Yes, it was a heat wave when I stayed there, but the room was like an oven. Only a small opening for the window with the Sun beating on it all day! They should have kept the curtains closed, by the time I checked in at 4 pm the room was unbearable with only a small fan moving the hot air around the room. I was unable to sleep. Also, the TV didn’t work just pixelating I don’t know if it was the fan interfering with it.. also the Internet is not secure - definitely not a four-star Hotel.
Saying that with staff were lovely and it was a great breakfast

The absence of air conditioning and the fact that bedroom windows only had one small top window that could be opened meant that we experienced an extremely hot and uncomfortable night. This hotel property appears to be undergoing some refurbishment but unless it is going to install air conditioning, during hot weather it will not make the best of its superb position close to the centre of town

We loved this hotel. Great location away from the busy city centre but still had restaurants nearby. We stayed in Oxford for the British Grand Prix weekend and did not have a lot of time to explore Oxford but really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. Staff were wonderful and so friendly. I wish I had gotten the name of the sweet front desk lady because she always remembered mine and cheerfully greeted me whenever we returned from our busy day out. I have to give Josh a shout out who very early one morning provided me with a tray of coffee to take to my room since my fiancé and I decided to skip breakfast to get an early start to Silverstone. Very kind of him and he even offered to carry it upstairs to our room, although I declined as I didn’t want to put him out too much. Our room was the Trinity deluxe room. It was huge! I loved being able to open the windows for a cool breeze. Even with the windows open there was very little street noise. The amenities were wonderful. I always love having a robe and slippers provided. There was a small fridge in the room and an oscillating fan which was definitely needed since our stay was during a particularly warm summer weekend. The breakfast buffet seemed a little overpriced so for our last three mornings we went across Banbury Rd to a delicious little bakery called Barefoot for the best fresh cinnamon rolls and coffees. For lunch/dinner, The Rose and Crown pub on the same alleyway. We had Sunday roast at the lodge and loved it! 5 stars! :)

Our deluxe king was perfect for us! It provided a generous amount of room, had a very comfortable bed and our bathroom had the best large tub. The room was beautifully decorated and the staff catered to our every need. The breakfast was quite tasty and our dinner was amazing. Our stay from June 7-10, 2026 was not nearly long enough to see all that Oxford University had to offer, so we will be returning in the future.

Breakfast was not up to the standard of other hotels visited recently. Coffee was not good & offered with no choice of hot milk. Range of healthy breakfast food was limited. There are no lifts although reception staff carried our bags up to our second floor room. Our room was rather small and rather hot as there is no air conditioning. We found an electric fan in a draw and this made the overnight temperature bearable. Rather old fashioned decor. Plenty of car parking was a plus point but overall the hotel did not live up to our expectation given the price and breakfast was extra.

The hotel was easy to find with ample parking on site. The room was quite small but clean and well serviced. It was a very hot day and there is no air conditioning in the hotel and the small fan in the room was just not adequate to keep the temperature down. Something more powerful was needed that day. Otherwise, the hotel was excellent for our overnight stay.

Great hotel. Staff are exceptional: always welcoming, helpful and polite.Breakfast was great: served quickly and decent choices. There is plenty parking at hotel so you don’t have any distance to walk with luggage. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel where the buses are frequent and drop you in the town centre or you can walk the 20 minutes. Our room was spacious and immaculately clean. The only downside was visiting during a heatwave as the room was exceptionally warm and the fan was an essential addition to the room although air conditioning would have been great. The service from the staff in this hotel is the best.

Firstly the Positives
- Plenty of onsite parking - very good for Oxford
- The Staff were really friendly
Now the rest
- We planned to eat at the hotel in the evening, however not only was the restaurant fully booked so you could only eat in the bar area, it was a set Valentines menu with a very limited choice, so we ended up eating out :-(
- The Room was up 2 flights of narrow stairs with no lift......not ideal for carrying loads of luggage
- Breakfast - although the continental element is free to browse and serve yourself, the rest is order specific which didnt allow for flex so much, and also if you wanted anything over a tea/coffee (Cappuccino/latte) it was an additional £2
- The Tea & Coffee facilities in the room were hidden away in a bottom drawer on a tray which made it tricky when trying to get it out

Overall, I struggled to see where the 4 star rating has come from, personally, I have had a better experience in a number of 3 star hotels

We had a lovely stay at the Cotswold Lodge Hotel. It has a lot going for it! It’s in walkable distance to Oxford City Centre, it’s one of very few hotels that offer on-site parking. The team were great and we were well looked after. The bar was well stocked - the wine was nice and my husband was glad to see a dark beer option. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. It is quite dated and would benefit from spruce up, but beauty is only skin deep and I would say the service outweighs the cosmetic element and I would recommend staying here.

The building is beautiful, the parking is on site, and the breakfast was amazing! Just a friendly reminder that there is NO AIR CONDITIONING. DO NOT BOOK a room unless you can confirm it has a balcony, otherwise, you are in a room that has a tiny window that only opens about 5 inches and you have zero circulation. I booked six rooms and two of us had the non-balcony rooms and we were a sweaty mess all night. Also, the front desk (four different employees) were easily confused. They messed up the room assignments twice and we lost alot of time checking in while trying to help them. During check out, they also got confused on our key returns which slowed us down again. Not sure I would stay again to be honest.

Lovely hotel in Oxford - requires lots of stairs!

Lovely little hotel near Oxford. Very convenient and walkable. The only negative is that I paid full price for a room that was up 3+ flights of stairs with little/no assistance from the team onsite. It was a lot of luggage traveling solo with two kids, and I would have appreciated the heads up that my room was up so many flights of stairs with many bags from 2 weeks of travel. I'd stay again but be wary for any travelers in a similar situation or with limited mobility.
