No staff on site and trying to find the door in was a bit of a chore as it’s Aaron’s the corner on Circus St. Room was very clean and done up nicely. No air conditioning so that could be a significant issue. They had a fan going and temps dropped a bit during the night so we werefine

I had a wonderful stay at the Mad Hatter! It was a convenient walk to shops, the Christ Church Meadow, restaurants, etc. The eccentric decorations on the property were adorable. The hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. Pro Tip: make sure you do the virtual check-in before you are too jetlagged to understand the instructions! I made the mistake of not handling the check-in until the last minute and I was so tired and confused that I had trouble with understanding the email and completing the check-in The staff was extremely kind and patient with me.

Fabulous hotel, great stay

The hotel was amazing! Ideally situated Lovely themed rooms, very quirky and brilliantly authentic. Spacious, clean, comfortable and great facilities. The staff were attentive and responded swiftly and positively to our communications about the booking. Attention to detail and an even a kind gift for my daughter’s birthday. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely room, although extremely hot in Summer. We were grateful for a large fan left in the room. The staff were quite standoffish and we felt like we were a hassle asking for anything, so that is the main reason we didn't give this 4/5.

Good location within Oxford. The room was clean ans presentable with a comfortable bed and good size. This place would have gotten a 4 or even 5* review if it weren't for the loud music playing from downstairs. We were told this would stop at midnight, and so we made sure to stay out until past midnight. However, even returning at 1am, the music was still incredibly loud and bassy into the room, up until 2am. Do not stay here if you intend to sleep before 2am.

The hotel room was extremely clean, comfortable and nicely updated. The area is walkable and close to the High Street area. The only draw back is there is a bar on the first floor and stays open very late. Very loud.

I stayed two nights in the week and really enjoyed my stay, everyone was friendly, the room was lovely and the location great. There is a bar downstairs so I expected some noise and I could hear the music, but it finished between 11 and 11:30 when I stayed so I didn't find it disruptive. I really liked the decoration in the rooms, very nicely thought out, I'd stay again.

Love the Alice in Wonderland theme. We stayed in Alice’s Chambers, all blue and white, very charming and pretty. Everything was newly renovated and impressive. Fabulous shower with TWO shower heads and push-button temperature control. Very nice bathroom, although there was no outlet … is this a UK thing? We’re 1 for 4 so far on bathrooms with an outlet. Comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, lots of outlets, big TV, no on-site staff but excellent by-phone service when the Wifi needed to be reset. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and an easy walk to the Botannic Garden, the Covered Market, a large park with a great view of the city, and the train station. On the less good side, there’s no elevator and three flights of stairs with our heavy luggage was not fun. We tried to message them ahead of time for assistance, but Expedia said the mailbox was full and could not accept more messages. There’s a bar on the ground floor, very noisy at night until the live music stops - 10:00 one night, midnight the next.
