Room clean. Good location

More like a backpackers hotel, but more expensive. Very disappointing. No services, very loud air conditioning. Staff had to be called from outside.

Amazing hotel right in the heart of Oxford, excellent value for money. Very clean and organized. Do not look any further :)

Ideally located but not for people who do not like stairs but room was splendid

Great location!

This is not a 3 star hotel as advertised, but rather a 1 star hotel with very limited/poor facilities. It is centrally located, but very noisy, as it is near bars and night clubs. It was very loud and noisy until 3-4 am.

Excellent service, helpful staff, comfortable bed, close to everything in Central Oxford. You can walk to the train station with a roller in ten minutes. All of these things at a great price! Bravo!

Great central location. Room was clean and there was plenty of coffee and tea. The room was very hot and stuffy even though it wasn’t that hot and the windows only opens about 10 cm, but one wouldn’t stay open. We had to have the air con on all night. Also had a lot of noise from the theatre as they broke up the set abd loaded it onto a lorry at 1.00 am abd then noise from the refuse bin sprague place from about 5 am. We didn’t sleep well.

We were so happy with our hotel room at the Bocardo which is on George Street so nice and central to everything in Oxford. We did a lot of sight seeing and tourist activities and everything was only a few minutes walk away. The reception staff also gave us a map and marked out our locations for us on it which was really helpful. Our room was nice and spacious with big windows that opened and also had effective curtains that blocked out the light. As an added bonus the room also had air conditioning which can be rare in the UK. We were so comfortable there and the staff were lovely and so kind. We would highly recommend the Bocardo to anyone staying in Oxford.

Helpful staff and bed was very comfortable, great location

Friendly staff very clean room bed was so comfortable air conditioning heating and was perfect for Theatres especially New Theatre lots of restaurants and public houses and cafes near by and very near bus station,the Hotel would not be suitable for those with mobility issues or wheelchair users but overall a lovely clean restful place to stay will stay again

A great place in central Oxford. Very comfy bedding, good wifi, and great location right in the center, a little less than 10 minutes walk from the train station.

Brilliant experience. Bocardo showed excellent service throughout, clean room, friendly staff and thorough housekeeping. Highly recommended.

Nice clean room in a convenient location. Close to various city noises (I think there was a giant trash compaction nearby) that banged on past midnight and started again around 6am. May also have to contend with noisy students carousing very late (like 2:30am). Key stopped working early despite reassurance it wouldn't (but was fixed quickly). Desk doesn't always have a person but they will show up within 1-2 mins on call. Staff are super-friendly. Overall would consider staying again but be prepared for sleep being disrupted.

All fine with the place in terms of location, cleanliness, facilities and staff courtesy. Minor points: No on site reception a bit annoying necessitating use of intercom and a lengthy wait for someone to attend when needed. TV remote missing from room. Street noise excessive all night long. My first floor front of building room should have had double glazing at least. I checked out after one night.

The staff was amazing. Rooms were fine

The room was very cramped, the bathroom shower stall was broken, and the location was very noisy.

The beds were comfortable and several thoughtful amenities were included, such as L’Occitaine bath products and a towel warmer. The challenges are the city center location and the age of the building. Parking is only nearby and quite expensive, and you will likely drive through a paid congestion zone. You have until the day after to pay on the council website, then fees increase. The building itself is elderly but the owners have done their best to ‘silk purse’ it. Expect odd corners and dicey plumbing: we had to change rooms because our first shower fully flooded into the bathroom. There is no elevator/lift, only stairs. The stairs are steep and slightly uneven. There is no staff member manning the desk, but they come quickly and are kind and helpful when contacted. The price is fine for the product, and it’s probably a good option if you don’t have a car and want a central location.

I really liked it. Lots of stairs so be aware if you have big bags. But safe, cozy, really comfortable beds and super great location. Yes it is abit old but honestly many big hotel chains charge double -triple and are also old looking so great for the price and it was super clean and tidy.

Cheaply converted office block now looking tired. Room too hot with no way to control temperature. Shower drainage inadequate for volume of water. Toilet roll holder missing!
