"The property was really good. Clean, tidy and well presented. My only issue was that the radiators were not as warm despite being on the highest setting. The bedroom especially was very cold. Another negative is upto now I have not received my deposit back. Surely you should have a system that works for returning deposits back. People are so busy spmetimes one will forget to check that the deposit has been returned back"

Top Headington Shark Hotel Reviews

Crown House

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. Answeres phone calls and I was able to leave bags with attendant for a few hours to go to appointment. Much appreciated."

Red Mullions Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Headington"

Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect stay for my needs. The hotel has been newly renovated and was in nice condition. I really appreciate all of the energy saving strategies they use that don’t cut into the comfort and experience. The staff was friendly and helpful and I am so glad I trusted the other excellent reviews."

Pickwicks Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent. Room was ideal, staff were very polite and very helpful. Nice continental breakfast."

Rasa Sayang House

10/10 Excellent

"Really good value for money. The room had everything needed for a nice work trip."

The Rana Apartments

8/10 Good

"We had a great time in this property, which is described accurately on the site. It is located a bit outside Oxford, but within walking distance (40 min brisk walk). You can also use the wheels in Oxford (scooters mostly available) and the X3 bus was very convenient. The reason why I docked marks is because I found the processes associated with the property stressful. Now I have been through it, I would book again. Check-in is process heavy compared to a hotel and you have to pay a £250 deposit. You only receive the code for the mail box where the keys are located at 3pm on the day, so until I was there, I thought it may have been a scam tbh. I had phoned the company and they explained the process, but I was still stressed. Hopefully this review will put you at ease. The exit was then stressful because of the deposit refund. There was a broken kettle when we came in and something happened with the sink on the departure morning as we washed up for the first time. We did everything we were supposed to do and got the deposit back, but it took a more than a week, so some stress there too, as there were reviews mentioning issues with the deposit. So all in all, we had a very nice stay, but the before and after could have been smoother. Now I know, I would book this property again."

The Black Boy

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Staff were wonderful, room was gorgeous and clean, would 100% recommend."

The Dial House Guest House

8/10 Good

"Staff were lovely and very helpful. There was free parking on site, which was a bonus. Breakfast was very good and plentiful including, eggs however you like them, ham and cheese, yoghurt, fruit, cereal, toast and jam, croissants and pain au chocolate. Very nice. Lovely big breakfast room with a view over the garden."
