First, the staff are wonderful - friendly and very accommodating. The location is quite convenient for any local shopping or visiting. Summertown is an easy half hour walk from Oxford City Center - or take the bus, of which there are many running throughout the day and evenings. Also, for the four of us, a cab back from city center costs just a bit more than the bus (9 vs 8) We had a twin room on the 3rd floor that was in back - very quiet - and fairly roomy. We would happily book again should we be back.

This is a very nice and unique hotel, true to the pictures. Although the room was small, like most hotels in Europe, it provided the right amount of space and didn't bother me at all. The room was decorated with taste and detail. The hotel is not in downtown, so you either walk for around 30 minutes, which I did most of the time, or you have to take the bus, which is conveniently close to the hotel. The only time I took the bus was when I arrived and left, as I had a carry-on; otherwise, it’s a nice walk to the city center.

Everything was perfect, highly recommended, thanks. The room was new, spacious, great bathroom, comfortable bed. Location super convenient for coming off the ring road and easy to get in to to town - masses of buses, we walked (25 mins). Best of all were the staff: all were beyond excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We even left something in the room and had to go back to get it... it was waiting at reception when we returned. Congratulations to all for an outstanding job.

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.
