The room was cold, dirty, small and in need of total refurbishment. They had apparently started the refurb!!! The breakfast and drinks in the rooms were cheap unknown products and lacked flavour, sausages cooked then re heated isn't good. I think their cleaner was very short, as the tops of things were very dusty and dirty. We didn't bath as... More

The staff are friendly but the room was small and needs updating. Wasn't the best value for money we found and will look elsewhere next time. More

The rooms at this hotel were clean & well cared for. The staff treated everyone as if they were friends. The breakfast choices were large & everything was excellent. The owner greeted everyone at breakfast as if he had known them a long time. He went out of his way to make you feel comfortable. The stafff was very knowledgeable... More

The review applies to July 2010. High season - everything else was fully booked. When we arrived, there was no sign of our booking, but a room materalized anyway when we paid our stay in full to get the suspicious expression off the manager's face.

This was booked as the last part of a ten day tour of the country and as a surprise for me by my partner. What a shock he got upon arrival. Having looked at glowing reviews from other websites only to get there and find hotel in desperate need of refurbishment and staff in need of manners. Having since found... More

Can't believe some of the reviews I've just read! Our stay at the Victoria was very pleasant. Infact I had one of the best nights sleep I've had in a long time. The linen was fresh and clean, the room tidy and welcoming. The gentleman who aided us at breakfast time was polite and helpful. For a 2 star hotel... More

The Victoria Hotel, two star, (but merits a one) lacks style, personality, warmth, a decent décor and enough hot water to cater for two individuals who wish to take separate showers. We were in Oxford on the 18th September to see and hear Stephen Fry talk about his second book at the New Theatre Oxford. It had been a splendid... More
