Royal Oxford Hotel

Closer to the train station, room was clean and friendly staff

Its location

It’s misleading from photos. It’s a facade and unless you look closely you won’t realise that it is no longer a grand hotel and a shop is where the apparent entrance would have originally been. The real entrance is around the side and very unimposing. Also whilst I knew there were no lifts and I had requested a low floor bedroom due to previous reviews, it was still a good flight of stairs to the room ( 21 if i remember correctly ) I was told that there was no problem, as there was always someone on the desk to help with luggage etc. But when I checked in I had to wait about 5 minutes for someone available to bring it. This obviously isn’t normally a problem for most, but as I had to check out very early to catch a train to go to Heathrow, I really had no confidence that there would be someone on the desk who could assist in moving my suitcase very early in the morning. So I ended up checking out the night before. It’s a basic hotel despite the name, though the price does reflect this.

Great location, easy to walk to the many attractions of Oxford. It is clean, comfortable & quiet. We would happily stay here again.

Generous room size. Great location.

Very firm bed.

Very conveniently located.

Very small. No elevator.

Breakfasts, although not part of the hotel, but attached. A bit cold, had a eggs benedict. Choice, limited. full English, no real bacon or sausage? Dissapointing
