Josephine
Stayed here with our family. Everything was very nice. Easy to walk to places or take the bus.
Ana Carolina
Disaster place with NO LIFT and NO AC. They charge £350 and you only get loud ceiling fans! This is a cheap BnB pretending to be a hotel, it has no staff to help you carry your bags to the 3rd floor. DANGER: the stairs are very narrow and extremely unsafe, designed on a straight line per floor. All is focused on maximizing space and if you fall carry your bags they're nowhere to be found (there was nobody on property to help). Total disregard for the most basic safety guidelines. The bathroom has a flimsy cord that turns all lights at once (like a toy circus). The duvet cover in one of the beds smelled like it was not washed for a century and all the pillows were filthy losing threads like it had been shredded by a mad cat. I would have never stayed here if their website description were accurate and upfront about their hands-off approach to having no one on the property to help with bags, directions, food or the basic needs of traveling.
Karen
The room was very clean and spacious. Bed comfortable. Food left for us was much appreciated and everything we needed really. Staff member on at the weekend was very personable and most helpful when we enquired about public transport, etc. Hotel was in a very convenient place for us as we had to go to a concert at Blenheim. We had a very nice stay overall, would definitely return.
Karen
A great hotel, good location and value for money. Excellent parking.
John
For the price it was good value. The electric ceiling fan was reasonable at keeping it bearable on hot night.
If you are sensitive to noise ask to be at the back of the guest house.

Clean and comfortable, we did not see any staff but enjoyed our stay and found the location excellent
Gerard
This is a lovely place to stay - we have used Marlborough many times whilst our daughter has been at University. All aspects of the accommodation are great and it is very easy to get into the centre of Oxford from here.
Neil
Really lovely place with comfy bed, powerful shower, quiet room, good location and friendly staff. Only downside is the WiFi which fluctuated from very good to barely any signal and back. Quite frustrating, but my phone was also struggling so maybe it’s an issue with the area rather than the hotel.
Very nice place though, definitely return.

Great location. Quiet and peaceful hotel. Lots of natural light and cool breeze from the garden. The kitchenette has a real small sized refrigerator and not the useless dorm sized one. Waking distance to many great restaurants in Summertown with easy bus access to Oxford city center.
Dennis
Nice hotel. Staff were friendly and courteous. Clean room and property in great condition.
Robert
Great place to stay. The cooking facilities help as lot to keep cost down. Handy walk to Summertown for grocery shop in M & S. Very clean establishment, friendly staff.
Cathy
The room.was spotless, spacious and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. Parking was convenient and the property is well located for all Oxford has to offer.

Everything was great. Lovely room, with excellent facilities, bus stop close by. Brilliant
Helen
Nice big beds, helpful staff and good sized rooms. Fridge and tea making facilities were very welcome. We didn't have breakfast, but went into Summertown for that. I locked myself out of my room and staff were very helpful and sorted it straight away.
Niladri
One of the best B&B rooms I have stayed in. Room size was BIG! Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully provided. The whole place was aesthetically decorated yet very practical - could not fault it. Limited parking on site, but more off-road parking available on side road.
We had to leave early, so did not have breakfast, so cannot comment on that.
Overall 5 stars and highly recommended!

Very narrow entrance to the property. Mattresses were lumpy. Access to shower difficult due to height of bath, which was slippery would benefit from having some sort of anti slip in shower area.
Positive-large room and private bathroom plus kitchenette made for a good stay. Lovely staff. Great introductory tour and advice on local information. Thank you

Very comfortable twin room with a bathtub! Clean facilities and helpful staff. Loved having a kitchenette so we could shop for some simple meals to balance all the vacation eating. Thank you!
Nicholas
A very quaint, clean stay. Nearby to bus stops that run into the Oxford city center. Recommend for a nice, quiet stay in Oxford.
Russell S
Comfortable room and very friendly, helpful staff. A little noisy with a barking dog nearby and heavy footfalls on the floor above, but we'd definitely stay again.
Richard
We were in a bit of a rush when we arrived, and our hostess responded by booking us in super quick - and ordering a taxi as requested.
We were in one of the Blenheim Rooms on Blenheim Drive - quite spacious.
It was perfect for us.

While there was no elevator, the guy at the reception kindly helped us to carry our heavy luggage to our rooms on the third floor.
Victoria
We had such a lovely stay at the Marlborough House Hotel. The room was clean and staff were very kind. Our room had a large bathtub which was fantastic. The hotel is a bit outside Oxford city center, but it was easy to jump on the bus and get into town. If we return to Oxford in the future we will definitely be staying again!
Maren
Extremely friendly staff, great location with a convenient bus stop to go into downtown Oxford, street parking and parking lot were available. Would definitely stay again!
Nicki
Very clean and comfy bed! Slept well. Nice location. Polite helpful professional service. Would have been useful to have toaster & hob in kitchen and space / sink a bit small. Shame hospitality food and drinks not included in price of accommodation at £129 for one night.
Miss J
Expensive for a single person but otherwise, very comfortable, self-contained bed/kitchen/sitting room so had everything with on suite.

Friendly people and wonderful stay. Not walking distance to university but an uber was just moments away. Would stay again!

Jessica
Exceptionally comfortable and peaceful spot north of the city, with gracious staff and focus on inner peace. Spa bath supplies are a nice touch. The only downside is accessibility- lots of stairs and no elevator.
Jade
We had a fabulous stay here, the room was really spacious, location was great - walking distance to shops and food options and a quick drive into Oxford. Highly recommend!
Jane
Convenient, comfortable and welcoming
Marlborough House gave us a warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Great to have parking in Oxford, well modernised and comfortable hotel, large room with kitchenette. Generous continental breakfast. Good value for money.
Adrian
We liked the small kitchenette, it was very useful having a fridge, sink and microwave.
It was good being on a main bus route to Oxford and Blenheim Palace.

Lovely large rooms, with kitchenette. Good sized bathroom with shower/bath. Location is great, with bus stop just outside. Which is great with Oxford's very regular, clean public transport.
Parking is a little tight, but very welcome.
Overall a lovely place to stay and would definitely stay again.

Corazon V
Great stay in Marlborough House. It is conveniently located near the bus station. The room we had was very comfortable and clean.
Jenny
Bed was comfortable and room pleasantly presented. Table and chairs and kitchenette useful. African book very enlightening. What looked like complimentary snacks and drinks next to kettle were chargeable and it should have been more obvious that it was a mini bar system. Frontage was uninviting and parking cramped and not enough spaces for every guest car.
Rebecca
Location handy to the city centre. Free parking available. Rooms a good size. Pillows and bed linen dated/old and need replacing. Assistance from reception limited - they are not in attendance in the evening. I requested our bathroom towels to be replaced during our stay and they weren't. This property is more of a guest house than a hotel.
Elena
Clean. Very pleasant staff. Convenient location.

Staff and location are wonderful. Parking was great, the ensuite bathroom is extremely clean (new construction?). Lots of road noise from room facing the street, as well as neighboring rooms, but what can you do, its expected. Bed is on the firmer side. all in all an excellent stay.

A great place to stay.
Dominique
Comfortable and spotlessly clean
Gisela
A really calm, peaceful place with the unusual benefit of a microwave and fridge in the good-sized room. Because of its position on a main road, getting into and out of the parking area sometimes requires patience, particularly if someone is coming out of the car-parking just as you're trying to turn into it, but that was a minor issue.
Rachel
Easy to get into Oxford, room comfortable and clean, very helpful and friendly people. Thank you!

We stayed for 2 nights to meet up with family from Australia. The location is very convenient for travelling into Oxford on the local buses. There are also restaurants, cafes and shops within a 15-minute walk. Very convenient for us

Really great hotel to stay. I had the best sleep in a while. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
Matthew
Handily located for Summertown ; just a short walk away. This is a lively location - plenty of options to eat/drink. Oxford city centre is also a short drive away. The room was comfy - the kitchenette was very welcome. The smart tv was an unexpected bonus. Only “gripe” was we were by the front door - unfortunately some guests like to slam doors! The staff were friendly and welcoming.
