Overall, we had a good stay, but I expected a little more for the price. The location is convenient for visiting Oxford, and the breakfast was very good with a good choice of food. We also made use of the swimming pool, which was a nice bonus.

Our family room had a double and a single bed, but once all three of us were in there (including our 4-year-old), it felt quite cramped. For a two-night stay it was manageable, but I think anything longer would have been uncomfortable.

The pool changing facilities were adequate rather than great. There were towels left around, making them feel a bit untidy, and my husband wasn’t comfortable taking our young son into the men’s changing room.

The hotel is clearly a refurbishment of the old Jurys Inn. Some areas have been modernised nicely, but you can still see the older parts of the building, which makes the overall impression feel a little dated.

Overall, it’s a perfectly good hotel in a good location, and we enjoyed our stay, but given the price, I had expected a more polished experience. I would stay again depending on length of stay, but would also look around to see if there were other options first.

Clean and air-conditioned room, helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was very good, and the bar was well staffed with polite and friendly staff. The only negative was having to pay for parking.Other than that I would highly recommend staying at this hotel 4star.

Loved the White Company products in the bathroom.

Iron and ironing board useful too.
Breakfast was great from cereal, yoghurts, fruit juices, sausage, bacon, beans, mushrooms, fried, poached & scrambled eggs and omelettes to order, Danish pasties and coffee station highly recommend.
The car park was also free for hotel guests.

We booked this hotel specifically because it advertised air‑conditioned rooms during an extreme heatwave. Upon arrival, we were shocked to discover that the room was unbearably hot and the air conditioning completely non‑functional. The receptionist then admitted that none of the rooms in the hotel had working air conditioning — a critical failure that was deliberately not disclosed in advance.

What makes this even more unacceptable is that the hotel chose to notify guests about the sauna being out of service, yet failed to mention a far more serious issue affecting every single room. This is not just poor communication — it is a clear lack of transparency and basic duty of care toward guests.

We were left with no viable option but to leave late at night and scramble to find alternative accommodation at significant additional cost and stress. This completely ruined what was meant to be a special trip.

This experience was unacceptable on every level. Misleading information, zero accountability, and a complete disregard for guest wellbeing. We will absolutely not return and strongly advise others to avoid this hotel.

Lovely and very competent staff. We were grateful for air conditioning but the bathroom was not nice. The normal
shower pressure was boiling hot so we had to take very weak pressure showers. The meal in the pub was really disappointing. We’ve stayed at Leonardo Royal near St. Paul’s in London and it was half the price and much nicer. We won’t stay here again.

The room was nice and clean, with everything you need. Plus a lovely big shower.
We ordered some food to the room, I had a pretty basic sandwich that cost £12. Certainly not good value for money
I found some of the staff a little rude. And there was an unexpected £8 car parking fee, that we weren't informed about on our arrival. I just happened to notice a sign on the desk when we got back at night.

Once I got the room there was hairs in the bathroom and bedsheets, but room was overall tidy. Seems to been cleaned in a rush. Also carpet has shown it's age with stains. Breakfast was lovely and Aircon room worked well for my one night. Although for a premium i may consider a different hotel in future. Reception was too busy at times to complain and I was in a rush so ended up just ignoring the issues.

The reception area was a mess and a random unplugged running machine didn’t make a great first impression. Reception staff weren’t the most friendly / welcoming I’ve experienced but professional.

My room smelt of stale food / body odour. Despite having the air con on for several hours when I went out, it was still lingering.

Bathroom was very basic and difficult for get out of the bath after showering. The bathroom door was also in need of some repair.

The hotel was a good 15 minute Uber ride into town so if looking to go out in an Oxford then would suggest a neater hotel.

The bath had an 8 inch long section of rust on the rim and lime scale build up on the bottom part of the shower door. Other than that the rest was lovely.

The pillows were very thin and felt like rolled up carpet, how I wish I had taken my feather pillow. The bed felt nice and comfy when sat on the side but both my wife and I had a poor night's sleep, she woke with back ache and I had a painful hip from being a side sleeper.
On a positive the room was nice and clean. We ate at Leo's and we both had a nice meal.
Would we return - no.

Great stay in clean property with helpful staff. Location isn't too bad as it's only a 10 minute drive into centre of Oxford. Parking bit of a pain as the car park gets very full. Hotel is huge so be prepared to walk a distance to get to your room, only a problem if you are disabled like me. Disabled bays an issue as only 3 available. wasn't impressed with breakfast, it was OK but nothing special. Good facilities and everything you need in your room. We were by the conferences for our stay and their is a funny musty smell in the rooms but this wasn't too strong.

Sadly there was an issue with the room we booked, so we were given a twin room with disability features - it was fine, though could do with a bit more upkeep. The facilities weren't unuseable, but the height differences weren't the most comfortable for an able bodied person - it's maybe something the staff can consider when switching rooms.

A really convenient hotel for central Oxford (and Blenheim) as close to the park and ride. There's a bus stop directly outside the hotel that takes you right into the centre of the city for less than £3 - meaning you can avoid the congestion & clean air zone charges by leaving the car in the huge car park. Reception is lovely, as are the staff, lots of little extras...free fruit, free cold drinks & spritz for the grown ups - which on the hotest day of the year was very welcome! The bedroom was spacious & the air con actually worked & the room cooled within minutes, which as the temps reached 34° was a huge bonus & meant we slept soundly! Only criticism would be, whilst the bedroom looked relatively newly renovated, the bathroom was dire!!! The bath had repairs around the edge with sharp edges on the bath side, the door hinges were orange with rust and the bottom of the door had huge chunks of psint missiing... tbf the whole bathroom felt like it hadn't been updated since the early 80s & it was tiny! The bedroom was huge & could easily have given space up to a larger bathroom. We only stayed for one night so didnt raise the issue with the poorly repaired bathroom with reception, but when I stay here again (and I will stay here again!) I will insist that the room we are given have a much better/updated bathroom next time.

We had an absolutely excellent experience at Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and welcoming.

Both of our rooms were spacious, modern, and extremely comfortable. The second room we booked for our guests was equally impressive, and they were very happy with the comfort and overall experience. The cleanliness in both rooms was impeccable—everything felt fresh, well maintained, and thoughtfully arranged.

We truly appreciated the complimentary amenities, including parking, water, and fruits—small details that made a big difference and reflected genuine hospitality.

The location is perfect—peaceful and quiet, yet very convenient for accessing Oxford city center, making it ideal for a relaxed stay.

The staff were courteous, professional, and always ready to help, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Oxford—we would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed this as a family and booked it for the restaurant & facilities. The room was a family room large and well maintained. The pool was fantastic and the children had a great time. It’s a members club so expect to have to book a slot and be removed after 30 minutes on busy days. The time limitation wasn’t expected, along with the members priority over guests. But that’s for rules. You can’t book in longer just come back and hop you can get in. The reception is hit and miss, we must have had the wrong shifts of a grumpy, sharp direct lady who was dealing with car park complaints for charges for people attending courses. They weren’t happy and we were tarnished with the same contempt. The restaurant was affirmatively closed with a direct toy can eat from the bar menu. We went out taxi to the city was easy and our money welcomely accepted. We like to eat well as a family for 4 so that’s £700 thr hotel didn’t receive from us. Over all it’s an on the day hotel as the 4 star not 3 star was the rescue package of the second days FOH team and the first days leisure team. Bar team learn your drinks - a menu card look up for a GnT doesn’t swing it in a hotel of your “quality”. Do depending on what your going for, we had the added bonus of the builders outside our window on the Monday morning to make sure that we had left nice and early. Shame this could be a great hotel - like before at Jury’s Inn. Take this hotel for what it is a convenient stop off

Well i think the pool did blow my mind by how warm it was. I think having to pay for parking and breakfast was unexpected. The showerhead in the room needed descaling as the water didn’t come out much and the kids doughball starters in my opinion are far too big and too much bread for a child I would suggest 4 or 6 much smaller balls.
