This is a small hotel that appears to have been recently renovated. The rooms a very small and the corridors are somewhat maze-like, but the bed was good, the room clean and the breakfast, served in a large dining area with lots of big windows, was very good. Large selection of items served buffet style. Parking is limited and is a first come situation. Don't know where one would park if the lot is full. The hotel is located on a bus line and you can get day-long passes for four pounds. It is an easy ride to the area most tourists want to see.

Staff were very helpful and eager to assist, they gave good tips and advice on area.

Richelle

Picked the Galaxie as affordable and walkable to a conference I was attending in center of Oxford. This is nice to have a mile gap because downtown Oxford was very crowded and noisier than I recalled. Great bus service intern across street if you like transit. Staff at desk and in the breakfast room were outstanding. Parking on site [easier if you have a compact- a tight entry drive]. New and beautifully outfitted unit and bath. Quiet room looking to garden at rear. Breakfast was a superior buffet where you could construct your own English breakfast, have salmon, yogurts, fresh fruit. Aside for a bit tiny for the car and our bags, stellar.

The Galaxie is a fantastic place from which to explore both Oxford and the University of Oxford. Our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were given several great sightseeing suggestions.

William

Breakfast was very good, the room was really lovely and comfortable, very modern and clean. The choice of flat or sparkling water (free) in the room was a nice surprise. The staff was really helpful and very kind.

A proper double bed rather than two singles put together.
Fabulous breakfast! Double Bed dipped in the middle. I think it was because there were 2 beds put together. So not as comfortable a night as it could have been. Otherwise excellent stay and would stay again Room was very warm

I booked a single room. It was small(ish) but comfortable enough for one person. Bathroom was in good size, but shower pressure was a bit weak (room on the top floor).
This is my second stay at the Galaxie. Once with a family and this time on my own. Staff were friendly and helpful in both cases. Breakfast was good in terms of quality and quantity. Rooms were very good, comfy, warm and quiet. Location is great near the Summertown shops.
