The Royal Oxford Hotel enjoys a superb location, just a short walk from Oxford Railway Station and convenient for exploring the city center and nearby attractions. Guests often highlight the clean, modern rooms and bathrooms, along with comfortable beds, although some have noted that rooms can be on the smaller side.

Fantastic Central Stay

friendly staff clean room newly renovated bathroom
The staff were friendly and helpful . I found the room clean, and the bathroom was newly renovated! The provided tea and coffee supplies were plentiful, which I greatly appreciated.
The room felt somewhat stuffy, I found it small, and its overall condition only met the basic requirements! There was no lift available, made transporting luggage slightly inconvenient.
