Beautiful. Classic. Timeless. Built in 1935 as a railway hotel, it is still serving that purpose today. We came in by train and used the Royal Oxford Hotel as a staging base as we quickly explored Oxford. I'm the future we need to spend more time! Anyway, the Royal Oxford Hotel was an excellent location as we came in by train and then moved along our travels by train. Thanks ROH!

Clare

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was reasonable but a bit pricey in terms of value. I was hoping for something a bit better. The room was good and the bathroom was lovely. All the staff were great. The arrangement with the cafe for breakfast was not great as we had hoped for something to be included. Unfortunately as food intolerances and allergies become more prevalent, it was disappointing that the cafe could not cater for any requirements. Sainsbury’s is also attached to what would have been a lovely building in the past. In hindsight, this was not the best option for our stay, as it was too far from the main town and it was difficult to find safe parking nearby. It is unlikely we would stay here again. If you want a place right near the station, then this would be ideal.

The staff were friendly and helpful. They changed our rooms to meet our requirements. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The Olive Branch Cafe next door is good breakfast and early evening meals. It is very easy to get into the city centre to see the attractions by bus or on foot. The location is in easy walking distance of the railway station.
