Top Balliol College Hotel Reviews

The Buttery Hotel

8/10 Good

"It's a lovely hotel in a listed building so no lift just winding stairs so it's probably not for people with limited mobility or vast amounts of luggage although the manager did get a member of staff to carry my case to my room while I was checking in. The stairs aside, it was clean and the staff were really friendly. It's right in the centre of Oxford, so is handy for all the city centre shops, restaurants and museums. Although there is no room for a restaurant the hotel has negotiated a discount in the next door cafe (which does a great full English Breakfast) and also a nearby Italian restaurant for dinner."

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful all around!"

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Best location in Oxford. Love the roof top bar. Great for photos. Sunday roast delicious. Amazing Spa & Gym. And lounge loved using throughout the day. Perfect hotel best staff!!! Thank you"

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fourth stay at this modest, well located hotel. We always get a warm welcome from front desk staff, and they have good suggestions for local food and drink. This is just steps away from the Ashmolean museum, and right near a bus stop for easy transport around the town. But most places of interest to us are in walking distance. excellent value for price in this expensive town!"

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel. Staff were excellent. Beds very comfortable but the room had poor lighting, it was very dim!"

10/10 Excellent

"Very charming traditional small hotel with beautiful toile furnished chambers and lovely common rooms. The food at the restaurant was delicious and bar stayed open late. Great location and very quiet. will look forward to my return."

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed for one night in a privilege room. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was a basic self service buffet and everything was fresh and well presented. At the time of visiting there was no restaurant for lunch and the bar wasn’t open for an evening drink. As a handy place to stay while exploring Oxford the hotel is ideally placed to walk into town. Would recommend."
