Our stay at Museum Hotel Oxford was amazing thanks to its staff and location. Khadija was of great help, she assisted us promptly when we had questions about the hotel and she was able to recommend locations nearby to explore and have food. The location was in short walking distance to many main attractions.

The customer service was beyond expectations. We were met outside and our bags brought in and up for us. The room was ready early. When we checked out we mentioned we were heading to the train so she packed a lovely bag of waters and snacks for us. It was such a kind act.

I didn’t realize it was a property that you check yourself in and out of so when we got there early we had to call to find out where we could store our luggage. Once we talked to them they were very responsive.

Very difficult to contact reception bc there is no central location. Had to use data and call them for a code to get in. That cost us $$. Room was ok...window blind on one window did not work, and could hear everything in next room. Luckily they were fairly quiet except when on their phones. Nice lounge with water and coffee.

Great solo stay - was pretty much self service - you get texted your building, room access code, and also the wifi details - theres no reception or staff visible as such (at least, in the front part of the building where I was staying), but it's clean and comfortable enough. There were stairs and a spiral staircase to access my particular hotel room, so check if you have accessibility requirements.

The whole hotel including the bedrooms smells like sewage. They clearly have a plumbing problem as I could hear the pipes bubbling and emitting a stench throughout the night. Impossible to sleep in. Avoid!

The hotel is situated in an ally. It's very noisy. Had little to no sleep whatsoever. Air conditioning unit leaking water and room smelt very damp.

Positives: -- EXCELLENT location both for tourism and for those who have business at one of the colleges (but don't come with a car) -- clean, comfortable bed Negatives: --given that the hotel has no office or concierge on site, inadequate communication about how to find and enter (it's not easy) --loud noise from local intoxicants et al ALL NIGHT LONG (bring earplugs) --LED clock didn't work --safe didn't work --remotely controlled blinds only semi-functional --room 8 and its bathroom are tiny (room not big enough for two) --no one to tell or correct problems The balance falls to the negative side of the ledger.

Staying here has been a great experience. It was very easy to find and in a prime location! The rooms are clean and the air con was a bonus. We especially liked the laminated cards that told the history of the building as well as interesting features about it. The one note I do have is that Expedia lists that door and rooms codes will be sent out 72 hours in advance. When it was the day of and I hadn’t heard anything I started to worry. I sent a message to the staff through Expedia and heard back within a couple of hours that that information was sent when it was okay for us to enter the property, which ended up being just a tad in the early side, a plus of us. We heard other guests going to and from their rooms, but other wise a very quiet stay. Well pleased, would definitely come back again.

We were in Oxford for a night out at The Ivy, so the location was fantastic. We had to use a car park which was a few minutes away but we knew that in advance. Just factor in an extra £35. The hotel has no lobby or reception and we didn’t see any staff at all. Instead you let yourself in via a keypad on the door which is down a side access road. This leads up to a series of rooms which also have keypad entry. The room itself is fine. The wooden beams give it some character but the headboard and furniture didn’t really match and looked quite tacky. The bathroom was nice and it felt clean. What let it down was the carpet on one side of the bed felt damp. Also the room got hot during the night and the air conditioning unit didn’t work, even though it had power. I was looking forward to a good nights sleep being away from the kids but unfortunately this didn’t happen. There is a breakfast room which was well stocked.

Unique. The hotel was not well marked, but there was a small brass plaque at a bookstore informing me that the entrance was down a nearby alley. Then the door in the alley was not well marked but the emailed passcode allowed me entry to a dark poorly lit dingy entrance. To your immediate left is a closet filled with cleaning supplies and directly in front of you are a flight of creaky stairs with worn carpeting. Mounting the stairs I found my room and entered a separate passcode to enter. No lobby, no reception, no other human. Just a door in an alley and passcodes. The room was nicely appointed and every bit a converted old building. The bathroom was nice but there was no hot water. And of course in the morning the coffee machine was broken. I departed at my checkout time, 11 AM without seeing any hotel representative or another guest. But the bed was comfortable, the room was quiet and the blackout blinds allowed me to sleep soundly.

Scam! They advertise this as a hotel but it's a Airbnb at best. The entrance for our bedroom was shared with a 24h betting shop full of dodgy people. The stairs to access the room are so narrow that if you have any suitcase it will be a real struggle to squeeze in. The room is tiny, no shelves or even a stool to put your clothes, only 2 clothes hangers (one broken), the window is facing a pub's roof with their exhaust fan facing the window (noisy and smelly all the time). The toiletries are NOT the ones advertised in their photos (they're cheap and nasty), not to mention we arrived to find a used hand soap, multiple half used toilet rolls in a drawer and an empty toilet roll on the floor in the bathroom. During our days in there, we had no service whatsoever. No one came to do the bed, refill toiletries, nothing. On our last day, despite the "do not disturb" sign we decide to use, they knocked on our door until we opened it. The breakfast they charge £10 for is a bunch of nasty food inside plastic bags. Nothing is fresh or even a bit nice. At the price they charge for the room, this place should be ashamed of themselves. I feel totally scammed, especially because I know they won't care about bad reviews.
