2-Star Hotels in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

This hotel self rates as 2 stars - room was small, no bath, small sink, desk, only stool no chair. Nothing else. Shared bath. If you are on tight budget & this is what you want, then it’s ok. Conveniently located by train station. Negatives: internet was unacceptably slow. Carpets in common areas dirty and need a deep clean. A paint job would make common areas more presentable. Stairs extremely narrow and steep. Continental breakfast included; staff friendly, helpful except for one grumpy individual.

Great breakfast included. A nice selection too. Near some lovely shops a great pub near by and bus routes couple minutes walk. Clean room nice and fresh. Price was very good. Will definitely be back again.

There is a bus station next to the hotel. It is more convenient to go to oxford center. The room size is okay, with plenty of sunlight, clean, and warm. The view from the window is very good. I saw a little squirrel in the morning, and the children liked it very much. However, after the check-in time is 4 o'clock, the check-out time is 10 o'clock, which is really inconvenient. In addition, the room cleaning will only be provided if the stay is more than 5 consecutive days. We have not cleaned the room for three consecutive days. I think it is not very reasonable and needs to be improved. .

This was the first cafe I came to, walking from the free car park, and as I have been there before, went straight in, expecting something straightforward and quick, on a journey. I chose a jacket potato with cheese and butter, and was looking forward to a harmless potato, with a bit of grated cheese, a small salad garnish, and a little Pat of wrapped butter on the side. Unfortunately, this was not what I received at all. Three half potatoes had been sunk under a half inch layer of melted cheese, all dripping in melted better. 2000 calories incarnate! I scraped off most of the cheese and ate the inside of the potatoes. It wasn’t at all what I had wanted. The coffee was lovely, and the toilets very clean and well cared for. I wouldn’t have believed that a jacket potato with cheese could be like that. It is a nice cafe, and was busy. Next time I am passing through Burford, I will have my lunch at the garden centre again, as you can see what your meal will be like.

We loved staying at the Mad hatter. The location is only 10-15 mins from the city centre, staff was ever so helpful, and the room is very atmospheric, it felt incredibly lush without being over the top and tacky. The room was very clean and felt brand new. Only downside is the karaoke bar downstairs, but they kindly provide earplugs and anyway it stops early. We would definitely book it again.

Despite having a really good location, the hotel let itself down for a number of reasons. We booked a room only option as one of us is not able to eat a full meal in one go so breakfast was not going to be for us. We stayed in room 15 for one night. Firstly, despite the online booking platform saying parking was included in the rate, because we had opted for room only rather than bed and breakfast, on check-in, we were asked to pay an additional fee for parking. This was not made clear when booking. There was an attempt to persuade us to purchase breakfast for a discounted rate, but we were asked to decide there and then on check-in which was not an option for us. Other problems included only having one hand towel and one bath towel, even though the booking was made for two people. When it can to showering, the water was barely lukewarm; certainly not hot enough to shower under during cooler weather. Additionally, the sensor lighting in the hall outside the room door was faulty meaning the light kept switching on and off throughout the night. The gaps in the room door were such that the light would clearly illuminate the room, making it difficult for a light sleeper to get a restful night. The decor is dated, the bathroom a bit tatty and needing a good lick of paint and pillows were rather lumpy. Overall, a rather disappointing experience from what was essentially a bed and breakfast place, trading on its good location as a hotel. Its marketing pictures do not portray its reality. The only positive, and surprising thing was the existence of an ‘honesty’ bar which was welcome after an evening out in the town centre.
