Top Balliol College Hotel Reviews

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Ideal location for getting the bus into Oxford. Room size, layout and furniture all good. Mattress too hard for me (not a great night's sleep) but fine for my husband. Ceiling cobwebs. Bathroom door needed cleaning. Sink cracked. Bathroom otherwise beautifully clean. Nice toiletries. Wi-fi very patchy. Staff were good and attentive."

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."

George Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent helpful staff, beautiful room, comfortable bed but the pillows were flat as pancakes. Tight squeeze between the wall and bed. Gorgeous bathroom with AC and elevator 💗"

Wadham College Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"The room was neat and clean. It was a quiet and peaceful room. I loved staying there. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast. It was well-organised and fresh. The staff at the reception and also in the breakfast hall were kind, supportive and friendly."

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!"

Premier Inn Oxford City Centre - Westgate

8/10 Good

"The staff were very helpful and professional."
