Comfortable bed in a smaller, but cozy room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Aug 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This old building shows its medieval age clearly, but the room (we had The Foundry on the first floor) has been updated beautifully. Huge hand hewn beams still adorn the ceiling, but the room itself is spacious, the bathroom is very nice, and we had a very comfortable home for three nights. Perfect neighborhood, right near The Broad, but far enough to avoid the crowds. Also right near the Covered Market. What more do you want? We will definitely rebook next time we're in Oxford. ##### Heather Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irving Apr 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed this 17th C. guest house. Although dating from 1600, it was up to date with 21st C. standards. Our only mishap was that the central heating was not functioning in the main bedroom, but there was a space heater which helped keep the room warmer during our chilly early April stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, but bear in mind that someone is available at reception only at 3:00 pm. Centrally located, we enjoyed our stay at the Tower House. ##### Irving Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jun 15, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service #### Great location, not great quality I never met the person working there. I got my keys from the cleaning lady and no information whatsoever. I had to look for the shared bathroom myself and find out how the locks worked. There was mold in the shower. However, the room was a good size and the location was excellent. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kirsty Feb 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Great location and lovely character property It was a brief stop over to visit our daughter. We were met on arrival and checked in. On entering our room it was like stepping into a sauna so we turned the heating off in the bedroom but we couldn’t turn off in the bathroom. The room could do with some general maintenance as the light behind the mirror in the bathroom didn’t work and neither did one of the bedside lamps. The showergel dispenser in the shower needed refilling. We had a pleasant stay, the hotel is very old and therefore due to the age of the property there are a few creaky floorboards and you can hear people moving around the property. Outside noise was quiet. ##### Kirsty Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Martin Oct 15, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Oxford trip Right from the outset the guy on the desk really couldn’t care less, maybe a student earning easy money. The 3 rooms we all booked were just disgusting on every level , mould, ripped wall paper, filthy carpets and holes and damage in the walls. It was so bad that we took a video of the room as evidence of how shocking the quality was as there was actually a hole in the wall! The “so called” bathroom was full of mould and damage in every area. The bed was appalling we did not get one minute of sleep as it was so small and uncomfortable. We booked two nights( and had prepaid an extortionate price) but we left after one night as we couldn’t stand the low standard for one further night…. I have no idea how the past reviews were generated but I would certainly question the source of these….. I travel a great deal with my work and this is the worst place I have stayed in by a country mile….this is also the first time I have complained through hotels.com so I leave it up to you on your choice ……. ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew Jun 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness This was definitely an interesting stay… We arrived at our check in time and the two teenagers at reception seemed to be very confused. They couldn’t find our booking at first and then I think realized they’d put someone in our room but didn’t want to say anything. They had been left in charge but it was clear they were not equipped to handle this on their own. We get into our room and get settled then head out for dinner and an Evensong at Christ Church. We get a call saying they’ve put us in the wrong room and that we have to come back immediately, which we couldn’t do. Long story short, we cut our night out a good bit short so that we could go back and take care of the room situation. I don’t blame the kids, they weren’t equipped to handle the situation, but they absolutely shouldn’t have been left in charge. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jennifer Sep 24, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I was booked in for a two night stay. On arrival, I was not happy with the condition of the room. It appeared that there had been a leak on the floor above the room, with a damp area around the bed and wallpaper peeling from above the bed. There was unpleasant mould in the bathroom and a horrible damp smell. The check in staff assisted me to find an alternative room, which was an improvement, and I paid a supplement for this room. However, I was woken in the night by the blind falling off the wall. I couldn’t reattach the filthy blind. The room was tired and unclean, with dirty marks on the wall. There was no shower - only a bath with a Pyrex jug for washing. I checked out after only one night and have received no response from the hotel team to my requests for a refund for the second night. Yes, it’s cheap for Oxford, but it’s not worth the money saved. Avoid! ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Isabella Oct 25, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room not cleaned well - there were used contact lenses dried up on the bedside table. Shared bathroom shared across two floors, more of a hostel feel. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ec5b58c-cfbd-41b2-8c18-36c5dd37b182-1761375665157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/785f8eb7-ea60-4c3a-8810-af6402c8b56f-1761375665549.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/298de9f9-22aa-4b39-a9e1-7098e2feadb2-1761375664740.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Isabella Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s a 400 yr old building so can’t live up to modern day conveniences/expectations.

My daughter and I had more than enough room to feel comfortable and have our own space. The room included a closet, a makeup table, and tea and coffee, which I especially appreciated in the morning. The location is fantastic—within easy walking distance to many of the main areas we all come to visit in Oxford, with plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby, and a Tesco not too far away. We were about a 15 minute walk to the train station, though it honestly felt even shorter. We arrived a few hours earlier than expected, and with just a quick call, the owner allowed us early access to the room so we could store our luggage and start exploring the area right away. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e7783309-5151-477e-b6bb-786c6ffde101-1748545765318.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9cd82e6b-63b9-4095-a548-1daf0f6b0072-1748545766474.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fcc2c67f-bea9-4141-b1e9-f33f62a1c01e-1748545763802.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba15687d-5bd5-4c4c-b1c7-a3adb5668d96-1748545764106.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Wendy K Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ellen May 27, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Slechte kamer, slecht bed gedeelde vieze douche ##### Ellen Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Deborah May 24, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The tower hotel should not be described as a hotel as it’s more a hostel. I stayed here for one night 22nd may 2025 as it was a few minutes walk from a theatre I was going to. The room was disgusting, holes in walls , the ceiling about to come down, the sheet around the bottom of the bed was filthy, radiators hanging off the wall , a chair that if I’d dared to sit on would have fallen through. The whole place needs gutting & redone. I’d have driven home & not stayed but didn’t fancy a 2 hour drive after the theatre & being tired. This place is a disgrace. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/218abcd5-bba8-44e8-8ac4-f3bf0a6eab2a-1748071100431.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c00e43a1-83d3-4b49-9764-94543e4c2653-1748071100513.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8afa2745-857f-4658-a5cd-dfe6ea877fba-1748071100564.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68bcc1a2-3fcf-41d6-9f31-7eedc74a0e26-1748071100736.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Baileys-Hotel-London.h523223.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
