The Randolph Hotel, by Graduate Hotels

The location is wonderful. It is a very grand and beautiful hotel, but at the same time it has a relaxing atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff.

We had a room with a view of the Ashmolean museum. The room was perfect and the hotel location was excellent for all the places we planned to visit. The only drawback is that in Oxford roads are cleaned early in the morning. So anyone who wants to sleep in late may be woken up by the noise of the cleaning truck!

The room was beautifully decorated with the most comfortable large double bed that I shared with my 7 year old daughter. We treated ourselves to Room Service for dinner and breakfast which was absolutely delicious - Top marks to the chef at The Alice! The hotel is in a fabulous location and we had a wonderful view from the 4th floor so we saw the Fireworks Display before bedtime - Thank you to The Randolph and the glorious city of Oxford!

The Randolph Hotel, now a Graduate Hotel, owned by Hilton, is the crowning glory of Oxford. It has a lot of names and just as much history. The big dining room is dedicated to Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) a former student of Oxford U. The bar is dedicated to another Lewis, Inspector Lewis, but in reality, they begin with Inspector Morse from the Masterpiece series bearing their names. The entire facility is a treasure of discovies each offering a new experience or its homage to this great University City. This place is a masterpiece for an historic and preserved hotel with great food to compliment the rooms. The center of tourism, multiple restaurants, and even a live theater are only short walks away.

I thought I had breakfast in the price but it turned out not to be the case. For the price, (£315 per room per night), I would have expected the breakfast. When I checked by making a new booking, I was getting rooms with breakfast for the price I paid with no breakfast. Anyway, ordered breakfast to be delivered to the room for 8am. Just as well I checked at 7.45am to make sure menu had been taken during the early hours. It hadn’t been collected. I rang down to reception to explain and they delivered just after 8am, which was good, however, if I had not checked we would be waiting and we were on a tight timeframe for our next destination. Ordered sourdough toast and granola compote. 1 thin slice each. No butter! Couldn’t be bothered ringing down by this time. The good thing was when I explained what had happened, they knocked the whole cost of the breakfast off my bill, which I appreciated. Staff were great. took our luggage to room after we arrived early and helped load the car when we left. Despite minor problems, all good.
