Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

Upgraded room was very comfortable. Breakfast was substantial and well presented. The manager was welcoming, answered all our questions and was very helpful in directing us to places we wished to visit. All other staff were helpful and friendly

Oxford has many bad hotels, many of them overpriced. This one is not cheap but correctly priced. I especially liked the fact that everything looked brand new, was spotlessly clean and that my standard room was quite spacious with a large comfotable bed. standard quality shower and the type of average but still more than OK breakfast buffet. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, really more so than at most hotels.

Great staff on check in. Room good size, very clean, everything we needed. Beds comfy. Breakfast service good and friendly on day 2. Luggage store good facility. Easy walk to city centre.

At breakfast, there was a good selection of pre-cooked and continental items, cheese, ham etc. available and a choice of eggs could be cooked fresh on request. There was wide range of cereals with fresh fruit, pastries, breads, cakes etc., also dairy and non-dairy milks. We were given an accessible room which was spacious, very comfortable, with a large ensuite toilet/washroom/wet-room shower - very well-appointed with top notch fittings and thoughtful additions. It was such a shame that the shower had fabric curtains which finished about 30cms above the floor and the slope to the central drainage wasn't adequate to cope with the volume of water being delivered by the (excellent!) shower. This meant that the water easily escaped from the expansive specific shower area under the curtains into the toilet/washbasin area and also towards the entrance door! There was more than enough room to have designed an easily accessible shower area with water retaining screens - such an oversight in otherwise perfect accommodation for people with disabilities.

Location was excellent - right next to the centre but in a little backwater but difficult to find with a car and no hotel parking! Rooms were as you would expect and the beds/pillows were particularly comfortable - absolutely no complaints.
