University of Oxford: only 6 minutes away! (1,500 feet by foot)

Located in the middle of the city, very close to most of the colleges and also the touristy things in Oxford. Quick food options are close nearby as well. A 15 minute walk from the train station, a block away from the long distance bus station. Coffee and Tea were provided. Also good for a winter stay. The heating made even 4 degrees C feel cozy, buses drive by regularly on the street in front of the hotel, but the windows were isolated enough to block the noise.

Matthias, Switzerland

Great hotel, conveniently located. Lovely welcome and very comfortable room

Jackie, United Kingdom

It is located in the heart of Oxford, bus stops, shopping center, major attractions, food, all was within 4 minutes walk. The staff was very friendly, so clean, Mr. Manjit was very helpful and kind.

Francisco, United States of America

The staff was always available and helpful. Also the location was great, with close proximity to all the main attractions and easy access to the center.

Christiana, Cyprus

Main attraction is the location. Really, right in the thick of things.

David, United States of America

Excellent location for walking to all Oxford sights. Easy 10-15 minute walk to train station. Helpful, friendly front-desk staff. Room had heat/air conditioning, windows opened for fresh air. Comfortable mattress. Hot water kettle to make coffee and tea, and biscuits in room. Small urban hotel without lounge area or dining, which is not needed since restaurants, coffee shops, pub, theater, shops in same block as hotel. Our room was quiet, it faced the back (or side?) surrounded by neighboring buildings, and some sort of large fan sound outside created white noise that blocked city noise.

Melinda, United States of America

Staff very nice & friendly. Excellent location in the center.

Tania, Lebanon

The location was my primary reason for booking. It was perfect. Because I was working , all I needed was a clean warm room with a bed and a bathroom. So I don't consider myself the best to judge. My stall was enjoyable and I would book to stay there again.

Steven, United Kingdom

From the first step through the door, the experience was first rate. We were greeted by a friendly, smiling young man who went out of his way to get us checked in quickly and into a room, even though we arrived before regular check-in.

A little street noise as is inevitable in central city location. Didn't bother me but if peace and quiet is of paramount importance, may not be for you. No breakfast, but lots of lovely cafes around.
Very helpful, friendly chap on reception. Central location right next to theatre/restaurants. Very clean room and comfortable beds.

I liked that this place is right downtown in the middle of everything we wanted to see. This is why we chose the Bicardo. The room was clean and adequate for our needs.

“Great location and good room, just a little noisy.”

I am a heavy sleepy and used to living on a busy road, but I found the room exceptionally noisy. I understand that being centrally located there is going to be noise from the street, but either the people in the rooms next to me were incredibly noisy, or more insulation between the rooms would be helpful. I would still definitely stay there again, but probably bring ear plugs next time!
Great location and easy check in. Easy access and very helpful 24hr reception. Nice room. Comfy and big bed.

The entrance to the hotel is via a steep and narrow set of stairs. If you have large or heavy luggage, it could be a problem. I didn’t see and lift or disabled access. The room could be a little small for a couple (I was in my own) The window was huge and overlooked Worcester Street. I imagine it would be very noisy at weekend and the double glazing was not very good at insulating from street noise.
Good location. The room was clean, bright and well equipped. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
