The air conditioning was quite comfortable in the summer. The bathroom was clean and nice. Our room was a good size and we didn't have any problems on check in or check out.

The location is fantastic, close to everything in Oxford, the staff are friendly and efficient, the breakfast was fine though the airco was in freezing mode, but the hotel itself is bad, carpet in the room and in the hallways, dusty and unhealthy, elevators out of order, window in the room doesn't open so you have to keep the airco on although the temperature was ideal for a good night's sleep, such a waste of energy and an attack on my sinuses, bathroom smelly and not very clean, bath so high I had difficulty climbing in and out although I'm tall. Luckily the weather was perfect and Oxford is a great town, so we didn't have to spend more time in the hotel than necessary.

I booked the premier Plus room. The room wasn't as nice or spacious like the other premier in that I have stayed in and the bed side table looks dusty. The bathroom basin was a little bit dirty. The corridors and main entrance of the hotel was filthy. I was so disappointed! I believe the building is new so it's such a shame that the hotel is looking like it's not well maintained. I was not impressed at all. The location is perfect and right opposite the Westgate and easy access to the town and restaurants!

The hotel is ideally situated : not too far from the train station and about 5minutes by foot from the tourist spot! The Westgate shopping center is directly in front of it and some pub and restaurant are all around it.
The check in process was annoying as it needed to be done on screen that barely worked. The hostess eventually did our check in herself.
The room was nice enough, very comfy bed. The view is not exceptional but is still nice (we had a view on a little house with interesting architecture). The shower could have been more cleaned. The white draps on the windows are not correctly secured on the wall and fell on me…

The room we had was extremely dusty, especially the room’s walls. The ventilation and air conditioning vents in the room were extremely dusty as well. The shower area had specks of mold on its grout, and the corners of the toilet’s flooring had balls of dust. Towels were shedding and left lots of fibers on the body and hair after use too.

Would be much better and greatly appreciated if room slippers were provided too given the dusty conditions of the room.

Room was very nice, just a few marks on the walls and a hair pin left on the floor from a previous visit, but overall the service was fantastic with such lovely staff, including the chef, and the breakfast was amazing. Super organised and helpful and comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again!

Really lovely premier inn. I found it quiet location despite my room overlooking a pub, cool room temperature wise and clean. Very comfortable bed.
Location is great for getting all around Oxford.
The staff were great- especially Colin. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
I’m definitely staying here when I next come to Oxford!

When we checked I'm, we had a slight problem with the reservation. Julie was working, she got us sorted and checked in with a smile. She couldn't have been more helpful. The location is absolutely fabulous. The rooms are what you'd expect at Premier Inns. I would absolutely stay here again. Friendly and fantastic service from everyone we met.

Room was fine, though too warm and the air conditioning wasn’t great.

Arrived early, bit of a frosty reception when I asked for an early check in. Reception was full of luggage from one family and no one asked them to move it, so difficult to squeeze past.

When I arrived for breakfast, I asked for any non-dairy milk but was told they were waiting for a delivery. That meant I couldn’t have any cereal or hot drinks with breakfast. Not impressed, especially as there’s a supermarket over the road and they could easily have bought a bottle. My friend also asked for yogurt but they hadn’t got any. No real apologies for missing items.

Usually happy with Premier Inn but I would choose a different hotel if staying in Oxford again.

It's a great hotel by the fantastic Westgate shopping centre. Children less than 10 years eat free in the hotel. The staff are nice and helpful. Family Rooms a bit small but still very good. The only downside there's no parking, so you have to park somewhere near for an expensive tariff. Recommended. 8 out of 10 overall
