"The property was really good. Clean, tidy and well presented. My only issue was that the radiators were not as warm despite being on the highest setting. The bedroom especially was very cold. Another negative is upto now I have not received my deposit back. Surely you should have a system that works for returning deposits back. People are so busy spmetimes one will forget to check that the deposit has been returned back"

Top Headington Shark Hotel Reviews

The Dial House Guest House

8/10 Good

"Four of us stayed in the family room for one night and it was perfect for our needs and in a great location. The room was spacious for four people and very clean. The staff were very helpful. Although, we had 2 cars with us and there is only one parking space per room. We were prepared to park elsewhere but when checking in were told by staff where we could park the second car, which was along a drive next door to the guest house. When returning to the car in the morning there was a note on the car warning us we were parked on private property and could be reported for trespassing. Overall it was a pleasant stay just unfortunate about the parking situation if you are travelling in multiple cars."

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"It's very convenient to have parking spots onsite at the hotel. We parked the car there, walked a few minutes to the bus stop and took the bus right to the Oxford city center. We enjoyed our breakfast there. They have a wide variety of food to choose from. Will certainly stay here again."

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place. Extremely cool design incorporating the old prison and adjacent to the fortress remains. Room was exceptionally nice and breakfast was delicious. Would recommend."

The Store

10/10 Excellent

"Great short stay, will book again. Bar was great."

easyhotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"It was great, had everything we needed, super clean and the people at the desk were super nice. 30 min walk to oxford or you can take the bus for 5 pounds for a day paas or 2.80 single ride. You catch the bus right outside the hotel."

Vanbrugh House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was small but nice. Location is great. Bathroom facilities were very good - shower pressure, etc. TV never worked during our stay but that was minor for us. Very good value priced property."

The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This property has lots of historic pizazz, great dining and lounge spaces and we had a nice large room on the first floor. Great location walkable to the university and most sites. The desk staff was efficient if not overly friendly, as was the wait staff in the lounge. All in all, I would recommend and stay here again"

Conifers Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The was clean, comfortable. Available parking. Helpful staff"

Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel appears to have had a fresh renovation and the staff weren’t just welcoming but very hospitable as if they were welcoming you into their personal home. The hotel was in an ideal location for us with a very reasonable cost. Ideal because it is slightly away from the main road but close enough to the bus line to take you back and forth to city center and to Magdalen College which is also walkable from the hotel (8-10min). Many eatery options nearby. A couple of things to note; 1. There is a pub across the street that sometimes plays loud music but during respectable hours and we enjoyed the local flavor. 2. There is a lift to the 2nd floor only but we had help with our bags up and down the 3rd floor. The lift is a true lift that you must hold the button continuously to rise and lower to the floor you want. Then you open the door to exit. A bit manual sorta like the wheelchair lifts for stages. I most definitely would choose this hotel again and again."
