Westgate Hotel

The location.

*A Hotel That Forgot It’s a Hotel – Save Your Money.* I stayed three nights at the Westgate Hotel in Oxford, lured by a rate 25% cheaper than nearby hotels. Now I understand why. This isn’t a hotel—it’s a budget hostel with a reception desk and a shocking lack of self-awareness. Let’s dissect the scam: "Breakfast included" means: - Coffee (acceptable, but hard to mess up). - "Juice" that could pass for industrial coolant. - A defrosted or pre-packaged Lidl/Aldi croissant—because nothing says hospitality like supermarket leftovers. Upgrade to real food? Pay extra. Because why would a hotel actually feed you? Parking? Technically, yes—for £12.50/day in a nearby lot (cheap for Oxford, but don’t confuse that for convenience). If you need an on-site car park, look elsewhere. This place won’t have one until the next ice age. Now, the rooms—or as I call them, "the betrayal": - Shared bathrooms down the hall (because privacy is overrated). - No fridge, no water, no toiletries—not even the bare minimum you’d get in a prison cell. - A vibe of "we converted a crumbling townhouse and called it an annexe." The staff? Charming, polite, utterly powerless to fix the fact that this "hotel" is a bait-and-switch. Final verdict: If you’re okay with paying for a subpar Airbnb experience with a fake hotel badge, go ahead. Otherwise, Oxford has real hotels—book one.

Die Sauberkeit

Dünne Decke, es war kalt, kein Bad im Zimmer, nicht einmal am gleichen Stock.

Ubicación perfecta junto a la Oxford Train Station y muy cerca del centro. Desyuno ok. Personal muy bien.

The room was absolutely freezing when arriving, the heating only comes 9n at 16h and even after several hours thr room was barely warm. The "breakfast included was only a light option and would have had to add £7 for a very basic cooked breakfast. The shower pressure was very low and even cut out a few times. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and behind the main door. The kettle barely fit in the sink so could hardly fill it. They had put a barrier against the windows to cut out the construction noise from outside - a generator was running all night.

Bedden waren goed, badkamer prima, ontbijt heerlijk. Vriendelijke eigenaar

Je moet je beste oordoppen meenemen want er staat een generator buiten 24/7 aan, wegens werkzaamheden aan de nieuwe spoorbrug. Daar kan het hotel personeel absoluut niks aan doen, die mag je echt niet de schuld geven. Ze zijn de wanhoop ook nabij en zitten al 2 jaar met deze herrie.

Location was great - 10 minute walk from Cornmarket Street. Sam and his dad were really helpful, and Sam gave me great tips where to visit (Thanks, Sam). Breakfast was great. Room cozy and comfortable. Hotel bar an added bonus.

N/A

Hay una construcción MUY ruidosa a 3 metros.
