Top Carfax Tower Hotel Reviews

Ethos Hotel – Oxford City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Clean room. Breakfast very nice and reasonable. Last but not least the staff were very good. Helpful and friendly."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Car parking extremely limited and tight spaces. Plus it’s in the congestion charging zone which should have been highlighted. Staff didn’t stow bags securely before check in. Nice rooms, clean and good amenities."

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay for weekend in Oxford"

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

8/10 Good

"The first night was tough. My room was on the ground floor next to an extremely noisy neighbour , slamming doors every 5 minutes to their friends room then back. The preceding repeated until 12am. The second night was even worse, their girlfriends joined them so more visitings in between rooms with slamming doors plus yelling in Chinese. I couldn’t take it anymore so the front desk called them to calm down but it didn’t work. I wanted to switch rooms but was told it’s fully booked. After I pleaded for few more minutes, the night manager moved me to a room that was reserved for another guest. That night I finally find peace. I appreciated the effort the staff made to accommodate my situation. Other things I can think of was that the bed was more comfortable on the higher floor I moved to than the ground floor."

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are very small."

The Head of the River

10/10 Excellent

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

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."

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."
