Gets the job done

The AC was good which was a nice change after the last 2 hotels where we could never get the rooms cool (and those were very nice hotels). And despite being on an active street it was super quiet. Our sheets has some stains on them. The shower didn't maintain temp and the drain seemed to be clogged a bit. After a short the shower, the bottom was almost overflowing.

The staff were very friendly, and we had a comfortable stay. The amenities were excellent as well. Since it’s on a street with many restaurants, the noise at night was a bit noticeable, but apart from that, I was very satisfied.

Compact room, clean and with all you need for a one night stay. Very easy check in process and friendly member of staff. Very centrally located and street was a little noisy in the morning due to deliveries etc. but not a huge issue. Would stay here again 👍

My wife and I spent a night here at the end of July. We had asked for a room on the first floor, which we given. Check-in was quick and easy. The room, whilst small, had all the aminities necessary, including a kettle with branded tea and coffee, sugar and sweetners, sachets of milk in the mini fridge and two biscuits. There were also two cans of still water in the fridge. There was also a 32-inch flat-screen TV and Free WiFi which worked well.The bathroom toiletries were by L'Occitane and there were plenty of towels provided. The central location was excellent for seeing the city sights. It was only five minute walk to the bus station and a food market was just around the corner. I was particularly impressed by the amount of information provided by the hotel prior to our arrival, infrming me of ID to bring, local parking facilities, check-in time, etc. If we visit Oxford again I will certainly consider the Bocardo as my place to stay.

Fa bulous

The staff was so accommodating. They went out of their way and that is important to us. The king sized bed was so comfortable. The location is perfect to reach everything. The only negative would be the lack of an elevator so you need to be comfortable climbing stairs.

Old hotel with spacious and clean rooms

When we first walked into the hallways, we thought they looked a bit like a dorm. But when we went into the room, we were impressed. Large rooms, well kept and clean. Our only issue was the A/C kept going off and we woke up hot. But the temps were around 30C and they might have been working too hard.

Friendly and helpful staff, a fan was placed in my room before arrival which was considerate as this was the hottest day of the year so far. Amenities were fine, room included an ironing board and iron, small fridge, TV with great channel selection and lovely L'Occitane bathroom products. Linens and towels were clean. There were a few things that could be improved though - the air conditioning unit leaked when in use and long after use, and the bed had been pulled away from the wall to allow for the leak to drip onto the carpet (although some still did drip onto the duvet). Some items such as the TV remote and the iron weren't very clean. The toilet seat had fallen off one of its hinges and some of the bathroom tiles had large cracks in them. The sash windows could be opened, but there was no way of keeping them open without holding them. I'm used to small UK city centre hotel rooms but the room was extremely small for the amount paid - not great value for money. Bed was comfortable and I had a good night's sleep, plenty of hot water in the morning - overall satisfactory but a few things that could be improved.
