This is not a 3 star hotel as advertised, but rather a 1 star hotel with very limited/poor facilities. It is centrally located, but very noisy, as it is near bars and night clubs. It was very loud and noisy until 3-4 am.

We were so happy with our hotel room at the Bocardo which is on George Street so nice and central to everything in Oxford. We did a lot of sight seeing and tourist activities and everything was only a few minutes walk away. The reception staff also gave us a map and marked out our locations for us on it which was really helpful. Our room was nice and spacious with big windows that opened and also had effective curtains that blocked out the light. As an added bonus the room also had air conditioning which can be rare in the UK. We were so comfortable there and the staff were lovely and so kind. We would highly recommend the Bocardo to anyone staying in Oxford.

Great central location. Room was clean and there was plenty of coffee and tea. The room was very hot and stuffy even though it wasn’t that hot and the windows only opens about 10 cm, but one wouldn’t stay open. We had to have the air con on all night. Also had a lot of noise from the theatre as they broke up the set abd loaded it onto a lorry at 1.00 am abd then noise from the refuse bin sprague place from about 5 am. We didn’t sleep well.

The staff were very friendly, and we had a comfortable stay. The amenities were excellent as well. Since it’s on a street with many restaurants, the noise at night was a bit noticeable, but apart from that, I was very satisfied.
