Top Sheldonian Theatre Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed my 3 night stay.. supper convenient.. and really cool hotel.. use to be part of a prison.."

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."

The Buttery Hotel

8/10 Good

"What a great location! It was very hot and even without AC we were comfortable as the fan provided was quiet and effective. The only reason it didn't get all 5 stars are the steps needed to climb to get into the hotel. That said it is Oxford and we hope to stay there again."

Old Parsonage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The cutest hotel in a great location. Restaurant is excellent and the staff are incredibly friendly!"

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely lovely hotel. Staff and location were excellent."

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cute room, clean facilities, kind staff."

voco Oxford Spires by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice bed. Rooms are on the small side. Bathroom was good size and had a tall bathtub. We loved the room view if the horse sanctuary (6-8 horses) roaming around on the sanctuary, right in front our window. Nice restaurant and bar. Nice pool. "

Vanbrugh House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good hotel, central location, no lift, a little tired and in need of a refresh. Not the height of luxury, but a good hotel bang in the centre. We had a top floor standard room, which was sweltering, no air con, 2 small fans, took 3 hours to get to sleep. 1st and ground floor were far cooler. This alone would put me off staying again during the summer."
