Crown Hotel

Pros: The room was clean and quite spacious. There are plenty of dining options nearby. The housekeeper was very dedicated; they cleaned our room thoroughly every day and even gave us an extra bottle of water one day, noticing we drank a lot. Cons: My request for a high-floor room made in advance was not fulfilled. The check-in process was a bit cumbersome. They required us to download the Goki app beforehand and self-check-in, but we still had to go to the 24-hour front desk to get the electronic key, which was a hassle. Also, the curtains let in a lot of light, so it was bright by 5 AM every day, significantly affecting my sleep.

For our two-day, one-night trip to Oxford, we chose to stay at The Crown in Oxford, which made our itinerary much more comfortable and relaxed. The location is very convenient, and the room is spacious enough and clean. Thumbs up!

The large lawn in front of the hotel is lovely, very pleasant when the sun is out. Breakfast was good too, and the decor has a nice 'old money' feel to it. The location is convenient if you're driving, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have a car. Overall, it's a good place.

This seems to be one of the more highly-rated hotels near Oxford. The room wasn't huge, but the facilities were decent. There's no on-site parking; you have to walk about 3 minutes to park across the street. Downstairs, there's a friendly young man at reception who was quite good at communicating. It's not particularly close to the attractions on foot, but I saw a bus, number 5, that might make it easier to get around.

The room was very spacious, and the shower temperature was perfect. The front desk service was excellent. The room itself was new, clean, and hygienic. It's about a 15-minute walk from Oxford or a 5-minute Uber ride.
