Location

“This property wins on location; it's truly at the heart of Oxford. Its 17th-century cottages offer a quirky, historic ambiance, though some may find the old building a bit cramped and creaky. What stands out to me is the personalised service, from flexible parking to the staff's genuine warmth.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Bath Place Hotel is often praised for its character and central Oxford location, placing guests steps away from historic Oxford and next door to the Turf Tavern. Guests appreciate the continental breakfast, as well as the coffee, tea, and biscuits provided in the rooms, although some have found the included breakfast offering to be basic. The hotel's historic charm is evident in its 17th-century building.

The accommodation presented great style. The public rooms were also great, quaint, a bit offbeat, and full of history. All areas had excellent cleanliness. Car parking proved very important to us. I loved this hotel.

I noticed very slight noise due to thin walls.

The breakfast was included, and the pastries and coffee were acceptable. At least i didn't have to pay extra for that.

The room felt cramped, barely enough space to move around, and the walls seemed paper-thin because i could hear every noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms. It was disruptive and made relaxation difficult. i expected better sound insulation given the price.

i was so excited about the location, right near the colleges! (it's a dream for history buffs like me). the staff were also helpful and kind .

my room was down the lane from the main building, meaning i had to walk outside to get to reception and breakfast. it wasn't a big deal, but it could be annoying in bad weather, i suppose. also, there weren't any fire detectors in my room, a slight concern.
