• Szilvia (9/5): Great location, lovely friendly staff, clean room. - Great location, lovely friendly staff, clean room.
• Ciceri (8/5): -
• Sverre (8/5): -
• Lee (5/5): Centrally located and the bed was ok. Decor was outdated, the entrance was uninspiring and the bathroom was in need of a - Central location The entrance, out dated decor, bathroom
• Brett (8/5): Location was perfect loved our stay - Location was primo Street noise but that comes with the location finally stopped around 1am
• Angela (8/5): Fantástica ubicación - Amplitud de la habitación. Es un edificio antiguo, pero lo han Arreglado. Super bien ubicado. Es un lugar para dormir porque las instalaciones son solo para eso. Demasiadas escaleras estrechas y sin ascensor.
• Robert (6/5): -
• Guenther (7/5): -
• Vincenzo (10/5): -
• alfonso (6/5): - La sua posizione centrale Non potete classificare questo hotel 4 stelle !! Il lavandino così piccolo che neanche in una roulotte
• Rocio (5/5): - La ubicación es muy buena Las ventanas no son buenas y se oye todo el ruido de la calle. Dicen que hay recepción 24h pero están siempre en otro hotel, tienes que llamar a un telefonillo y vienen. La entrada es complicada con maletas (todo escaleras) y la ducha bastante incómoda.
• Cook (8/5): Great location in the heart of Oxford but challenging to reach by car. - Great location and kind staff Really challenging to access property via car due to city’s recent car access restrictions downtown. Had to pay a car fee bc we dropped off disabled person in front of the hotel and forced to park overnight transit car park miles away.
• Ellen (9/5): - Great location. Very helpful, friendly staff. Everything we expected.
• Martina (9/5): -
• egbenya (9/5): -
• Alan (10/5): - The staff were very helpful and our very pleasant indeed and looked after our luggage before check-in and after check-out.
• Leanne (9/5): -
• Jonathan (5/5): Disappointing and overpriced - I was met and given a pleasant introduction The room was clean, but seriously tired. The pillows were hard and the shower had good hot water, but the drain was blocked.
• Janice (8/5): - Really friendly and helpful staff. Great location near the bus station. Comfortable room. Appreciated the L'Occitane amenities and the biscuits + tea and coffee. Due to the small shower stall and the design of the controls, it's hard to avoid some initial cold water when having a warm shower. Fortunately, the shower room itself is well-heated.
• Anna (6/5): -
• Yvonne (9/5): Highly recommended, clean and tidy, central location. - The central location made it perfect for our stay. From check in to check out everything was good. The room was clean, warm and well furnished. The staff could not have been more helpful. Would definitely stay again. Nothing really, except maybe the fact there were many stairs to climb and carry our bags up and down.
• Lisa (8/5): -
• Chris (8/5): -
• Hester (9/5): -
• Karst (7/5): Prima hotel in het midden van de stad - Het personeel was vriendelijk en dacht goed mee. De kamer was ook erg schoon en er was een airconditioner (maar deze hadden we niet nodig). Met het raam dicht was er weinig geluid van de straat te horen. Er miste een paar faciliteiten en de badkamervloer was ijskoud, ook de wasbak was erg klein. Het bed was ook een beetje klein
• Katia (6/5): -
• Wei (10/5): 基本满足了我们的出行要求。 - 地理位置非常好，楼下街两旁很多饭馆，可步行去很多景点。 预订时没有关于是否有电梯的告知，房间在3楼，对长途旅行拿大行李不方便上下。好在前台服务生可以帮忙拿行李。
• Zajacz (8/5): -
• Nicola (10/5): Excellent hotel positioned in the centre of oxford with access to the theatre we loved it - location was incredible nothing it was perfect
• Rachel (6/5): Average - Location The stretcher bed that was provided. I thought that I would have been given a normal bed for the price. The bed was also made up with the mattress upside down and I could feel the springs so had to remake myself and turn up the right way.
• Marcia (9/5): The staff lovely - Good beds Price
• Helen (7/5): Great but couldn’t wait to get back to peace and quiet and a good sleep - Great location and easy to get to The front rooms on George St are v noisy and so v poor sleep
• Victor (10/5): Clean and convenient. - I love how convenient the location is. Bed was very comfy and the room were kept clean. It would’ve been good if there was a Lift even for the luggage.
• Akhilesh (5/5): -
• Melanie (7/5): Ok place to stay for theatre trip - All fine
• James (5/5): -
• Shilpa (8/5): -
• Veronika (10/5): Comfortable place to stay - It is a comfortable hotel in the central part of Oxford, very close to the bus station. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with a comfy bed and a working desk. The staff was very friendly and ready to help There are several peculiarities to consider when booking. First, there is no elevator, and the stairs are pretty steep. If you have heavy luggage, that could be a challenge. Second, there is no breakfast and no common space Still, I will be happy to stay there again None
• Silvia (8/5): Great hotel with excellent location. - Excellent location. Was woken up in tge middle of the night when other person arrived to their room next tp mine.
• hisham (6/5): - Staff were friendly. The room was clean and location was good. The overall quality wasn't the best
• Brian (8/5): -
• AMBER (10/5): Great place to stay - Room was a lovely size, everything was clean. Nice shower and a big bathroom. Staff were great. Friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone. Also location is fantastic. Couldn't fault the place. It was great
• Stavros (5/5): - Location Cleanliness
• Rachel (6/5): -
• Díaz (7/5): Hotel muy bien situado . - Lo que más me gustó fue la situación del hotel Que había que subir muchas escaleras y que la habitación y el cuarto de baño me parecieron demasiado pequeños.
• Lisa (9/5): -
• Betty (8/5): Good hotel - Central location and reasonable price Stairs
• Dave (9/5): Good location, clean room. - The Hotel is in a good location, 10 mins from train station, near the high street, about 30 mins walk from O2 if you are going to a gig. No breakfast but there are places nearby you can go to. Room was clean. The hotel entrance is a bit set back off the street so its easy to walk past it as I did !! Not a negative issue but just keep your eyes open !
• David (9/5): -
• Mick (10/5): Just stayed one night lovely - Great service nice clean room great location 👍
• Raul (10/5): -
• Michael Cadman (5/5): Hotel was fine until you used the bathroom - Didn’t have breakfast Location excellent The bathroom was a disaster. Couldn’t drain the water from the sink or shower not fit for purpose
• Danielle (5/5): - Bien situé Le lit trop petit pour un couple !
• Ksenia (6/5): Zero sound insulation - Good location, not far from the train station. The room was clean and had everything needed for a short stay. I could hear absolutely everything going on on the busy street outside. It was so noisy, barely possible to sleep at all :(.
• Andrew (7/5): -
• Philip (2/5): - There was no way of turning off the main light in the room, with the switches not working. When I reported this to reception they said the only way to deal with this was for me to use the switch on the fuse box each time I wanted to turn it on or off, which also involved me standing on a stool to do this, in the dark for half the time. I don't think this is an acceptable situation in a hotel room, and yet the hotel would not even consider any kind of reimbursement for this
• Alex (6/5): Convenient and practical - I walked from the rail station and therefore the location was perfect. My final venue was the Town hall and it was an easy walk from there as well, even with my recently operated knee, I did not need transport. The room was clean and tidy and the bathroom convenient. Shower and toilet perfect. There are many restaurants and a cinema nearby and you were spoilt for choice to find a place to eat. I have had knee surgery and the climb up to reception carrying my small case was testing. Obviously that does not apply to an able bodied person. The TV Colour was distorted and no matter what I did with the picture setting it stayed that way. The bathroom did not have any room for me to place my toiletries, which I placed on the floor. There was no bedside light, and therefore I had to get up to switch off the light. My window was facing the main street and the noise only subsided well after 12.00 pm. I guess being a student town, this is to be expected even on a Wednesday.
• Sabrina (8/5): - I was very hesitant to book my daughter in this hotel after reading some of the reviews but I am very glad I did! She had a great time and the location was excellent. I am in the hotel industry and My main concern was cleanliness but the room was spotless. The front desk was very helpful and the view from the window was great. In fact we tried to extend another day but unfortunately they were fully booked and we had to move across the street which was more expensive and not nearly as nice! Don’t believe everything you read!
• Gary (8/5): - Great location to city centre but lots of people noise outside and inside late into the night. Otherwise, fine for 1-2 nights.
• filippo (8/5): Bellissimo soggiorno ad Oxford. - La posizione centralissima, vicino a locali, ristoranti e negozi. La pulizia ottimale. Era presente il necessario per una piccola colazione. Bollitore, tazze, acqua. Niente da segnalare.
• Carolyn (10/5): - Location
• David (5/5): -
• Helen (8/5): - Lovely big room spoilt by mould in the shower. Great situation on George Street with everything in walking distance
• Christina (10/5): - We had a great stay! The staff was friendly, the room clean, and great access to everything! It could get a little loud at night, but we were impressed with the sound proofing. In terms of service, my mom forgot her phone, and not only did they call right away, they raced to the train station to make sure we didn’t leave without it! I would definitely come back.
• Michael (8/5): Exactly what was required. I would defo come again! - Location perfect It was great, exactly what I needed.
• Jade (6/5): - It is an old building on a busy street but location is good .
• Marsha (8/5): - Such excellent staff and service. Very convenient location. Shops and restaurants right there. Noise from outside was awful on weekends. Basic but clean and comfortable.
• Narcisa (6/5): -
• Dale (6/5): 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.
• Miyuki (10/5): - 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.
• Mary (8/5): - The hotel was spotless with good WiFi. In an excellent location . Close to bus station . Many good restaurants and shopping near by. The staff were extremely friendly and most helpful. Rooms are tiny but with very nice linensOnly negative was the 2 flights of steep stairs but staff was very willing to help with luggage.

• Trung (10/5): -
• Enzo (8/5): -
• Donald (8/5): Central Oxford hotel - Well positioned and comfortable.
• Malin (3/5): -
• Madie (9/5): Great location great staff - Perfect location, walking distance from station and Oxford centre. Helpful in storing my suitcase before checking in and after I'd checked out. Great staff. Room was fine Nothing. Room would be improved by a bedside light otherwise great
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Jennifer (9/5): -
• Jesper Stahl (7/5): - Beliggenhed Senge og trapper
• Michelle (8/5): - 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 👍
• Elisabet (8/5): -
• McGregor (8/5): -
• McGregor (8/5): -
• DAVID (10/5): - 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.
• Alan (9/5): -
• Pamela (8/5): -
• Alison (8/5): Great convenient hotel - Convenient to town centre. Clean and lots of attention to detail. Our room had very noisy air conditioning and toilet seat did not fit the toilet was too small.
• Msoffe (8/5): Very good - Location and atmosphere
• Erik (10/5): - Right in the heart of Oxford, nice room (small, but everything you need), and a very helpful staff
• William (10/5): - nice basic hotel in a great location.
• Samir (8/5): Very good -
• James (4/5): - Beware, Reception is NOT on Gro
• jorge (10/5): - Great
• Michael (10/5): 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.
• Renee (10/5): - Very friendly and accommodating staff. They have real AC which was much appreciated in the heat wave. Great central location.
• Annie (10/5): Location was great for an Oxford University 1 Day visit. - Location ,room exceptional . Stayed 1 night room 9 which was great no noise. The Air Conditioning was great and much needed as there was floor to ceiling window (without a view). The two very small windows at top were the only two that opened. AIR CON needed. Shower pressure was great.
• Paul (1/5): good location poor service and quality of accommodation, would never stay again - location Reception staft absent for most of the time. Room was dated, many broken things, common parts shabby - looks like a youth hostel
• Seb (7/5): Good -
