Room not cleaned well - there were used contact lenses dried up on the bedside table. Shared bathroom shared across two floors, more of a hostel feel.

It’s a 400 yr old building so can’t live up to modern day conveniences/expectations. However, great character overall and well located. Would benefit from some detailed cleaning and overall updating without losing its historical charm.

A great place to stay in Central Oxford for a weekend, plus we needed to drop off luggage early and the contact was very helpful. Note that the hotel is unstaffed for large parts of the time, also being central it was quite noisy at night, but very cosy and clean.

We stayed in the Jade Room, and it was so spacious! My daughter and I had more than enough room to feel comfortable and have our own space. The room included a closet, a makeup table, and tea and coffee, which I especially appreciated in the morning. The location is fantastic—within easy walking distance to many of the main areas we all come to visit in Oxford, with plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby, and a Tesco not too far away. We were about a 15 minute walk to the train station, though it honestly felt even shorter. We arrived a few hours earlier than expected, and with just a quick call, the owner allowed us early access to the room so we could store our luggage and start exploring the area right away.

We had a 1 night stop-over at Tower House. The hotel was cosy and comfortable, and the room had all the facilities we needed. It's right in the centre of Oxford so easy access to pretty much everything. The nearest car park is a short walk away. No breakfast on offer but there are plenty of cafes nearby.

Really central. Great choice if you’re happy to have a small but decently set up room in the centre of Oxford. Bed was comfortable and the place was clean and well kept especially considering what an old building it is.

The tower hotel should not be described as a hotel as it’s more a hostel. I stayed here for one night 22nd may 2025 as it was a few minutes walk from a theatre I was going to. The room was disgusting, holes in walls , the ceiling about to come down, the sheet around the bottom of the bed was filthy, radiators hanging off the wall , a chair that if I’d dared to sit on would have fallen through. The whole place needs gutting & redone. I’d have driven home & not stayed but didn’t fancy a 2 hour drive after the theatre & being tired. This place is a disgrace.
