6/10 Good

Decent hotel, good connection to the city center, very friendly staff but overall nothing special.
Gabriela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Service focused quirky boutique hotel.

Service focused boutique hotel. Andrew on reception was exceptional, couldn't help us enough. Hotel is lovely, fantastic decoration and design, so much to look at it was really fun and quirky. So quirky that for breakfast a toy train runs around the breakfast room. The room was lovely (105) however the double glazing was rubbish and we heard all of the cars going past which woke us early. You can park up, pay and leave your car there and get buses into town centre. No bar but plenty of restaurants and bars in summer town.

Fab stay

Great hotel, room was much bigger than we were expecting and nice view of the garden. Service was always friendly, and great value breakfast. Easy to get into town with regular buses right outside. Summertown itself is really nice too, lots of little shops and cafes. We didn't get parking at the hotel as it was full, but there's a car park 2 minutes away

Fabulous stay, team couldn’t be more helpful. Spacious room, fantastic breakfast. Lovely to stay in an independent rather than chain. Will definitely return.

Cold room

Very cold room. Heating was then sorted out but not the usual service or standard this trip

10/10 Exceptional

lovely little hotel with an English aire

This was our third stay at Galaxie. This time, our room was smaller than the others but still nice. It's a lovely little hotel with parking in the back, a nice conservatory and a distinctly English flair. Think dark paints, vintage furniture, lots of paintings and bric-a-brac scattered throughout. Helpful friendly staff and a great Summer Town location - 20 min walk to downtown and 5 min taxi/bus ride.

Thin walls

Room was nice and fair price but walls were thin. Could hear the person in the next room coughing all night

That was good. Only elevatori for old people missing.

10/10 Exceptional

Great service!

Service is great (service, cleaning and cooking staff is all great!). I just hope there will be a stool (or one more chair) to sit on so it’s easier for me to do our work at the same time. That said, great service!!
Angela, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely quirky place . Excellent breakfast and lots of choice . Rooms are nicely decorated with comfy beds ( superior rooms) we were at the front . My only issues are the entrance to the rear car park is very tight ! The room was noisy as at the front and very hot hence we had the window open as the roof window and bathroom velux wouldn’t open . Apart from that it was fabulous place to stay whilst we went to the game fair , Justin was so helpful with walkable restaurants all 3 recommend we’re super .

They are renovating the entrance so it was a bit messy
Alyson, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very quirky property. Room was nice and bathroom excellent. Bed comfortable but pillows not nice. Heating system constantly clunking through the night which resulted in a poor nights sleep.
Claire, 1-night trip

Rooms on this site are cheaper so you'll be put in the worst room in the house!

Smelly one star hotel

Smelly hotel with tiny beds. Men at the the front desk didn’t care and couldn’t care about his job. Had to carry luggage 3 floors without help and No one seem to care. Hotel is far from downtown this more of a one star hotel.
Christian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The reception was left unmanned and had to wait. Finally received my room and as soon as I walked into the room it smelled of a dirty port a potty. The room was old, stained, and smelled bad. Sheets and pillows looked dirty. I should have paid a little more and stayed at Oxford Central Center area hotels.
Rob, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointing

Not a king sized bed and certainly not a superior room. Average at best. Very dusty with cobwebs Fan didn’t work nor the controls for velux windows Lighting was awful and no dressing table. Room was very hot and thermostat didn’t seem to work- if it did, there were no instructions and it was not simple to operate. Opened the side windows but the blind rattled all night. Pillows were thin. The shower ran half hot and half cold out of the same head at the same time which made it very uncomfortable. The room stank of fried food in the morning due to the kitchen being below. TV didn’t have solid internet connection so couldn’t watch Netflix. This should have been an £80 room. Get far far better from a travelodge. Shame because we had saved for a special treat and felt truly disappointed.

accueil sympathique, petit déjeuner varier, possibilité de parking sur place. seul les chambres aurait besoin d'un peut plus d'entretient et nettoyage.
