Oxford Accommodation

Welcome to the Oxford Accommodation section. We believe that location is the most important thing here so we've separated hotels into four simple districts. We've also added options to choose national chains or small independent hotels which can often provide a unique stay in the city. We also include an average price guide plus an average hotel rating through our hotel booking partners. Further down on the page you can find budget accommodation - such as hostels and caravan sites - and other accommodation such as serviced apartments.

Hotels in Oxford

Oxford has a good number of hotels in the central area and the north of the city. In the city centre you'll find the well known brands which are popular with tourists. Further out of the centre you'll find quieter guest houses and hotels aimed at business travellers.

Hotels: City Centre

Staying in the city centre puts you close to all the main attractions. Hotels though are relatively few in number and can be expensive.

Hotels: Inner City

In this area of Oxford can be found the majority of Oxford's guest houses, especially along Banbury Road in the north and Abingdon Road in the south. Limited on street parking is available and is normally free.

Hotels: Suburbs

Staying on the outskirts of Oxford can prove cheaper and easier if you are visiting by car. These hotels are great if you plan to spend most of your time visiting nearby towns and attractions. Public transport can be difficult though.
