot be cleaned because of access constraints. Breakfast room pleasant and a good place to chat with fellow travelers. "

"The staff were so friendly, so helpful--ordering us a taxi, explaining about the Oxford Bus to Heathrow, etc. The concept of turning a prison into a hotel--wow! Our room was fabulous. The whole setting and what has been done with this enormous golden stone building is so imaginative and fun. Great location for walking/shopping in Oxford. Close to everything."

"Traditional hotel with comfortable room. The lighting in my single room needed improvement. Excellent lunch in The Alice and top class afternoon tea in the Drawing Room. Staff at reception exceptionally helpful"

"Very nice hotel on High St. we were on the High St side, so it was a bit noisy. Otherwise great. I’ve booked dozens of hotels outside USA on Expedia, and always had prices quoted in US dollars on the Expedia ap. I didn’t notice that this booking was in £GBP. That adds 35% to an already expensive stay. BEWARE!"
