Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection
The room was clean and well-presented. The bed was too firm for our liking but otherwise everything was great.

easyhotel Oxford
I had a day meeting down Norham Gardens and Summerton is walkable. This is a hotel that is high spec in many ways but is cheap because there are no extras like breakfast. I like Gail's and there is one across the road for baked eggs then walk it off:) Since I just want a comfortable night's sleep ...

Cotswold Lodge Hotel
The staff were very friendly. We stayed at this hotel, as we drove from Surrey and parking was included, unlike most hotels in the area. We were very happy with our stay and would return to his hotel if we come back to Oxford.

The Galaxie
This is a gorgeous hotel with plenty of character and a decent location in the North of Oxford, near shops and eateries. As it is a quirky old building, you do hear the footsteps shuffling of your upstairs neighbours, but I would return if ever in town again.

St. Margaret's Hotel
Clean room, great breakfast options, wish breakfast was served earlier (I didn't get to eat the second day due to time constraints).
