Oxford hotellit lähellä Balliol College

Plussat: Great location on High St. in Central Oxford.

Miinukset: Some initial mistakes by the staff were corrected.

Plussat: All staff including restaurant staff was very kind!

Plussat: Room excellent. Shower superb

Miinukset: Pillows could be better

Plussat: Comfortable, clean, uniquely beautiful property!

Miinukset: I have none.

Plussat: The hotel is superbly located, the room comfortable though small, perfectly clean and well furnished, air conditioning, t.v., shower and other room services perfect, and the breakfast menu very nice.

Miinukset: The rates charged in mid- to late-July are truly exorbitant for what you get. They should at least comp you to breakfast, at the rates they charge. The room was under the eaves, so that a beam diagonally positioned from floor to ceiling was dangerously close to head-hitting distance for anyone getting out of that side of the bed at night. The same is true of the toilet: the eave slopes down right over the toilet, so that if you stood in front of it your forehead was up against the sloped ceiling. Bumped myself 4 times.

Plussat: Very clean, comfortable beds, excellent bathroom (spacious, clean,beautiful), quiet room, good ac. The property was stunning. We loved the library. The location couldn’t have been better! The hotel was helpful in arranging transport from the airport. Would recommend to anyone and will certainly stay again when in Oxford.

Miinukset: There really wasn’t anything we disliked! Perhaps having an iron/ironing board in the room but this is such small thing.

Plussat: Very comfortable, centrally located, walking distance to most of what you want to see. Very friendly staff. Attached to a very nice restaurant.

Miinukset: Could use a set up for tea or coffee in the room.

Plussat: beds were comfy

Miinukset: rooms were small, the restaurant food was awful. don't eat at OUD.

Plussat: I liked the location of the hotel, it is easy to walk to the main shopping area. The building is amazing like most of the buildings in Oxford. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our second room was quiet, quite spacious, bathroom was very clean (we had to exchange the first allocated room after our arrival, as it was quite noisy, windows were looking at the court dining area of the restaurant).

Miinukset: Sorry, but I didn't like the restaurant, especially the breakfast. I ordered two fried eggs on toast and asked additionally to add tomatoes and avocado. Instead of making a nice platter and making it enjoyable and tasty looking (this is a posh restaurant at the end of the day), the lady brought a toast and fried eggs on top of the toast in one plate and then in the separate plate with just tomatoes and avocado, which looked very weird. I guess it would be ok if I have this in 3 stars hotel or a pub, but I expected a bit higher standards in 5 star hotel. Another thing was water. I expect water to be brought as soon as you sit at the table even before you start looking at the menu, especially on a hot day. Instead, as soon as you are seated at the table, the waitress leaves you for 10-15 min to look at the menu and brings water only with your order if you ask for it.

Plussat: The Location

Miinukset: Is difficult to get into the rooms.

Plussat: Very comfortable bed Very nice staff , good dining experience , especially courtyard Quod was nice Nice clean room

Miinukset: No first drapes so had to close blinds for privacy , couldn’t enjoy the sunshine when in room

Plussat: Location was great staff helpful

Miinukset: The bed was terrible and the pillows were like cardboard

Plussat: Nice lounge areas. Food portions generous and good quality.

Plussat: Staff. Location great.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was pleasant and well equipped. Bar and terrace areas were nice. Food was good. Best of all was the availability of parking.

Miinukset: No fridge in the room. I was quoted 40 pounds to extend my stay for 2 hours.

Plussat: The location is excellent and has on site parking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I was able to drop my car off early which was a big help. Room and clean and tidy and bed was comfy. I also felt the hotel was good value for being city centre.

Miinukset: Whilst the room was clean and tidy. I was disappointed to see torn wall paper by the window and quite a bit of paint work was chipped and needed refreshing. The lack of air was a down side. The hotel said 4 stars - I’d say the excellent hotel let itself down on the decor that needed attention. I would stay there again.

Plussat: From the moment we walked in we knew this was a top notch hotel from the staff to the accomodation .brilliant stay . Will highly recommend.

Miinukset: Glad to say nothing.

Plussat: Kävelymatkan päässä Oxfordin keskustasta. Lähellä yliopiston monia collegeja. Viihtyisällä tavalla perinteinen. Ystävällinen ja auttavainen henkilökunta.

Plussat: Food was very good and hotel is located a reasonable (20minutes) walking distance to Oxford. Courtyard outside our room was nice to sit in. (This was important because the room was so small there was nowhere to sit except on the bed). Staff was friendly and responsive.

Miinukset: Room very small for the amount of money we paid - there was barely room to walk around the bed. Bathroom a bit outdated. Maybe all Oxford hotels are this expensive at this time of year but I expected more for the money.

Plussat: Tilava huone. Huoneen saaminen onnistui jo puolen päivän jälkeen. Siisti. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Rauhallinen ja hiljainen. Hyvä sijainti.

Miinukset: Aamupala on monipuolinen, mutta ei ihan neljän tähden hotellin tasoa. Hotellissa ei ole hissiä asiakaskäytössä. Wifi jumittaa. Hinta/laatusuhde ei ole ihan kohdillaan - laatua suhteessa hintaan pitäisi kehittää. Kuluminen näkyy paikka paikoin. Huoneen suihkussa paineet ja lämmin vesi vähissä eli viileää oli.

Plussat: Great location, easy parking, comfy bed

Miinukset: Breakfast wasn’t great, slow and uninteresting!

Plussat: Beautiful building, very clean with a comfortable room.

Miinukset: Room was a bit warm and fan was hidden away.

Plussat: The Cotswolds is a nice place to stay if you want to explore Oxford. Five minutes to St. Giles. Although next to Banbury Rd. the room was very quiet. Breakfast was fine and the service excellent. Their bar is a nice and cosy place.

Plussat: All things are very good. There is very quiet the bar is very nice to take a rest.

Miinukset: When you feel tiere, the location of this hotel is a little bit far from the city center. But there is a very good transport of buses. It would be nice, if the staff tell custumers which numbers of buses you can take.

Plussat: Quiet room on the top floor of the hotel. Lovely comfortable bed. Nice bathroom. Friendly helpful staff.

Miinukset: There was nothing we were unhappy with.

Plussat: good atmosphere, helpful staff,good situation, quiet rooms, convenient parking andd straightforward billing arrangements.

Miinukset: dim economy bulbs and cheap plastic glasses in the bathroom.

Plussat: I enjoyed the comfortable room, though rather small for a double. The location is very good, just 10 mins into town on foot and several restaurants/pubs within 100 yards. The staff were friendly and reasonably helpful.

Miinukset: The breakfast buffet was not too extensive. The cooked "full English" was unimaginative, the service slow, and unattentive, the food sometimes warm rather than hot...

Plussat: Very comfortable room with good facilities

Plussat: Palvelu oli hyvää.

Miinukset: Hotellin suihkun lämpötilan säätö ei toiminut. Veden lämpötilä saattoi muuttua kesken suihkun huomattavasti. Televisio oli myös vanhaa tekniikkaa ja kanavia oli vähän. WC:n huuhtelu ei toiminut kunnolla. Huoneen hinta (£130) ei vastannut laatua varsinkin kun aamiainen ei sisältynyt hintaan. Söimme aamiaisen vain ensimmäisenä aamuna, emme sen jälkeen koska se ei ollut edes hyvä vaikka hinta oli korkea.

Plussat: Perinteikäs ja siisti hotelli

Miinukset: LVI-tekniikka (suihku) toimivammaksi, minibaari ja AV-tekniikka

Plussat: Location and nearness to labs and centre

Miinukset: Room 64 washbasin waste lever needs attention

Plussat: Its closeness to the centre of the city, its old world charm, and particularly the reception staff who were extremely helpful

Plussat: the car park and the fact that the room was fairly quiet.

Miinukset: the bathroom was very small and the extractor fan was extremely noisy.

Plussat: very convenient location, pleasant surroundings, good breakfast

Miinukset: no

Miinukset: Breakfast too expensive

Plussat: Room, Location

Miinukset: Bed. Why a small bed in a large room?? - No fridge in the room

Plussat: The hotel was very clean, enjoyed the pool and the Jacuzzi, when we pulled up in the car there was a deer grazing which we were surprised to see was impressed with the fact that you had a drinks tray In the room free of charge but no fridge

Miinukset: The bed was too soft for us and the room was far too hot they did supply a fan but this wasn’t much good due to temperature outside, also states that the city centre is a 15 minute leisurely walk it’s more like half an hour but there is a bus stop outside

Plussat: I liked the location. The room size was great and the view was awesome

Miinukset: One of the female staff at the reception was quite unhelpful and quite rude. She did not even allow me to go to my room until I had paid in full, when I checked in. Since the money was in an envelope in the large suitcase tucked in for safety, I kept on requesting her to let me go to the room open my suitcase and come down to pay but she refused. I had to open my suitcase in the lobby and fish for the money and paid her. Then she refused to give the receipt. I told her then that if you do not trust me so much as to go to my room and come down to pay how do you expect me to trust you to give me a receipt at the end of my 4 night stay, with no evidence of the payment made but my word. She eventually did give me provisional receipt. This was very humiliating and I could not shake off the feeling of being in a place where people could be rude and unhelpful. I will really think twice to come here when I come back on a business trip this September again, although I really like the place.

Plussat: Everything was Fantastic!

Plussat: Staff were lovely; rooms were excellently equipped and comfortable - will be even better when air con installed. Yes you had to pay for parking, but the city centre is within an easy and pleasant walk and the parking was until 6pm the day of check out which was perfect for us.

Miinukset: Breakfast was good although quite pricey, especially as we didn't have time to benefit as much as we could have. Rooms were rather warm but a fan was provided and air con is being installed - so that is being addressed

Plussat: Good breakfast pleasant surroundings

Plussat: The location , staff & the space in the public area's

Miinukset: Paying for car parking the seating in public area not that comfortable & the leisure centre was very tired

Plussat: Location was very good with access to Thames path behind hotel and a nice walk into town. Staff are all very friendly too.

Miinukset: We were woken at 08:50 on Saturday morning by drilling and banging in the rooms next to us that were being refurbished. We complained and asked to speak to manager on check out. She was busy dealing with other complaints for the same issue so we had to wait 30 mins to see her. She took my details and said they would be in touch regarding a discount and/or upgrade on my next stay. This was Saturday morning, I am still waiting......

Plussat: Large clean rooms Fast wifi

Miinukset: Bt bland and corporate. Not quite as close to the centre as we would have liked.

Plussat: Location excellent for walking into Oxford along the river. Food very good and staff very helpful

Plussat: Great location - excellent staff . Room available early - late carpet check out .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hotel was very clean.

Miinukset: The room didn’t have a fridge.

Plussat: Very nice classic style little hotel. Restaurant is good service and food.

Miinukset: The bathroom a bit too small and no bench space for putting things

Plussat: Our flight got in early and they had a room ready for us. It was a long flight so it was nice we didn't have to wait.

Miinukset: Lack of food to eat later at night.

Plussat: From a tourist perspective the location was not far from one of the stops of the Hop On Hop Off Bus. This was our last two nights of a two week driving holiday on Cornwall/Devon. We especially enjoyed the ground floor room (no lugging luggage up stairs) and it was an air conditioned room (heat wave conditions in UK at that time). The staff were very friendly and helpful and it was great to have carparking within the property.

Plussat: Excellent staff-

Miinukset: No AC-

Plussat: Good location for the City.

Miinukset: Central heating on full in August - no wonder we couldn’t cool our room down. Shower was grubby and tired looking, seals covered in grime. Carpet looked as if it hadn’t been vacuumed from previous guests. Breakfast was mediocre, we decided to eat out on our second day due to poor quality of food. Coffee has a big thumbs down. For £160 a night, I would have hoped for a lot more.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful from the moment we walked through the door, they were so accommodating. The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. There is a lift for the rooms upstairs which is very helpful but you do have to go down three steps to get to it.

Miinukset: Only complaint was that the room was very hot even with the fan on.

Plussat: Nicely decorated,welcoming reception. Room sizes ok. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: No refrigerator in room. They did put items in kitchen fridge.

Plussat: Quiet room, parking available without fee, helpful staff

Miinukset: No honey in breakfast bar. No air con. Two-tap concept always troublesome.

Plussat: A very good breakfast infact. There was plenty to choose from, and all tastes were catered for.

Miinukset: I think breakfast was by far the better meal to have in the hotel and this was indicated by the number of people at breakfast compared to dinner. Dinner was not so good, mainly due to lack of communication, all staff were foreigners and the language barrier at times was a little difficult. We has a few menu hiccups! However the food was very nice, but limited. Breakfast was a more help yourself buffet style and the staff were very efficient getting people seated and clearing the tables etc.

Plussat: We had booked a family room for four. The first room we were offered was tiny and did not have a window we could open, neither an AC. I immediately asked for another room; the on duty manager could see the problem and found another room for us. Thank you. Oxford is a pricy location. The Linton Lodge is a value for money hotel. Functional, clean, 20 mins into town on foot. It suited us well.

Miinukset: The building is old. We were in Oxford during a heat wave. The corridors and washrooms near the restaurant were a mere sauna and there was no opportunity to air out.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, helppo sisäänkirjautuminen (kaikki oli valmiina), ystävällinen henkilökunta, siisti huone.

Plussat: Excellent kitchen for all meals. Wonderful included breakfast

Miinukset: Room quite cozy. Lighting very poor for reading. No wash cloths, few towels. Hair blower attached behind desk. Temperature very difficult to adjust.

Plussat: Good location. Pleasant helpful staff. Comfortable air conditioned room

Miinukset: Towels in bathroom small and think. Housekeeping only adequate.

Plussat: the staff was extra friendly and make us feel at home

Plussat: Liked the white rolls at breakfast.

Miinukset: The fruit in the fruit salad had been left too large for easy eating. The new dining area was visually and physically uncomfortable. Too many different types of surfaces, paint colours, lighting, seating, plates for cooked breakfast were too large and side plates too small, none of the crockery matched, it all looked shabby and not what one would expect from a Mercure Hotel.

Plussat: Staff was amazing, however, shower in room leaked into carpet so there was an odd smell.

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti, kauniit näkymät, tyylikäs kylpyhuone

Miinukset: Avainkortti oli joka päivä jumissa

Plussat: The staff were excellent very friendly and helpful

Plussat: Clean rooms

Miinukset: Uncomfortable bed No bottled water in rooms - at £156 for one night this was expected! No soundproofing - church bell opposite rings every 15 mins all the way throughout the night. Did not sleep at all! Very poor. Would not stay here again

Plussat: Great city centre hotel with no pretensions and lovely rooms. Staff were nice, breakfast was perfect.

Miinukset: Late night bar was a bit expensive to be honest

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: We had to pay to use the car park and leave our keys with the staff in case they needed to move it in order to create more space for other cars. Breakfasts were crowded and one morning we were offered the coffee table to eat from. Evening meals were uninspired.

Plussat: Perfect location.

Miinukset: The room is really small, it isn’t worth of money what paid for the night.

Plussat: Location, Decor of the rooms, staff attitude

Miinukset: Expensive for the brand, facilities
