The Randolph is a holdover from a previous century. Think 19th, not 20th. That has its Oxonian charms, but those charms are offset by the hotel's weaknesses. Strengths: It's well located, an easy walk from the heart of the town and the rail station. The rooms are large enough to be comfortable and the furnishings, while slightly worn, are comfortable....

Okay, so the floors creak whenever anyone walks by and the rooms are starting to look a little warn, but if you want old-world charm and wonderfully attentive staff, you must stay here. There are other hotels to choose from - and some great ones too - but this is a tried and true option and I will definitely be...

The Randolph is a landmark property in Oxford, opposite the Ashmolean Museum and extremely well placed for wherever you would like to visit. Having been a student here I had passed many times, but had not had any reason (or the money!) to go inside.
Stayed for a night last week, and given its old and musty image, was pleasantly...

Five star eh? Well to get that rating you have to be good....and make no mistake this place is.
BUT, its not cheap, and as such I have had better value.
Food in the restaurant was excellent....but not cheap. Breakfast was up there with the best, the choice was astonishing!!
We had room 209, with a really nice bathroom off...

Stayed again at the Randolph.in early May. It is situated beautifully opposite the Ashmolean museum and is extremely busy. last stay we had a lovely room looking across at the museum,however probably due to the high occupancy and our latish arrival we had a very small room looking into the back wall of a building. The room was so small...

Thank you taking the time to post a review. I was pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We do have varying rooms on different tariffs.

This hotel stinks....quite literally. As entered via the Doorman (somehow they got 5*sbye was greeted by a whaft of unpleasant smell. The front desk blamed it on the sewerage outside but made no apologies. From then on in my two day experience got no better. The staff, whilst present are completely incompetent. Plenty of them, but only because 50% could...

I had my wedding reception here last year. My wife and I had about 20 of our friends and family there and service/ food etc was great. Not cheap but worth it (120 Gbp per head).
As part of the wedding package, we got a free tasting menu, presidential sweet, bottle of champagne and free anniversary dinner which we plan...

Very nice hotel and great staff. Let down by poor service in the restaurant. Food was excellent though.

What a fantastic hotel. From the moment we entered to the moment we left the service was exemplary. The staff were courteous, polite and extremely friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. All though we had a standard doule room, it was lovely. Much larger than the average standard double in other top hotels we have stayed in. It was spotlessly...
