Stayed here on business for 2 nights. The hotel is situated about half way down Banbury Road. My room was on the ground floor situated to the front of the hotel facing the road. It was very spacious with a desk, double bed and fire place! It's true that I was woken quite early in the morning from the noise... More

We recently stayed one night at the Galaxie. We had rooms in the front and it was extremely noisy. People partying all night, yelling and slamming car doors in front car park. The room next door had the TV on all night and we could here everything. Shower leaked into the room below, management called us and told us to... More

As others have mentioned, it is incredibly noisy. Both from inside and outside the hotel. I had a small single room overlooking the main Banbury Road. Sleep was quite difficult to come by. Room was tiny, small single bed tucked into the corner, bathroom so small that I couldn't use the toilet without bashing my legs on the wall directly... More

Stayed a few days. Excellent, modern and well appointed, good staff and breakfast. Especially liked the conservatory/garden. Free car parking and loads of buses into the city. Only downside is the busy Banbury Road but Given the location, convenience and quality I can forgive this.

I stayed here last Saturday night and had picked the Galaxie as I was in Oxford for a friend's party nearby. The location is convenient, but there was a lot of traffic noise from the Banbury Rd during the night even though my room was at the back. Room was attractive and well-equipped, but the decoration was starting to look... More

Just returned from three nights at the Galaxy in most unspringlike weather. The hotel was warm and welcoming. Our superior room at the rear was quiet and very comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The Banbury Road is very busy so opt for room at the rear. However, the advantage of the... More

Lovely place, beautiful rooms and bathrooms. Great breakfast BUT people above us stayed up until 1 and every footstep could be heard by us as well as their chatter ( they weren't partying) Such a shame as the place is otherwise perfect.

Easy to find in North side of oxford by virtue of being on main road, therein lies its weakness though, if your sleep is easily disturbed by traffic or night life. That said the single room was very nice spec, clean comfortable with contemporary en suite, However clean and contemporary a shower room is, it needs a decent water pressure... More

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend to check out Oxford. The hotel is clean, mostly modern, quiet and well placed. The staff, especially the breakfast team, were efficient, friendly and just lovely. The breakfast spread was plentiful in both cooked and continental choices. The dining room was very well decorated and over looks, what will be a... More
