"Was very useful for events in the town centre. Some of the decor/internal needs a bit of TLC but looked clean and functional. Lack of gluten free sausages or hash browns on the breakfast buffet was disappointing but I didnt ask for GF so no idea of they would have provided some. Just perfect budget for a one night stopover before a conference though. Easy check in and I got parking. Thanks"

"We stayed for 5 days in Oxford on a family trip. We chose the hotel because of its location, and it was definitely the best decision: the location is great, right in the heart of the city! We were able to walk almost everywhere. We stayed in a suite with a balcony, and we really recommend it: drinking that first cup of coffee while sitting on the balcony, taking in the view and feeling the city come to life, was fantastic! We really recommend the hotel: great location, very clean, and very kind and helpful staff. The suite was very comfortable, with a lot of space. And, oh, the balcony! Simply unbeatable. We'll definitely be back!"

Breakfast was well worth the cost and was very nice. Rooms have aircon and blackout curtains for excellent sleeping conditions. Don’t bother prebooking parking, there’s plenty of signs and a kiosk to pay inside. It’s £8 a day and you can come and go as you please. You can walk to the park and ride to get the bus into Oxford, it cost £9 for 2 people return. We will definitely return to stay at the Holiday Inn Oxford next time we come down here."
