Victoria House Hotel  

We liked the location. We went to Oxford for a show in Oxford New Theatre and the hotel was just opposite on the road. Good restaurants and shopping centres in short walking distance. Also all the personell of the hotel was very friendly and helpful. Nice tray in the room for coffee and tea.

The hotel is in a great need of refurbishment. The furniture is minimalistic and old, the bathroom appliances old, everything in need of decoration. I think in summer can be very hot (no air conditioning). If you are not fit and your room is at the 3rd floor (where it is though less noise from the streeet) you need to consider that there is no lift. The breakfast is brought on a tray and the only space to have it is on the bed. I would not recommend this hotel unless it goes through major interior improvements.

Convenient location - close to station and city centre

Reception closed at 9pm - there was no warning of this at Booking.com Breakfast was continental and served in the room. It was okay except for the coffee, which was undrinkable! The shower thermostat was faulty and there were cracked tiles Overall, over-priced.

It's central location in the town and only 8 minute walk to the train station.The staff were friendly and breakfast arrived dead on time in my room.The room was basic but it had everything I needed including tea and coffee making facilities and six milks, more than some higher rated hotels provide.

The entrance at street level is uninviting and needs a make over.The price was high for the room but then it is right in the middle of town and it is Oxford, so it's to be expected, considering the price of other hotels in the vicinity. There is only one chair and breakfast is brought to your room. I was on my own so it was OK.It was a double room.

Staff were really nice friendly and knowledgeable

Very basic, slightly rough hotel, with questionable clientele. Not beeen updated since the 90's, no dining room so breakfast served in room on tiny table, nightclub situated below.

For Oxford centre (if not for other places), this constitutes good value for money. It's very no frills indeed but does the job. Staff, were very helpful, friendly and professional. I'd use it for a budget lads' reunion again, but not for a relaxing city break. The breakfast is basic but at least you get one. It's included in the price and substantial for a "continental" one.

George Street is noisy and dirty, but that's not exactly the hotel's fault. The breakfast coffee wasn't nice. Suggest choosing tea or one of the city's cafes

Victoria House has excellent staff. Always friendly, always helpful. The location just a block down from Broad Street is very good, and the price is friendly as well.

The room had a bit of noise from the exhaust from the restaurant below (no smell though) and the thermostatic tap in the shower was hard to turn. Nothing different from what you'd expect from a room at this price in any UK city, though. Breakfast is served in the room.

The location was great.

I didn't like the intermittent internet access

Location.

Noise from basement club.

As I've said before, what I liked most was the location (the hotel is situated in the heart of the city) and the friendliness of staff.

Breakfast in bed Friendly staff

Water wouldn't drain properly in shower

Excellent location in the heart of everything - bus transport, shops, theatre across the road, restaurants and city sights. Clean, basic room including breakfast made it a perfect base to explore Oxford.

Wi-fi an additional cost and quite expensive so this option wasn't used.

A notable absence of staff when you needed them. We ordered breakfast for 08:00. By 08:30 it had not arrived so we went to Reception. Nobody was on the desk and we could not find any member of staff. We had to leave without the breakfast, which was included in the price. I have used booking.com a lot and have always found the hotels and your service excellent. I do hopwe you can bring this to the attention of the hotel and they realise that recompense is needed

Central location helpful staff good price
