Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

8/10 Good

"Very good staff and interesting rooms."

voco Oxford Thames by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel is nice, and the rooms are comfy and clean. The property has a nice character. The downsides are the rooms are very noisy and walls are paper thin. The wifi threw you off every 10 to 15 mins for our entire stay. Even when not busy it took nearly 10 mins to be served at the bar. The hotel did apologise for some of the issues and give a voucher, but regreattbly it didn't solve the wifi issue or the fact it was even noisier the next night. "

Malmaison Oxford

8/10 Good

"Stayed one night, room was nice - clean and spacious, lovely bathroom and amenities. Had the breakfast the next day and it was one of the nicest hotel breakfasts I've had. Lots of choice included. Only personal gripe is that the website doesn't highlight that some rooms are only accessible via stairs (think they might have been putting in a lift at the time) I would have booked different rooms within the hotel if I'd realised but that wouldn't be an issue for most people."

Holiday Inn Oxford by IHG

8/10 Good

"Convenient location with plenty of parking (albeit £8 per night), clean & tidy, very good buffet breakfast as well as lunch and dinner dining options. Unfortunatley our room was one floor above the gym and we could hear every grunt and thump and footstep on the treadmill, so make sure to check! Other than that would have no hesitation in returning."
