Linda United States

Our room, number 023, was directly opposite the Ashmolean Museum- what a great location

Steveroy United Kingdom

Everything in the room was excellent - good facilities , very comfortable beds etc. Breakfast on our Sunday morning was excellent, loved it!!

Joanna United Kingdom

Truly exquisite hotel! Loved the style and tradition. Super comfy beds, wonderful breakfast served in the gorgeous dining room .. such a treat!

Suzy South Africa

breakfast, bar, central location, kindness of staff, cleanliness

Zoran Slovenia

The Randolf is the perfect location to explore Oxford from as virtually all sights are within easy walking distance. The breakfasts were excellent. The staff very professional and extremely helpful with the concierges being outstanding. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, however for me the mattress was a little springy. Even though our room was at the front of the hotel overlooking the Ashmolean it was very quiet. Of importance to me is a good shower and our shower was terrific, so I was very happy. The Morse bar is a little bit of history as is the bright, cheery Alice in Wonderland themed Alice restaurant which has many large drawings from the books but still retains the grandeur and style of the original building with high vaulted ceilings and large chandeliers.

Richard United Kingdom

Even though the place was swamped they were able to find us a lovely table to dine

Jody Canada

Room was excellent. Breakfast was good, could of had a better selection of fruit and pastries. Waiting Staff were lovely their Uniform very poor, unironed shirts, waistcoats did not match colour wise or material with their trousers and they wore trainers all different colours, looks very unprofessional and tatty. The look of the Staff Uniforms let down the Hotel appearance.

Theresa United Kingdom

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about this hotel is exquisite, not one fault! - big shoutout to Billy at the door for being a great tour guide !
