Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Location! This was an excellent choice to walk all over Oxford, the breakfast (for a fee) was superb & met dietary restrictions. The staff and Lobby area are wonderful. My only small complaint is the general WiFi is not great, but by joining their corporate membership program, you can access a better network AND get a complimentary beverage."
