6/10 Good

Gets the job done

The AC was good which was a nice change after the last 2 hotels where we could never get the rooms cool (and those were very nice hotels). And despite being on an active street it was super quiet. Our sheets has some stains on them. The shower didn't maintain temp and the drain seemed to be clogged a bit. After a short the shower, the bottom was almost overflowing.

James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I spent a night here at the end of July. We had asked for a room on the first floor, which we given. Check-in was quick and easy. The room, whilst small, had all the aminities necessary, including a kettle with branded tea and coffee, sugar and sweetners, sachets of milk in the mini fridge and two biscuits. There were also two cans of still water in the fridge. There was also a 32-inch flat-screen TV and Free WiFi which worked well.The bathroom toiletries were by L'Occitane and there were plenty of towels provided. The central location was excellent for seeing the city sights. It was only five minute walk to the bus station and a food market was just around the corner. I was particularly impressed by the amount of information provided by the hotel prior to our arrival, infrming me of ID to bring, local parking facilities, check-in time, etc. If we visit Oxford again I will certainly consider the Bocardo as my place to stay.

David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you don't have a car in Oxford this is an amazing location. A short walk from the train and bus stations and very centrally located to restaurants and other things to see in town. We were in a room on the top floor at the back and had no problem with noise. The room was clean and the front desk was helpful when we had questions, I would stay here again.
Grace, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is excellent, as well as Staff Service. No elevator, so luggage has to be managed by stairs...
Adolfo Javier, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel staff was lovely. Oxford itself is loud in the evenings, and rather costly. If you're there to enjoy late nights, this central hotel is great for a solo traveller. Getting to and from the airport is extremely easy via bus only 1 block away.
Henry, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

Over priced and unhelpful staff.
heather, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

low end, basic, but right in town

Small bathrooms, very basic, like a Travelodge without any of the facilities and lower quality paint job and poor carpet
Jonathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The shower could have had a small corner shelf to place the gel / shampoo etc
Hariharan, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value for sure. Great location in the center of Oxford with shopping, eating & colleges all around you. The staff were all great, so very friendly & helpful. The hotel is probably 2.5 star by US standards. Bed & bedding were very comfortable, towels were fluffy & the heated towel bar was great! No elevator & the lobby is up a floor so be aware! The staff will help with bags. Rooms facing street are noisy at night kids coming home from the bars late!! Despite that due to the location & value I would stay here again
Antonio, 1-night trip
