Hostels em Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

A friend and I had planned to go to Oxford to celebrate Mayday in 2020 but the pandemic meant this didn’t happen. In November 2022 my friend tried to book into the same place but it was full. There weren’t many rooms available and he booked us into the Ali Inn based on the photos. Neither of us read a review until the day before when I did. The majority of the reviews were poor but as we had no choice we arrived not expecting what to find and somewhat concerned. However There was someone to meet us Our room was clean and tidy. There were sufficient towels, toiletries and tea and coffee. Because of Mayday prices had increased everywhere and the Ali Inn was no different but at £260 for 2 nights wasn’t bad. It is a budget hotel. It is centrally located which is good. There is noise as there is a pub opposite and the theatre beneath it. It is a number of rooms up stairs and adjacent to a sandwich business run by the same people. The owner? Manager? Was very amenable helpful and friendly. The room was a good size as was the toilet and shower room. Definitely good for budget travellers who don’t mind noise. Ideal location very central and close to the bus station. Clean. Big towels too! Bed slightly soft and that’s the only slight criticism I have.

My partner and I had a lovely stay at The George. Lovely dinner - good range on the menu including lots of alcohol free drink options. The bed was really comfortable and it was a lovely cozy room with great amenities. Lovely location - Dorchester is beautiful! We loved the community farm just up the road with a lovely cafe and alpacas among others. Lovely countryside surrounding Dorchester and lovely cycle route to Oxford on the NCR5. Thanks George Hotel for a lovely stay!

We stayed 3 nights B&B following a Travelzoo offer. Let me say firstly that the level of customer service, friendliness and general willingness to help was very high. The stay was let down a bit by the non function of the a/c in our initial room during a very hot spell in room 22 on the first night. Even with a fan it was unbearably hot during the night [being on ground floor we didn't wish to open the windows] and when I mentioned this at reception the following morning they said they would have a look but if unsuccessful allocate another room that was cooler. This happened [room 25] and whilst not having a/c either was positioned out of the daylong sun and had cooling original thick stone walls. I noticed since that another reviewer also mentioned the same issue in Oct 23 [was this never fixed?] so I'd suggest getting this sorted out ASAP as it was the only uncomfortable let down. Cooked breakfast each morning was tasty and well cooked. We had an evening meal in the restaurant on the first night and that was good as well. Included was a small cream tea for 2: 2 scones/cream/jam no variety choice of teas offered. There is adequate parking for guests within the courtyards. The location was excellent for our day trips to Stratford/Avon, Blenheim Palace etc. Incidentally due to personal circumstances we had to rearrange the dates a few days prior to our original dates. The reception staff were very helpful and amended them without issue or query. We were grateful for their understanding. So in summary overall pleased with the stay, the price we paid under this deal and especially the customer service but disappointed concerning the first room. A well located hotel for trips outs and a pleasant small village with old church and a couple of interesting shops.

I was a bit dubious about staying in a room above a pub/ restaurant, but was very pleasantly surprised ! The room was really nice, as well as the bathroom.( A light above the bathroom mirror, might be a good idea ? ) The bed was excellent & although the main road was nearby, I slept like a log. The English breakfast & the buffet was really good value for money.The staff were really friendly & very helpful.......We will be back !

A gem of a hotel. I found this hotel by accident on a google search. The website was easy to use and bonus it's pet friendly! The welcome was very good and the room was spacious and immaculately clean. Tea/coffee in the room and a bottle of water. TV is positioned so that you can comfortably watch it in bed without straining your neck. There is an iron and board in the room too, A large glass of rose wine was only £7.00. Best of all... the Indian food was outstanding as was the service from all the staff. As a customer service trainer for many years I cannot recommend this inn highly enough. I will be back!

Just fancied Sunday lunch out. Live locally and have visited for drinks in sunny courtyard. What a gem lovely welcome from staff ,great martini cocktail and nice selection of beers. Gorgeous dining room, tasty starters and huge roast perfectly cooked. Very attentive service. Just great.

Our room was spotlessly clean and looked like it had been recently decorated. It was a lovely room and we couldn't find fault with it. Had a meal and drinks in the pub. It provides typical pub meals. Very friendly staff. Great location being only 5 minutes walk from the centre of town.

very nice boutique hotel with a good bar and restaurant below. The room nice, clean, minimalist but good furniture and decent shower. Only one complaint - if you are not a fan of capsule coffee (and I am definitely not) and you just want a cup of tea, it's a pain to have to google the coffee machine to work out how to use it when just a simple kettle would have been fine. Just 4 for the location because of the chaos at the Botley road bridge which is going on till this time next year at least! Lovely breakfast menu with good service.

Friendly welcome from the owner when we arrived, who showed us up to our room before the official check in time as the room was ready. The room was lovely, warm, clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. We had lunch in the cafe downstairs, which set us up well for a stroll around Woodstock in the afternoon. Breakfast the next morning had a good choice, and then it was just a 2 minute drive over to Blenheim Palace for the day.
