The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, close to everything. Gorgeous hotel and rooms! And staff very friendly and attentive. Only complaint is we felt the parking charge per night is very expensive, we only realised it wasn’t included in our stay on the way there so ended up doing the park and ride instead. Overall would recommend and will definitely be returning for our next visit "
