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.

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.

Perfect property - bang in the city centre and has wonderful access to all Oxford has to offer. Property is old and quriky so need to keep that in mind when you book. Especially if you are booking a shared bathroom, the shower is a bit old and rickety.

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!

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A small hotel with a B&B feel.
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.

This Hotel is not what it looks like on the pictures. The bed is fairly comfortable. The room itself wasn’t as clean as I would expect it. The room we stayed in got its own bathroom but the bath has no shower appliance . Overall it was not worth the money at all.

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.
