After extensive research into Oxford accommodation options, I selected Rewley House for my visit to Oxford in April 2013 and stayed in a standard single room. I knew that I was making a trade-off of frills for price and not to expect a full service hotel. However, my experience in this type of accommodation is limited, so it's difficult to... More

I was needing a place to stay overnight in Oxford before attending a seminar at the Ashmolean Museum, and Rewley House was perfect for this. OK, it wasn't luxurious, but it was clean, comfortable, warm and perfectly located. All I needed really! Given the prices for similar rooms in the area, I was pleasantly surprised. Only complaint would be the... More

Enjoyable stay at Rewley House. Is made up of several town houses split into en suite bedrooms and is part of the university campus. Excellent quiet spot overlooking nice park area, but very centrally located. Less than 5 min walk to town centre. Not very well sign posted though so keep your eyes peeled! Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable.... More

It might be misleading to describe Rewley House as a hotel, because it is basically a very comfortable hostel designed primarily for people taking short courses of one sort or another. It is also much used by academics who need to spend a few days in Oxford on research projects and so on. The accommodation varies as to how modern... More

After having read some of the other reviews, I was worried but had little choice of where to stay. However, I should never have been worried. The location is great, but the room was brilliant. Could not fault it for anything. Similar rooms at more "posh" hotels will cost you at least TWICE as much. Highly recommended. Wish I had... More

My room (deluxe double) was spacious and well maintained with a wonderful view overlooking Wellington Square. It is withing walking distance of both the train and bus station and all of the places I wanted to visit including colleges, shopping, and museums. Staff were friendly... More

Just to emphasise - Rewley House is not a hotel, it provides overnight accommodation with single/twin bedrooms having an en suite bathroom, and inclusive breakfast. Rewley House provides education courses in Oxford and has accommodation at its site for residential short-stay students. As a result it sometimes has surplus capacity and hires these rooms out at the going rate, which... More

We booked Rewley House for 1 night stay for 3 people after our shopping trip to Bicester Village. It was easy to find and we managed to park the car right outside on the street, (£2.50 over night) although I think this was only possible because it was during the August holidays. As it is part of one of the... More

It seemed a bargain price (on laterooms) for a one night stay in a flat (previously known as the Fellow's flat) which we knew had a large twin bedroom, kitchen/living room and bathroom... and which would be a find for a family staying in the centre of Oxford. The flat was used as a Fellow's flat before the associated college... More
