Featuring a magnificent academic heritage, Oxford is a beautiful city where Gothic spires intermingle with medieval colleges. The home to England’s oldest university, most of the 38 unique colleges are sadly only viewable from the outside. Two that you can visit are Magdalen College, considered one of the most beautiful, and Christchurch College whose quadrangle was used in the 1st Harry Potter film. Its cathedral choir also sings evensong.
Other notable colleges are Balliol and Merton, the 2 oldest, while Hertford College has the Bridge of Sighs. Next door is the cavernous Bodleian Library, overlooking the round Radcliffe Camera, the city’s best-known landmark.
The university also has a botanical garden and the best Oxford museums, including the Ashmolean Museum and Natural History Museum, where swifts nest in summer.
Unsurprisingly for a student town, it has lots of bars and restaurants. Oxford shopping is also good and includes England’s oldest covered market, brightly colored High Street shops, and the Clarendon and Westgate shopping centers.
Whether you arrive by road or fly into London Oxford Airport, don’t leave without trying Oxford punting. In contrast to rival Cambridge, you punt here by standing in the front (rather than on the back). Easily accessed from the Oxford accommodations on Booking.com, the routes take in the River Cherwell and the Isis (the name for this part of the Thames).
Oxford is a beautiful city. The downtown area is smallish and perfect for walking around and buses are frequent. The colleges are interesting to explore, and it's lovely to walk along the rivers or the Oxford canal. The White Rabbit has fantastic pizza and a lively atmosphere. Lots of good independent coffee shops - we liked the Society Cafe. Had a great burger at the Big Society pub on Cowley Road. Neat shops and a great coffee shop in the Covered Market. The Bodleian Library is amazing, loved the Ashmolean and the Natural History Museum, History of Science and Pitt Rivers Museums are interesting. A great city to explore over a few days.

Beautiful city. Calm and relaxed.
Beautiful city. Calm and relaxed. People are courteous and polite. Loved the slow life. City centre doesn’t have many attractions so one can take the 2 hr. Walking tour. Many great places to eat . And all under one roof Westgate shopping centre too.

Lovely place to visit.
Lovely place to visit. I went as my family grew up in Oxford and I have never been before. Drove from Oxford to Fritwell, then onto Bicester. Lovely little trip. The city centre was beautiful, so much to do in the short time I was there.

The hotel is very unique.
The hotel is very unique. We stayed in one of the cell rooms which added to the experience. I think if you didn’t stay in one of the cell rooms, it would feel like staying in any other nice hotel. Just bare in mind that the cell rooms do not have a window that you can look out of, only a little window near the ceiling, it is literally 2-3 old Victorian prison cells converted into one room, so you wouldn’t expect there to be a window to look out of. The cell room feels very spacious and very nicely converted, with a prison vibe going on. If you are driving to the hotel, to avoid disappointment, make sure you reserve parking. Parking is VERY limited.
We had an evening meal in the hotel, which was excellent, a little over priced maybe? So I was expecting an excellent breakfast, but sadly not. I had full English and my breakfast was warm, not hot. Found the bacon and potato croquettes quite rubbery. I felt my breakfast was probably cooked an hour ago and was kept under one of them warming lights. Even if my breakfast was freshly cooked, I still think for breakfast it was extremely over priced.
Over all the hotel was superb and is in a fantastic location, centre of Oxford. Everything you want to see and do in Oxford is all within walking distance.
I would gladly recommend this hotel.

Unfortunately, only spent a few hours walking around the old historic parts of Oxford. There's plenty of beautiful sandstone buildings and sights to see. Many places charge an entrance fee though but still enjoyed just wandering around looking at the architecture and down to the river was very pleasant. Definitely, will read up and research more on the history and places to see for a return visit to Oxford. Good bus service to the city centre.

I enjoyed the Ashmolean Museum, the Bodleian library and looking at all the wonderful buildings, colleges and Churches. The view from the top of the Carfax tower was superb as was the Covered Market and the main High St was full of many interesting shops.
The Westgate shopping Mall was great - the city is very compact and easy to navigate. The streets are very clean and without rubbish everywhere.
There are many good restaurants and bars at reasonable prices.
Lovely room, tea and biscuits provided, even a little bag of toiletries which was lovely! Soft and hard pillows to suit your preference and the heating made the room very cosy. Great central location for seeing all the main sites of Oxford. Reception worker was very helpful on the phone when we called asking for parking suggestions. Room was a decent size and was very quiet. We didn't hear any noise from the other rooms and the hotel allowed us to store our bags there for the day which is always helpful.
Located in Oxford's Summertown area The Galaxy is perfectly placed. You can enjoy the nice bakeries and pubs near by and get to the city centre easily. The bus stop is just in front the entrance of the hotel and takes about 10minutes if not less. I preferred going by foot following the Oxford Canal(30min). I was pleasantly surprised by the Trap Grounds Nature Reserve along the way!
The staff were all wonderful! Truly helpful and kind. Couldn't recommend them enough.
Great Central Oxford location. Plenty of good shopping, 6eating and drinking places nearby.
Nothing fancy about the hotel but just what is needed for a brief city centre stay. Staff helpful, room small but comfortable, good bathroom.
No parking at hotel but the Oxford park and ride schem⁶e works well with frequent buses. Good taxi services too. Please
Room was spotlessly clean with a good choice of tea/coffee/hot chocolate as well as complimentary biscuits and bottled water.
Excellent breakfast choices.
Location is very convenient to Oxford city centre and the train station. Car parking is plentiful , although it is disappointing , as a hotel guest, to be charged an additional amount for parking.
The room was quiet with a lovely view of the garden. It was great to wake up and see the horses outside.
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well laid out for a 5-day stay.
The hotel is so close to Oxford but not in the busy centre offering more peace and quiet than centrally located hotels. The riverside walk to Oxford is excellent.
The hotel is well appointed, set in a lovely position. Transport by bus into Oxford city centre is convenient. The room was very comfortable. All hotel staff were friendly & helpful & both breakfast & dinner were good. There is an attractive pool suite, which we had virtually to ourselves. We would definitively stay again if in the area.
For the difficult situation Oxford is in regarding hotels this is a gem in a very good location (10 min walk into city centre), good, comfy rooms, extremely friendly and helpful staff, a great breakfast and generally a good atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Location was amazing being close to the city centre of Oxford and museums. Very friendly staff made you feel welcome. The style of the houses made it feel different to a normal hotel experience so that was a nice change.
The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. Whilst there was nobody actually working at the hotel, when I called through the woman I spoke with was very pleasant. It was an easy walk to the centre of Oxford.
Location. The hotel is very well located, it has been renovated in the last few years. The bed was as expected comfortable, Afternoon teas were good. Very useful having a secure parking space in central Oxford.
Good staff greeting. Thanks to Miya and Bruce for the nice treat and good explanation on how to get around in Oxford. And my gal got a cute little bunny toy from the hotel and now become her favourite toy
The location was perfect! Such a charming hotel with the most pleasant staff. The breakfast was amazing! I would definitely recommend and stay here again if I make it back to Oxford!
Great location, great price point and parking accommodation (which is premium) and easily accessible to Oxford Center in a 8 minute bus ride. Bus stop was
1 minute walk from hotel.
An excellent hotel at a reasonable price compared to the city centre hotels. And if you are traveling by car parking in central Oxford is a nightmare. Plentiful parking here.
