Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre

8/10 Good
"The first night was tough. My room was on the ground floor next to an extremely noisy neighbour , slamming doors every 5 minutes to their friends room then back. The preceding repeated until 12am. The second night was even worse, their girlfriends joined them so more visitings in between rooms with slamming doors plus yelling in Chinese. I couldn’t take it anymore so the front desk called them to calm down but it didn’t work. I wanted to switch rooms but was told it’s fully booked. After I pleaded for few more minutes, the night manager moved me to a room that was reserved for another guest. That night I finally find peace. I appreciated the effort the staff made to accommodate my situation. Other things I can think of was that the bed was more comfortable on the higher floor I moved to than the ground floor."

"The hotel was great for the price. Clean rooms and comfy beds. Staff were lovely and the breakfast looked good too (although we went swimming and missed it!) The bathrooms are a bit tired but everything worked fine. The swimming pool was a great added bonus too! Again the leisure facilities are a bit tired but perfectly clean and all working! Would definitely stay again and recommend."

"Great hotel, but breakfast could be better We had an enjoyable stay at the Oxford Belfry Hotel & Spa. The hotel was pleasant overall, and the room, cleanliness and staff were all good. We only used the swimming pool in the spa, which we enjoyed, although there weren’t enough loungers available. It seemed that some guests may have reserved them while having treatments, leaving nowhere for others to sit. The main disappointment was breakfast, which wasn’t quite the standard I expected from this type of hotel. The fried eggs looked as though they had been sitting out for hours and were hard, and the breakfast overall was underwhelming. Despite these issues, we had a good stay and would consider returning, although the spa seating and breakfast could definitely be improved."
