voco Oxford Spires by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Regular annual visitors to this hotel so knew what to expect. Room was large and clean. Staff we came across were all very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast room was very well stocked there was a really wide choice from the buffet. River walk of about 15 mins into the city. Very quiet at night on this occasion. Onsite car parking is £25 per day. Check in agent did not ask for payment and when i asked i was told it was included which surprised me as it never used to be. I went back later and challenged them on this again and surprise another check showed it wasn't so an apology was given and £50 was taken. Failure to pay would mean a £100 fine later on so beware of this. Couldn't get a stable picture on any tv channel which was a little frustrating but then we weren't there to watch tv."

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for 1 night after exploring Oxford for the day. The only reason I am giving a 4 star review is for some reason it seems that if you book through Expedia for example we are given a room next to the lifts, Room 401, in this case Whilst the en-suite was next to the lifts so we could not hear them, the voices of the people congregating to catch them we could hear."
