3 Star hotel? Are you kidding me?

Advantages: Close to city centre, cheap compared with other hotels
Disadvantages: Thin walls, poor/no service, no cleaning, cold shower, paltry breakfast

...my parents in Oxford in Victoria House Hotel, seeing that it promised satin and silk and all sorts of luxuries in their website and leaflets, and it was very close to city centre. My parents were VERY unhappy with it and I feel it's important to reflect their views. - Booking the hotel was pretty troublesome. My dad rang twice and I rang twice and finally I got through to the receptionist. His English wasn't very good so it was difficult to get ...
...my questions. I eventually managed to book a room but had to give him my credit card details. - The website promised £69 a night for a double room (2 guests) but when my parents arrived, the surly receptionist pointed to a board on the wall that said £80 a night. When I asked her why the price had changed, she said she didn't know anything about the website. Never mind, my parents had to stay there. To be fair, £80 a night for a double room in Oxford ...

Review of Victoria House Hotel, Oxford

Hotel perfect for exploring oxford

Advantages: Lovely hotel full of character
Disadvantages: Slightly loud extractor fan in the bathroom!

I stayed in this B&B (Its called a hotel, but i would class it more as a B&B) for 1 night whilst on a business trip, and was not disappointed. I was feeling rather energetic at the end of my first day, and as the sun was still shining I decided to get out my map and walk back to the hotel. It is number 100, Banbury road, and it took me around 20 minutes to walk from the main part of the town, and I foudn it very easily, it was literally just a straight ...
...drive there. I rung the bell on the reception desk and a very friendly lady took my details and walked me up to my room, which was lovely. It wasn't massively huge, but big enough for me, and they had very kindly upgraded me from a single to a double room for no extra cost because they were quiet on that night, how nice of them! The bed was extremely comfy, and the room was well equipped with a wardrobe, 2 bedside cabinets, full-length mirror, dressing ...

Review of Parklands Hotel, Oxford

The Other Half...

Advantages: You've never eaten so well
Disadvantages: You've never paid so much to eat so well

...Blanc’s famous hotel and restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, in Great Milton, Oxfordshire. We also turned this into a celebration of my brother-in-law’s successful completion of the London Marathon in 4 hours and 37 minutes (good on him!) -------------------------------- Yes, I know… -------------------------------- …that Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons is a hotel. However, the restaurant is promoted for non-residents, ...
...have tea. Tea at Le Manoir isn’t just a cup of the old PG tips! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Experience ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We were served tea and delicious home made biscuits in one of the lounges (and yes, we did pay extra for the tea, it was not part of the package) – we sat by a bay window. There are three or four rooms (maybe even five) that serve as lounges – some are smoking, some are non-smoking, but they ...

Review of Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons, Oxford

Martin Stanton

Advantages: Location, reasonable breakfast, helpful staff
Disadvantages: not as good as the hype, tired, needs a good clean & decoration

I made a booking for a couple of nights and fouled up the arrival date, they called me around the time I had said we would arrive and they were very good about it and when we did arrive (a day later) they didn't try to charge me for an extra day, (which they could have done as the foul up was my fault). That aside, don't be fooled by the website that shows the rooms as being modern and trendy, the room we had was basic, poorly decorated with a power ...
...furniture, but overall this is not worth £80 a night. The whole place needs re decorating and a thorough clean ........ suspect the website was created by the previous owners just after the re furnishing had been done ...... it needs doing again ...... noisy rooms at the front too ...... convenient for finding and getting into & out of Oxford, but overall quite dissapointing ..........avoid. ...

Review of Red Mullions, Oxford

No mum it's not a petrol station, it's the Holiday Inn Oxford.

Advantages: Great Price. Good location for roads. Next to park and ride, cheaper than paying for parking!
Disadvantages: Another Holiday Inn, nothing that unique about it. Surly reception staff.

...so we found ourselves at Holiday Inn Oxford. Booking I booked the hotel at www.holidayinn.co.uk as part of their summer promotion. The rate was half price at £49 a night including breakfast which for Oxford in the heart of summer was cheap. The credit crunch certainly has provided us with LOTS of bargains! Once booked I received an e-mail confirmation and all was completed. Arrival The hotel is based outside oxford just off the A34. It is ...
...contemporary style and were typical Holiday Inn carbon copy hotel rooms. Everyone a replica of the other. The room was fitted with the following, *A double bed with average linen. There was a pillow selection menu allowing you to order your favourite pillow from reception. The bed on the whole was comfortable but the mattress was a bit hard. *32” LCD TV with full selection of satellite channels and on-demand movies. *Wired broadband connection @ ...
