It's 1:30 a.m., and the rooms around me are full of partiers. I was startled awake by one particular lad who ran down the hallway screaming and pounding on doors. The hotel provided better lip service about it than the rest of their services (and I use that word loosely). It's a shame because the room is perfectly serviceable. More

Stayed here recently for three nights to visit friends in Oxford. The hotel has been taken over by Puma Hotels and is still finding its feet. The guest directory, when it arrives from the printers, will be welcome. It was difficult to know where everything is. The room service was prompt, but quite expensive for what it was. Friendly service... More

The first room I was assigned was a loooong way from reception and had a view of a brick wall; when I asked for a better room becuase I was here for two nights I was assigned a lovely room with a good view - thank you checkin team! Bed was very comfortable, bathroom design good and shower is great,... More

I booked this hotel at last minute for £109 B and B in a premium room. The night before we had stayed in a Travelodge which is perfectly fine but was very very happy to have a premium room, large lovely bed and soft dressing gowns. Overall the room was just what we needed and quiet. The only disappointment was... More

Friendly staff, warm greeting. The restaurant was busy so we ate in the bar. Traditional bar food served. Good but little overpriced. The 3 lads behind the bar were very friendly and seemed comfortable in joking/talking with other business people at the tables. Breakfast was surprisingly refreshing and offered more than I expected. I also must say the beds are... More

Bar staff off hand, so did not go there again. Nearby... More

We have just stayed here for a short break and cannot fault anything. The hotel looks great in every respect. The rooms are all modern and clean with all the facilities you would expect. We booked for b & b but then booked for dinner in the restaurant. All the food looked appetitising, a great choice and was very tasty!... More

We've just got back from one night at the Barcelo Oxford. If coming on public transport you take the number 6 bus up Woodstock Road. Get a day pass as it's 24 hour and will save on fares. Also pick up a timetable from the bus driver and follow the map. It's not very clear when the route hits Godstow... More

The staff were extremely courteous and helpful (though I think perhaps understaffed - often when calling the front-desk, restaurant or room-service either they would take a loooooong time to answer or it would simply ring out - but when they DID answer, or when I approached reception or encountered staff in the restaurant/housekeeping etc etc, I found every member of...
