10/10 Exceptional

Unique

Character filled place with a lovely, quiet room. Great decor, comfy bed and a clean bathroom with a great shower. Friendly staff. 10 minute walk over scenic bridge to the heart of the university area. Recommend.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great position.

Room was nicely decorated and we did appreciate the fridge, and bonus ear plugs and eye masks, though we didn’t really need them as we stayed early in week. The climb to the top was a challenge for us, but may not bother more able bodied people, but I wouldn’t want to try getting big bags up there! My only concern during the stay was the lack of clear fire escape and or emergency details. Top floor and only one way to escape. Whilst we were comfortable, price was good, and the hotel well located.. I wouldn’t stay again, because of my fire concerns. I did note that they appeared to have roof sprinkler system.

Quirky and great value

Quirky venue in a great location. Easily walkable for the conference I was attending. WhatsApp comms were super easy and responses within seconds. Was all I needed and loved the decor. Would stay again 100%
Rachel Sian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

No staff on site and trying to find the door in was a bit of a chore as it’s Aaron’s the corner on Circus St. Room was very clean and done up nicely. No air conditioning so that could be a significant issue. They had a fan going and temps dropped a bit during the night so we werefine

10/10 Exceptional

I had a wonderful stay at the Mad Hatter! It was a convenient walk to shops, the Christ Church Meadow, restaurants, etc. The eccentric decorations on the property were adorable. The hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. Pro Tip: make sure you do the virtual check-in before you are too jetlagged to understand the instructions! I made the mistake of not handling the check-in until the last minute and I was so tired and confused that I had trouble with understanding the email and completing the check-in The staff was extremely kind and patient with me.
Darby, 2-night trip

The room was beautifully decorated, a very comfy bed, and it was all very clean. The shower was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and really helpful.

Clean, modern, whimsically-renovated rooms and a superb location. Noise isn't really an issue. Staff is responsive and winsome. I look forward to returning!

Fabulous hotel, great stay

The hotel was amazing! Ideally situated Lovely themed rooms, very quirky and brilliantly authentic. Spacious, clean, comfortable and great facilities. The staff were attentive and responded swiftly and positively to our communications about the booking. Attention to detail and an even a kind gift for my daughter’s birthday. Would certainly recommend.

2/10 Poor

Great venue Terrible Noise

Great rooms but a pub downstairs with skull crushing noise till 11pm each night in spite of the ear plugs provided ! A pity as the rooms and location are excellent.
Grant, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely room, although extremely hot in Summer. We were grateful for a large fan left in the room. The staff were quite standoffish and we felt like we were a hassle asking for anything, so that is the main reason we didn't give this 4/5.
Sophie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel room was extremely clean, comfortable and nicely updated. The area is walkable and close to the High Street area. The only draw back is there is a bar on the first floor and stays open very late. Very loud.
Jose, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location within Oxford. The room was clean ans presentable with a comfortable bed and good size. This place would have gotten a 4 or even 5* review if it weren't for the loud music playing from downstairs. We were told this would stop at midnight, and so we made sure to stay out until past midnight. However, even returning at 1am, the music was still incredibly loud and bassy into the room, up until 2am. Do not stay here if you intend to sleep before 2am.
Samuel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

A noisy bar reverberated into our tiny room each night. And it was a 3 story walk up with no lift.
greta, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Très bonne surprise dans Oxford centre

Logement tout neuf, joli et avec une literie digne d'un palace. Un tout petit peu bruyant si vous avez la chambre qui donne côté rue principale. Une lumière de sécurité dans la chambre éclairait un peu trop la chambre pendant la nuit, mais cela va surement être réglé car nous l'avons signalé. Il est facile de se garer au parking public st clement (mais payant) situé à 3min à pied. Je recommande ce logement, proche du centre à pied et je reviendrai avec plaisir si les prix n'augmentent pas.
Benoit, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bar with Rooms

Our room was on the top floor but sounded like the bar was next door. Music blared out until after 1am on Saturday night, followed by revellers shouting on the street. No chance of getting any sleep before 1.30am. No breakfast facilities and self check in. Staff (Jess) were very responsive, but service quite slow in the bar. A bar with rooms rather than a hotel with a bar.
