Check-in was appalling. Even though I'd called ahead and requested an early check-in, and had it confirmed, I was left to use the toilet in reception to get changed and head out for the afternoon/ evening. The room was very cramped and decorated as if a blind person had been let loose in the 3rd aisle of Lidl. There was no window and the bed was possibly the most uncomfortable I've ever had the misfortune to sleep in. An all round shocking establishment.

Very dated hotel. Our room was in the basement and was very small (not much room between the end of the bed and the wall), AC unit was loud all night but had to stay on because of the heat in the room. We had no sleep and left at 7am just to leave the hotel.
4.2
It was ok and right in the city centre. Was mystified why the lady on reception asked me to email my passport information to the hotel!! I didn't bother.
4.2
The hotel is in a great city centre location, within easy walking distance of the main tourist sights. However, this also had a disadvantage if you are a light sleeper, as there were large groups of people talking outside until about 2am (I assumed from people outside pubs / clubs) that could be heard even on the 3rd floor. Unfortunately our stay also coincided with the glass bottle bins being collected at 6am.
On the positive side, the hotel staff were friendly and helpful, everything was spotless, all the facilities worked and there was good access control from the ground floor.
The bed was very comfortable, and heating / air conditioning worked very well despite being incredibly quiet.
Buses to and from the Peartree and Redbridge Park and Ride services came very close to the hotel (about 2 doors away on the Peartree inbound service!) Buses to the Oxford United ground were also close by.
There is no breakfast at the hotel, but the Oxford Brunch Bar next door was excellent and gave a 10% discount to hotel guests.
The area around the hotel was safe and there were a good variety of restaurants and pubs within a 10 minute walk.
We would probably stay again if visiting Oxford in the future.

My one (short) night at George St. Hotel was fine. For a luxury hotel, I found the facilities to be a little on the shabby side (there was a sliding door that did't quite close, and the warren of mirrored, gold-trimmed corridors that lead up to the first-floor reception were quite dated; the stairs are also uneven and marked with striped hazard tape) though everything was basically fine for a single night's stay. The staff was friendly, and the shower was excellent.
The cleaning crew that came in early in the morning was very noisy, however, and this wasn't exactly what I was looking for the morning after a late formal dinner. Underwhelming for its description on the web (the Randolph it is not) but actually totally OK.
4.2
The GSH was very accommodating and comfortable. They brought in a full-size twin bed for our young adult and that and the king bed were very comfortable. Happy to store luggage before check in and after check out. Great location and easy to walk to/from the Oxford train and coach stations.
4.2
We had a small room with no window but still felt open and comfortable. The staff are excellent, the rooms clean and comfortable. We will be back.
4.2
This hotel is in a great location for walking the central area of Oxford. Staff is very kind and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable.
4.2
I had a wonderful time at The George Street Hotel. The location is perfectly located within walking distance to famous sites, the bathroom was 5 star, and the small refrigerator was a lovely surprise since a fridge in a hotel room is extremely rare in the UK and Europe.
4.2
Our first night after an overnight flight. Couldn’t get into room till 2:30 pm and we were exhausted. Probably wouldn’t use it again because of price
4.2
Definitely not even a 2 or 3 star hotel let alone a 4 star. Needs seriously updating. It is clean and very close to everything in the city centre but that is the only benefits. I don’t know how it can even be legal to have a windowless room in the basement beside where they do the laundry, there were alarms going off all night. I’m

Lift not working. Plug in basin not working. No window so very stuffy room & difficult to get to sleep. Ridiculous to charge a lot extra for a room with a window. Very expensive for standard of hotel - without even breakfast included. Wouldn't ever consider staying at this hotel again.
4.2
Good location
4.2
The hotel is easily accessible to all the key attractions. It has a nice atmosphere, and I really appreciated the historical architecture. While I don’t have major complaints, I must say that the room was a bit too small for me, and at times, I could hear conversations from outside the room.
4.2
Awkward entrance, the room had no window and is definitely not representative of the images shown. The toilet barely flushed and the bed was extremely uncomfortable and I could hear talking from the front desk all night. If I’d have known about any of this I would have avoided and I will not be staying again.
4.2
The term 'hotel' is definitely an overreach at this property and I question its claims at 5 star.
At best, this property is a 3 1/2 - 4 star guest house.
Note, there are absolutely no facilities at this property other than reception and the bedrooms.
I have also never come across a '5 star hotel' that charges to rent an umbrella!
The rooms are comfortable and relatively clean albeit very small and quite basic.
They have a very mixed style with touches of what i think the owners thinks looks blingy and shiny, very odd and not fitting for the area and style of the building.
Had it marketed itself as a 4 star guest house, would have gotten full top reviews. But as a 5 star hotel - its is definitely not!
Would i stay again? No probably not. There are far better options around.
4.2
The Hotel was in a great area, it was central for everything going on. My room was clean and tidy the staff were friendly I couldn’t ask for more.
4.2
Very difficult to access and not user friendly to check in
4.2
Great location in the city center.
4.2
More dated than luxurious, room crammed with enough furniture to cause mild claustrophobia.
Beds were super soft.
Location is really good.
4.2
Rooms don’t look like the pictures. I had what turned out to be a single bedded inside room without a window, for around £250. Not a great experience at all
4.2
The hotel is very far even from 3 stars standards.
4.2
Comfortable beds in quite a small room. Hotel itself is quite dated but is fine for a one night stay.
4.2
This was possibly the worst hotel stay I've ever had. Where to begin? The false advertising? I did not have a balcony. Instead I was in a windowless basement without heat in spring. The furniture literally was duck taped together and there was adhesive on the mirrors. There was no door on the closet. I could hear music much of the night from the bar next door. The rug was filthy and there was no tea or coffee for the coffee pot. The make-up mirror light did not work. I asked to be moved since I was sold a balconied room via Hotels.com. Owner offered to move me for 75 pds more, he 'couldn't do anything better' (although he owns the hotel). Guess God might've been angry? When I complained about the damaged furniture he over explained that the 'last guest' had done all that. Sure. I believe you. Finally, after repeated requests I was given a 100pd credit - which I've yet to see 4 months later. This hotel should be removed from Hotels.com platform.
4.2
Arrived early and staff was very accommodating. Location is perfect for walking around city center. Hotel is clean and quiet. Great stay.
4.2
Weird entrance, unfriendly staff, took an hours worth of in person conversations and calls to change my stay by 1 night, definitely not more than a 3 star stay. Good location.
4.2
Love this beautiful hotel, enjoyed the friendly and helpful staff, and very convenient location.
4.2
Very noisy at night, you could hear the street noises and people partying.
4.2
Amazing people at the lobby. Friendly, kindly and very helpful with your request
Hotel very well situated in the middle of the city
4.2
My recent stay at the George Street Hotel in Oxford was a stark contrast to the expectations set by their online portrayal. The promotional photos depict a luxurious and spacious environment, but the reality was far from it.
First and foremost, there is virtually no lobby to speak of. This was a surprise upon arrival and set the tone for the rest of the stay. Additionally, while generally polite, the staff appeared to lack proper hospitality training. Their service felt inexperienced and at times, unprofessional.
The rooms were well-appointed but notably small. While not uncomfortable, the size was definitely underwhelming compared to what was advertised. Housekeeping was another area that left much to be desired. The level of cleanliness was not up to standard, detracting from the stay's overall comfort and enjoyment.
Overall, I would rate the George Street Hotel as a high 3-star establishment. It does not meet the criteria for a 5-star hotel by any means. For the price and the expectations set by their marketing, I was quite disappointed. I would suggest considering other options if you seek a truly luxurious stay in Oxford. There is NO restaurant at the hotel at all.

This is an excellent little hotel, exceptionally clean, very comfortable, beautifully decorated and ideally located.
4.2
It was such a great trip and the comfort of room.
4.2
Excellent staff, extremely friendly and helpful.
4.2
The George Street Hotel offered affordable accommodation in the heart of Oxford. You can walk to anything and there are lots of restaurants in the area. It was a short walk to the bus station for transport to London or the airports. Yes the rooms are small and yes you can hear some street noise but to me that’s expected in a character hotel in the middle of a busy city. Would definitely stay here again.
4.2
Service was great and the room was clean and very comfortable. We were originally checked into a room that was already occupied, but the staff quickly fixed the mistake and switched us to another room.
4.2
Wonderful stay in Oxford. The hotel was very helpful as we had some special needs that they accommodated. The hotel is very located in the town and close to transportation needs.
4.2
Quite good location, accommodating staff, easily walkable to all local attractions.
4.2
The George Street Hotel has extremely well appointed and clean rooms, but we were disappointed that our Deluxe Double room was so tiny and cramped. My husband, who is tall but not large, had trouble negotiating in the tiny en-suite bathroom. The Window shade was broken, unable to be raised, when we arrived. This was fixed the second day of our 2 night stay. The location is perfect for getting your bearings in Oxford, and the staff were all friendly. As this was our first visit to Oxford, I can’t compare it to other accommodations.
4.2
Good location, value for money l
4.2
For the price, five stars and compared to the pictures I was quite shocked. The room smelled like damp.
