Top Bodleian Library Hotel Reviews

Vanbrugh House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very comfortable and clean the lighting was very dark but great location very central to explore Oxford town"

Tower House

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay in this room, The Foundry, at Tower House. We loved the OLDNESS of this 16th century building in the heart of Oxford, nestled in among all the colleges. The entrance is just a door up two steps from the street, just as though it's a private dwelling, and not a hotel. (Note the steps are a bit steep, so not best for those with mobility issues.) Our receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Although he is there part-time, he lives next door and is available by phone or text if needed. Here is a list of what we loved: The ancient beams in the ceiling Lots of shelf and closet space Huge bathroom with large towel heater and nice floor and wall tiles Comfortable bed and linens Large room with desk, chair, and easy chair Ceramic coffee/tea cups and glass drinking glasses Excellent big fan Plenty of lights Afternoon chatter of students in nearby outdoors cafe, but very quiet at night. As former students here, we feel we have found our home in Oxford."

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Ethos Hotel, it is very well positioned for a five/ten minute walk into the centre of Oxford. There is parking available for a charge of £29 per night, with £20 of this price being redeemable in the Ethos Cafe which is available for breakfast, meals and drinks. The rooms are very clean, and towels are changed daily. The Ethos Cafe is very clean too and affordable meals available and is a pleasant place to start the day with a breakfast. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I would recommend this hotel for your stay in Oxford."
