Great place!

Our stay was great! Good location close to all the main things in Oxford as well as a great pub right in front of the hotel. The only reason for taking off a star is that our air conditioner made this rumbling vibrating sound the whole time and through the night which woke us up…. But other than that a great place to stay!

Our stay at Museum Hotel Oxford was amazing thanks to its staff and location. Khadija was of great help, she assisted us promptly when we had questions about the hotel and she was able to recommend locations nearby to explore and have food. The location was in short walking distance to many main attractions.

Comfy and quiet

This hotel isn’t like a traditional hotel, it has no front desk and everything automated. We were able to get a quick response when we had trouble with the blind in our room and the room was nice, comfy bed and pillows. It’s in a great location for walking around Oxford!

Quaint hotel near Christ Church College. Walk up only. Room small but very updated, modern tv lighting sky lights, etc. Lounge open 24x7 with free drinks & snacks, breakfast which was great when you are jet lagged. Hotel is next to pub which was loud on Saturday night. Staff was wonderful and accommodating when an early checkout was needed. HIghly recommend!!!!

Simple, clean, no fuss hotel room.

Great solo stay - was pretty much self service - you get texted your building, room access code, and also the wifi details - theres no reception or staff visible as such (at least, in the front part of the building where I was staying), but it's clean and comfortable enough. There were stairs and a spiral staircase to access my particular hotel room, so check if you have accessibility requirements.

I didn’t realize it was a property that you check yourself in and out of so when we got there early we had to call to find out where we could store our luggage. Once we talked to them they were very responsive.

The customer service was beyond expectations. We were met outside and our bags brought in and up for us. The room was ready early. When we checked out we mentioned we were heading to the train so she packed a lovely bag of waters and snacks for us. It was such a kind act.

Reasonable room, shame about the room temperature.

Enjoyed the room and adjacent kitchenette facilities. However, the air conditioning unit was not functioning properly and consequently the room was too hot and not comfortable. Opening the roof light was the only way to cool the room to a reasonable temperature. Unfortunately, we had to close the roof light as we were awoken at 03:00 by a group of people shouting and swearing loudly in the courtyard area immediately below our room. It was an unnecessarily restless and uncomfortably hot night.

Good place

Very difficult to contact reception bc there is no central location. Had to use data and call them for a code to get in. That cost us $$. Room was ok...window blind on one window did not work, and could hear everything in next room. Luckily they were fairly quiet except when on their phones. Nice lounge with water and coffee.

Smells like sewage

The whole hotel including the bedrooms smells like sewage. They clearly have a plumbing problem as I could hear the pipes bubbling and emitting a stench throughout the night. Impossible to sleep in. Avoid!

Staying here has been a great experience. It was very easy to find and in a prime location! The rooms are clean and the air con was a bonus. We especially liked the laminated cards that told the history of the building as well as interesting features about it. The one note I do have is that Expedia lists that door and rooms codes will be sent out 72 hours in advance. When it was the day of and I hadn’t heard anything I started to worry. I sent a message to the staff through Expedia and heard back within a couple of hours that that information was sent when it was okay for us to enter the property, which ended up being just a tad in the early side, a plus of us. We heard other guests going to and from their rooms, but other wise a very quiet stay. Well pleased, would definitely come back again.

The place looked great till I booked what I thought was a hotel and then got the email that explained it was an Airbnb but I was unable to get a refund. I would not have booked if I knew it wasn’t a hotel, so I was annoyed before my stay even started. The room was awful and only had a skylight. Pillows were lumpy and cheap. Bath products were not rituals like the pictures showed. Black mold on the shower sealant. Room had a very bright green light in it that kept waking me up. They did spend money doing the place up but went cheap on toiletries, pillows and bedding. Also no glasses in the room to get a drink. And don’t get me started on the ridiculously long codes you have to enter to get into two doors. If your cell phone dies you are homeless as there is no reception and you can’t call them after 8pm
