Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
City Centre
Named for the medieval prison that once stood here, Bocardo is a contemporary boutique hotel inside a Georgian building on North Gate Street with well-designed rooms, a popular bar, and straightforward, honest pricing.
Banbury Road
A well-run Victorian B&B on the prestigious Banbury Road with beautifully maintained rooms, excellent breakfasts, and the kind of genuine hospitality that chain hotels can't replicate. Short bus or cycle ride to the city centre.
Iffley Road
A highly rated B&B on the Iffley Road with six beautifully kept rooms, homemade jams at breakfast, and owners who know Oxford inside out. A 20-minute walk from Christ Church through the meadow.
Holywell Street
A cluster of 17th-century Dutch cottages on the medieval lane of Bath Place, steps from the Bodleian, offering some of Oxford's most atmospheric rooms — small, stone-walled, and utterly unlike any other hotel in the city.
Banbury Road
A smart, affordable hotel on the Banbury Road with comfortable, well-designed rooms and a reliable continental breakfast. Excellent value given Oxford's premium pricing, with regular bus connections to the centre.
City Centre
A beautifully converted 18th-century bank on the High Street with an extraordinary collection of contemporary British art on its walls, 43 well-appointed rooms, and a lively brasserie. The central position — steps from Christ Church and the Bodleian — is unbeatable.
