I booked this hotel because they had a large family room. I have 2 young daughters and it was not safe to have them in a different room. Although the room we got was the one shown on their website, the conditions have deteriorated. The beige carpets had mouldy patches, the paint was flaking off, TV poor reception, saggy beds,... more

We booked this hotel as it was advertised in the Oxford tourist brochure we picked up from our local Tourist Information Centre, it was only two stars but at £85 a night we expected something at least decent... well, it wasn't.... stuffy corridords and rooms, the place needs a full refurbishment to justify the prices they charge, if we hadn't... more

I mistakenly booked this place without checking reviews or the website (it was recommended by another hotel that was full). It is grungy and the service was beyond terrible. The check-out was at 10am and even though there was noone there, we were called and told we would need to leave otherwise be charged for a second night. more

Stayed for one night with 2 other couples for a weekend Oxford break. Ideal location, within walking distance of CIty Centre and on bus route with direct buses every few minutes. Rooms were basic but clean and warm. Staff friendly. The only downside was the poor TV reception - had to play around with indoor arial to get someting approaching... more

Yes this hotel is in a great location. To bad they treat this hotel like an hourly paid type hotel. The nightclub underneath it did not allow for a restful sleep. This is Oxford, we expected noise from the street until and after bar time. But the noise and constant thumping from the club was to much at 3am. In... more

There were several problems including: owners promised to pick us up at train station whatever time we arrived, but when we called the owner told us he was alone at the hotel and couldn't pick us up, he told us the rate was a few pounds more than we had been quoted (though he backed down when I showed him... more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Victoria Hotel for three nights. Having read the earlier comments re unfriendly owner and shabby decoration, we were a little apprehensive (the more recent comments are positive, so we took our chances!). However, I'm glad to report that we had an excellent stay. The room was perfectly adequate (everything worked as expected... more

A wonderful old house right on Abingdon Road (St. Aldates Road turns into Abingdon Road as you go south from Oxford after crossing the Thames at Folly Bridge). Very close to nice trails and bridge across the Thames, the South Oxford Community Center and 10 minutes walk into the main part of Oxford. The room was quiet, very clean, and... more
