Beautiful tudor house with attractive rooms. Great location in the heart of the town with plenty of places nearby for breakfast.

A great place to stay in Central Oxford for a weekend, plus we needed to drop off luggage early and the contact was very helpful. Note that the hotel is unstaffed for large parts of the time, also being central it was quite noisy at night, but very cosy and clean.

The location is quite centred, convenient to shopping and many restaurants around. The room is good, quiet.

It's clean, too cold at night. After I urged them to turn on heating, 3 days later warmth came.

The Tower House is an historic building located at the heart of Oxford. It's central location offers a plethora of dining options in easy walking distance and many areas of exploration.

Excellent location in the heart of Oxford with friendly and accommodating reception staff. The historic building was really cool and I slept well in the comfortable bed.

We had a 1 night stop-over at Tower House. The hotel was cosy and comfortable, and the room had all the facilities we needed. It's right in the centre of Oxford so easy access to pretty much everything. The nearest car park is a short walk away. No breakfast on offer but there are plenty of cafes nearby.

Really central. Great choice if you’re happy to have a small but decently set up room in the centre of Oxford. Bed was comfortable and the place was clean and well kept especially considering what an old building it is.

Fantastic location, good service and would recommend for solo travellers.

The Tower House is centrally located in the city and was easy to find. We arrived in the pouring rain and unfortunately had to wait until 3:00 pm to gain access to the building itself. We were hoping to drop off our bags and then go exploring before checking in. It made for a very wet experience!

This was a great spot--quiet side street within an easy walk of everything in the city center. Clean, well maintained, comfortable in every way. I'd definitely recommend it and will stay again when I am next in Oxford.

We loved the location of The Tower House, its location was centrally located to be able to walk to restaurants and the local sites easily. Although staff were not on site 24 hours a day, it was easy to contact them via phone with an immediate response.

A small hotel with a B&B feel. This is an old building, fitting with the town of Oxford with modern features like a flatscreen tv and wifi. The location is a side street but still in the heart of town. An easy walk to all that Oxford has to offer including the new shopping center.

The property is a fairly small, old-fashioned, terraced house located in the centre of Oxford. Not spacious, and you'll share a bathroom but reasonably priced and great position within a short walk of the colleges.

This old building shows its medieval age clearly, but the room (we had The Foundry on the first floor) has been updated beautifully. Huge hand hewn beams still adorn the ceiling, but the room itself is spacious, the bathroom is very nice, and we had a very comfortable home for three nights. Perfect neighborhood, right near The Broad, but far enough to avoid the crowds. Also right near the Covered Market. What more do you want? We will definitely rebook next time we're in Oxford.

A very old house, lot of nooks and crannies Great location for being out and about. You have to call the property manager,to get the lock box code and the find your room number,and key.

Lovely historic place. Only stayed 1 night. Had room with bath only. Had I stayed for more I would have preferred shower. Still. A very unique experience and very clean!! Excellent location!

Incredibly noisy and unpleasantly warm. Bathroom moldy (with no evidence of any working extraction). Nobody on site at any time of the day so gave the impression of being a dodgy Airbnb rather than a hotel - not what I thought I'd booked. A shame as the location and the building itself are both brilliant.

Great location to walk in Oxford. Friendly staff and it was clean. My only complaint is that the double bed was terrible. Would have been OK for one person maybe, but incredibly uncomfortable for two.

This is a quirky hotel chosen for its perfect location. It is in parts of a 17th Century building, so corridors are narrow and somewhat maze-like. Reception is only open during certain afternoon hours, so we had to call a number to get someone to come check us in. They were not far away, though. The room was good-sized and comfortable. No food on the premises, so you have to walk up the street to a cafe to eat.
