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 .

Undergoing refurb which is not declared prior to booking. Therefore like staying on a building site.
Rooms very basic indeed, nothing like the boutique Hotel experience that the listing and pictures would suggest.
Avoid.

Anna the site manager was great. She was able to provide me with a better room option when I was disappointed with my original room. She even comped my breakfast due to the inconvenience. Will definitely consider the Galaxie again when next in Oxford.

The staff was amazing. The breakfast delicious. The outside of the hotel was a little lacking in curb appeal. Seemed to be under construction. Overall a great experience.

Stylish property in walking distance from the city centre. Good breakfast.
2.0
Hotel is in a good location making it easy to get to the city centre from the bus stop close to the entrance. A small but comfortable room, nothing more was needed for my short stay though. High spec bathroom with a good powerful monsoon shower. The only negative is a lack of blackout curtains to the window, just a roller blind which alllowed a lot of light in

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.

The check-in was very slow and the concierge didn't even have a calculator to calculate the bill - did the calculation on paper!!!. The room was unpleasantly hot and the noise from passing traffic could be heard all night, disrupting sleep.

Great property. The rooms are a little small and tight and the walls are superrr thin; you can hear everything going on above & beside you. But, overall cute property and walkable distance to everything.

Great experience from beginning to end, parking was easy and not badly priced for Oxford. Reception staff were enquiring, gracious and very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Bed was comfy, room was adequate in size, bathroom a little cramped but served it's purpose and the shower was great. Breakfast was well worth upgrading to, excellent service and freshly cooked hot breakfast items and specific things (someone ordered an omelette) made to order. Coffee was good and rather punchy, checkout was easy. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. Well done to all the team at Galaxie - a great overnight stay, thankyou so much.

Have stayed here many times. Staff are always friendly and happy to help. Rooms are quirky and well appointed. Parking is no longer free - but £10 is fine. Easy location to walk to colleges, museums and restaurants. Feels like returning to an eccentric relative’s house!

Beautiful family run hotel. Fantastic cake and perfect for a visit to Oxford
1.5
Having been a regular visitor in the past was surprised & disappointed to find £10 extra charge for parking given the inaccessible nature of alternative parking at this very busy out of town roadside b&b. Apparently due to Hotels.com recent hike in commission?? Had large room (for which I paid extra) in unfortunate very noisy position at front ground floor - so no sleep this time. Also nearly fell in odd unexpectedly sunken bath, maybe a warning sign might not go amiss? Have had pretty decent stays here in past & had regularly recommended to others, now not so sure.

Decor was pleasant, room spacious, if not completely cleaned. Disappointed that the bar closed at 10, even fo residents.

The staff were very nice and the breakfast was quite good. A bus stop is just outside the property and the transportation is convenient. There are groceries and restaurants near by.

Charming inn/hotel. Breakfast and service overall were great. Decor very eclectic and stylish but could use a bit of a refresh in some areas. Would stay again.
