Top Tom Tower Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, room was great and bed was comfortable. Having a bath and fridge in the room was a great addition"

voco Oxford Spires by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were brilliant and polite , the location was perfect for access to the main sites to see . There is a cracking little walk from the hotel to the river which gives you a nice evening walk to the folly bridge to then walk into the main area Only issue I have is the ev car charges need to be upgraded as they were extremely slower than usual , charged for 20 hours and only got 15% in it .. but did see this also on other reviews . The room was very quiet and clean . Definately recommend it , the breakfast was very good also with a big selection ."

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

"Great place,clean and a 10 min walk to the centre. No on site parking but they have spaces on the rd at £29.00 per night...."

The Head of the River

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, great food, and clean rooms."

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to the University. Staff was helpful. Roof top bar pleasant place to relax."

Vanbrugh House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with an incredible location right near the center of the city. The rooms were spacious and clean. Will definitely seek to stay here again."

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent helpful staff, beautiful room, comfortable bed but the pillows were flat as pancakes. Tight squeeze between the wall and bed. Gorgeous bathroom with AC and elevator 💗"

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay at this grand old hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Gave me some tooth care kits when I realised I'd forgotten my toothpaste. The room was huge, clean and very comfortable with everything I could possibly need. Only slight issue was the tv functionality wasn't great, a few channels didn't work and casting wasn't working at all, but nothing major. If you are here to see the sights of oxford it's perfectly positioned for walking, public transport, shops, even a cinema. Lots of restaurants very close and the Ashmoleum is directly opposite. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, thank you"

Old Bank Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I chose this hotel based on its location and other reviews and was not disappointed. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff - we arrived before check-in time but were offered a complimentary coffee before we headed back out again after leaving our cases. When we returned, our cases were already in our room and were shown around our room. An à la carte breakfast is provided in the Quod restaurant which we made use of every day. Home made biscuits, fresh milk, ground coffee, tea and bottled water in our room were replaced every day. The air conditioning was excellent - so simple to operate as well. There is an optional 5% service charge on check out but I had no qualms at all in paying this as the staff are so brilliant at making this hotel so special. We will certainly choose to stay here again should we return to Oxford in future."
