I did not care for the idea of speaking your name to the reception unit by the front door after 6pm to enter - also if paying 3 star prices being told to leave your key at reception when you go out! Service needs attention. Also loud building work at rear of building from 8am. more

There is no elevator at The Buttery so all guests have to carry up their luggage two flights. I found that the only real drawback to the guest house. The staff is friendly and helpful, but a thin on the ground when it comes to carrying luggage up. The bedrooms are large and the entire hotel is spotless. Our rooms... more

An enjoyablely clean and convenient Hotel, with the staff friendly and the breakfast very tasty, but the parking was an $$$ exercise. There is no parking at the Hotel, but we were told by staff that it was ok to leave the car out front in the Loading Zone, but to move before 8am next morning. I did this, and... more

We stayed in a triple bedroom in The Buttery Hotel for a single night. The triple consisted of two single beds and a sofa bed. The sofa bed was comfortable, and the room was large by UK standards. It had internet access via a cable that the hotel happily supplied. In general, the room and bathrooms were very clean. The... more

We stayed at The Buttery for 2 nights for a friends wedding. Location - excellent and one of the main reasons for choosing. Close to everything in Oxford, close to the venue of the Wedding (main reason) but close to bus/train stations. Room - clean and very comfy bed. Compact but not a problem for 2 nights. Good shower.

Great central location in Oxford. Parking's a slight issue but if you're staying for a couple of days and don't need your car the out of town park and ride is perfect! Room clean and nice. Breakfast is downstairs in the cafe shop, which is characterful. more

The Buttery is a great little hotel, in a perfect location in Oxford - amongst several of the colleges, and within easy walking distance of the bus station (I never thought I'd travel through England by bus, but the price and convenience - just shove your bags into the side of the bus and relax in the very comfortable seats... more

The Buttery consists of several rooms over a coffee shop & bakery. It is located in the short pedestrian segment of Oxford's Broad Street, which is about as central as it gets. The tradeoff, of course, is the noise level: drunken students in the street until after midnight, and then tours and construction starting as early as 7:30 am. Colder... more

If you like central Oxford without paying the prices of nearby hotels like the Randolph--and if you don't mind elbowing your way through gangs of backpack-wearing teenagers in new Oxford sweatshirts--this is a good choice. I stayed here at the end of a course and was alone and it was fine for that. Easy walking distance to the Gloucester Green... more
