The room (no 4) was spotlessly clean and roomy. It had twin beds, table and chairs, storage(wardrobe and drawers), TV and a bathroom with overhead shower in the bath, sink and toilet. Towels and toiletries were supplied. The kitchenette had a sink and drainer, kettle, fridge, cutlery and plates for 2, and tea towel and soap were also provided.
There was coffee and tea provided and a chargeable minibar containing soft drinks and snacks.
A continental breakfast could also be ordered in, but we self catered.
The owner/landlady was friendly and helpful. We asked her to sort out the bathroom heating and it was done when we returned later in the day.
Our only problem was the Bath/shower. My friend is older and felt that a non slip bath mat and grab rail would have helped her to feel more secure, but we forgot to mention this at the time.
We intend to return to the area again and hope to stay again at Marlborough House Hotel.
The rooms are beautifully spacious, giving you plenty of room to relax, and one detail that really stood out was being able to choose between hard or soft pillows. It’s not something you usually get in hotels, but it’s such a thoughtful touch and hugely appreciated — it shows how much they care about guest comfort.
The hotel is set in the lovely neighbourhood of Summertown, and they do a great job of pointing you in the right direction with recommendations on what to do nearby. It’s a charming area to explore, and Oxford itself is a wonderful place to visit in both summer and winter, each season offering its own kind of magic.
What really makes Marlborough House special, though, is the staff. They’re always happy to help you plan your day in Oxford, whether it’s sightseeing, dining, or just exploring at a relaxed pace. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind, they create an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I couldn’t recommend Marlborough House Hotel more highly. Thank you, Kavita, for a lovely stay! We hope to be back again soon!
Thank you.
