    great dining
    convenient location
    lovely garden view
    limited towel space

    We had a lovely stay with family and friends, enjoying the great breakfast options and the garden view from our family room. The location was also convenient, with nearby shops, making it easy to grab snacks for the kids.

    My kids wished for more hanging space for towels.

    spacious room
    friendly service
    cramped access
    outdated decor
    billing miscommunication

    The family room was spacious, stocked with plenty of complimentary tea and biscuits, and the breakfast was excellent value, featuring delicious scrambled eggs. While the staff provided friendly service, the overall upkeep of the facilities fell short, notably the cramped attic access and outdated decor detracting from the premium price. A mix-up at reception led to additional charges for relatives, adding to the disappointing experience.

    spacious room

    the dial house has an excellent location with the number 8 bus stop right outside, making it easy to explore. the staff was super helpful, accommodating all our requests. our family room was quite spacious, and having a complimentary bottle of water for each guest every day was a nice touch.

    would come again

    The family room was spacious and came with a private bathroom and shower. It had a kettle for tea and coffee, along with complimentary bottled water daily. The breakfast had a nice selection with freshly cooked eggs and sausages. Plus, there was convenient parking on-site and bus stops right outside for quick city access.

    central location
    beautiful park

    excellent base for exploring oxford with quick access to parks

    I loved how central my stay was, just a few steps from the beautiful Magdalen College Deer Park where I enjoyed a peaceful stroll, and only a short walk to the fascinating Museum of the History of Science that was perfect for my weekend city exploration.

    friendly staff
    great location
    spacious room
    breakfast issues
    water pressure
    cleanliness concern

    I enjoyed my stay at The Dial House mostly due to its fantastic location. The number 8 bus stop is just outside, which makes getting to the city a breeze. The staff were super friendly and accommodating to my needs. The family room I stayed in had plenty of space, and I appreciated the daily complimentary bottles of water. The breakfast offered a nice variety, but it started a bit late on Sundays, which was inconvenient. I noticed the milk served at breakfast was occasionally off, and I think the shower's water pressure could use some improvement. Despite a few issues with cleanliness in some areas, my room felt cozy and had lovely garden views, making it a pleasant place to relax. a good base for a family trip, but some attention to breakfast quality and room maintenance would enhance the experience.

    clean room

    Good option for solo travelers

    The room was clean and very spacious, with a nice view of the garden. The staff were incredibly welcoming, even offered fresh coffee without me asking.

    It wasn’t cheap but still reasonable for what you get.

    excellent location
    friendly staff
    dilapidated bathroom
    cramped bed
    upfront payment requirement

    The stay was marked by an excellent location with convenient bus stops right outside, allowing easy access to the city center. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was spacious with daily replenished tea and coffee facilities, which added a nice touch. the bathroom was quite dilapidated, and the double bed felt narrowly cramped, affecting sleep quality. it was concerning to have to pay the full amount upfront without seeing the room first.

    clean room
    quiet environment
    nice view
    dated decor
    main road noise

    I stayed in a Double Room for 3 nights and it was decent. The room was clean and I had a nice window view, which was handy for keeping an eye on my car. It was quiet enough, especially since mine was at the back of the house. The temperature was always comfy, but the decor felt a bit dated. it suited my needs just fine.

    Had an amazing time with friends! We visited the Ashmolean Museum and the Botanical Gardens, both were fantastic. The breakfast selection was solid, and the staff was friendly. Plus, the bus stop right outside made getting around super easy. Perfect for a fun group getaway! Would definitely recommend it.
