"The ground floor room was comfortable and adequate for our two night stay. There was some traffic noise from the busy main road, but it wasn’t too much of an issue. The hotel is situated close to the bus stop where there are frequent buses into the city centre."

"I enjoy a hotel that makes you feel like the location… not some generic place that looks the same in every location. The Porterhouse was great in that regard, made me feel like I was in Oxford. Clean and comfy room and great location. Staff was great and helpful in every way! Breakfast was nice. I would definitely stay again!"

"Fabulous hotel and absolutely perfect for us including for my son who is a wheelchair user. Great having room on the ground floor and plenty of space for him to manoeuvre including at breakfast time. Staff gave 11O% offering help by bringing items to our table at breakfast as I was helping my son.
Disabled parking right next to the entrance. Perfect quiet location just a short drive from Oxford centre. Will definitely return and thanks to an amazing team who are so attentive and friendly."
"This is an iconic hotel. The rooms are clean and modern and the staff are friendly and welcoming. However the star of the show is the ‘prison’ backdrop which manages to make you feel like a hotel guest without feeling like a guest of his majesty."
"Everything was great- very quiet location, excellent breakfast, daily housekeeping for fresh towels and sheets and helpful staff.
There was a little problem with the TV not working but it was resolved the next day."
