Royal Oxford Hotel

Great location arriving by train, just a short walk. Staff friendly and welcoming. Our family room was spacious and clean. Easy walk to town. Would recommend.

Nothing

Double extra glazing made it wonderfully quiet. Comfortable bed. Everything clean Staff excellent

Hard to beat location if arriving and departing by train. Also just a stone throw away from attractions.

Slightly dated though everything functions as it should be. The price is a bit high but maybe it is seasonal.

Staff were polite. The pillows and beds were comfortable.

I simply can't get away from the price. Assume they use "surge pricing" model. They should have put a cap on that, because when I'm paying £250 I expect at least breakfast, and some soundproofing between rooms. Early this morning I could hear peop;le dragging their suitcases down the corridor, could hear the actual words of a conversation in the room next door, and when they plugged an appliance into the socket I thought for a moment there was someone in our room. It's a bleak room without any pictures, white paint and a little plastic tray of instant coffee - ok I don't actually mind that but everything comes back to the price. When we checked in I asked if there was any breakfast. He said no there's no breakfast. We accordingly planned to leave on the earlier train, but I would have changed plans if i'd known the very nice looking cafe which was right next door, was open and serving breakfast - obviously what he meant was that's not included in the price, but it was annoying. Overall, at maybe £100 I would have said that was a good standard of cleanliness, comfortable enough and acceptable and this would be getting an 8.5 from me. As it is, I will endeavour never to stay there again.
