We enjoyed a very pleasant stay at this wonderful hotel, definitely one of the jewels in Oxford's crown. A very grand, elegant and stylish hotel. The staff are friendly and courteous; the decor tasteful and a genteel ambiance abounds. Our suite definitely had the wow factor with imposing views overlooking the Ashmoleum museum. It was beautifully furnished and decorated in... More

We stayed at the Randolph for 4 nights in February and had a wonderful stay. I had a problem with my bath on the first day but the staff were very helpful and moved all my bags to another room for me(which was bigger). I would Highly Recommend the Morse Bar for a relaxing drink with very friendly and helpful... More

Carpets were filthy - bed was at breaking point - so dusty could barely see things properly. Staff stuck up, rude and so ignorant!!!! The Spa -... More

I stayed here for one night in February with my girlfriend. Having stopped here before and had a good experience, I was disappointed this time around. The room was a lot smaller than last time (although the same type/price band of room). It's got all the amenities you'd expect (T&C making, ironing board, trouser press, etc) but it's nothing special... More

We spent five nights at the Randolph last week on university business. The hotel is a Victorian gem--very atmospheric. The lobby is not large, but there is a cozy bar and a large, elegant dining room. Another room seems to be for afternoon tea and it was also pretty. We had asked for a deluxe room, and the first one... More

Enjoyed the whole ambience, polite attentive staff, clean comfortable room. The outside world did not intrude. We enjoyed the ease of stepping out the front door of the hotel into the city centre. Will do it again More

the Randolph Hotel (as was) has always been the centre of Oxford, opposite the Ashmolean Museum and close to the colleges. The Macdonald chain has revamped, renovated and not lost the atmosphere in the process-fabulous breakfasts, afternoon teas, drinks in the Morse Bar-for as you affecionados of the Tv series will know, lots happen in that bar. I had not... More

We didnt stay here, but i popped in to have a look around and use the ladies. I could imagine Morse sitting in any of the bars with a pint, and could just picture myself having afternoon tea there too, but may have to save up a bit first! More
