Nice stay in Oxford- Rating 5/5
Recently had a very nice stay at the Westgate Hotel. All of the staff were great, but Gabby in particular was such a help to us. She was so friendly and kind, and her sightseeing and dinner recommendations really made for a nice time. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and the location across from the train station is great. The breakfast was really nice, and so was the service. The road construction outside was unfortunate and made us feel bad for the businesses, but it sounds like it is close to being done. The hotel was kind enough to warn us about it in advance, which we appreciated, but most of our stay was unaffected by it. I would be happy to stay here again!

Good. - Rating 4/5
Very good. No complaints, good value. Good breakfast. Enjoyed chatting in Chinese with Chinese lady on your staff (don’t know her name). Road works interesting but no noise at night. Small point: toilet seat room 11 fixings need tightening up.

Courtesy, cleanliness, convenience - Rating 5/5
Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet abundant and fresh. High level of cleanliness. Convenient to bus and train station. Steep, narrow stairs would be challenging for any with mobility issues. Nearby city work project generating noise into the evening hours.

Traditional Hotel at backside Railway Station - Rating 3/5
A somewhat older hotel / restaurant, no elevator.Friendly staff that brought my suitcase upstairs.Rooms simple, very small TV with poor / bad receptions,internet signal week.They toasted gluten-free bread for me, no gluten free serials available (but I had my own).

Great Location close to Railways and Coach Station.- Rating 4/5
This is because of the hotel location and the reseasonable prices , I selected this hotel but annex only. The annex room is small but clean in general. This could be better if the spider webs and the external areas , specificallythe main entrance can be tidied up ! The main building is fine !

Nice people great location- Rating 5/5
This is a gem with a great location close to everything at a reasonable price for what you get. We had a teenager and two adults and room 1 was bigger than expected with an updated bathroom. The noise from construction nearby was not as loud as I expected and the hotel had thoughtfully put some boards in the roomTo cover windows with soundproofing if needed, which is more than many higher end accomodation options would do in a similar situation. The stairs are narrow and do not have rails all the way up so be careful on the stairs. The breakfast included had a good range of options like pastry fruit three cereals toast choice of multiple yogurts and hard boiled eggs. The garden area is absolutely charming and there are books and maps available to travellers. Tv in the room was big. Beds and room were very clean and comfortable. Staff super friendly and very fast with breakfast service. Communication with the hotel pre booking and post booking was very thorough and gave details of roadworks and closures well ahead of time and there is a good discount for booking ahead directly. Don’t stay anywhere else in Oxford!

3 days in Oxford - Rating 4/5
I really enjoyed my stay at the Westgate Hotel. The staff there are currently working under very difficult circumstances, with the work outside which is far beyond their control, yet they were always smiling, helpful and professional in their approach. The rooms are comfortable and the buffet breakfast is good value, with VERY reasonable add-ons if you would like anything cooked. If you are travelling to Oxford by train, the Westgate is a perfect location, and only 10 minutes walk from the City Centre.

Wonderful Stay And Friendly Staff - Rating 5/5
We were traveling as a family with two young children and stayed at Westgate Hotel for one week. We were extremely pleased with our room, checkin, checkout, and the complimentary breakfast included with our stay. Will, Gabby, Phil, Alice, and the rest of the staff at Westgate were very hospitable and even helped us make the most of our time by suggesting potential places to visit with our children. One of our high points of the week was visiting the Story Museum in the Oxford City Centre, and we would have never known about it if it had not been for the friendly staff at Westgate.I would definitely stay at the Westgate with my family again. Our lodging in this historic hotel was pleasant and comfortable, the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast options available were perfect for our family. We felt very well cared for from the moment we arrived to the time when we departed.

Enjoyed my stay, with friendly staff, clean comfortable rooms, excellent buffet breakfast and a quiet room despite the continuing Botley Bridge works. The Hotel, which I have stayed at before, is convenient for the Railway Station and a short walk from the centre of Oxford. And reasonable rates. Plus it is close to the river footpath network.

Fine but not great- Rating 2/5
Brilliant location and friendly staff. Sadly, that’s all I can say was good about this visit.The room was very small and the bathroom needed to be newly decorated and spruced up. None of that would have been a massive problem if the following hadn’t happened: The hotel took payment from me and THEN emailed me the next day to say there was no parking available due to roadworks and we would have to park somewhere else AND pay for it - this is something we should have been told before paying. We chose the hotel due to the car park so this was disappointing. To then have to pay extra was even more disappointing, especially as we were not told before paying for the room itself or being given a chance to reconsider - quite sneaky.The hotel is currently in the centre of major roadworks which start very early in the morning. We were given a polystyrene board to put in our window to drown out the noise - it helped a bit but not a lot.Like I said at the start, great location and nice staff so a real shame overall.
Response
We are sorry for the impression you received.You booked on booking.com and as such we are unsure when booking.com process the payment (we receive the payment after the stay).On our website and the booking.com website (visible before and after booking)we advertise that parking is "available for a fee at a nearby location".We send correspondence throughout the booking process to advise of the roadworks nearby and for advance bookings well in advance of the free cancellation period, Should you request parking at any time we will also correspond with you to explain the parking process. We believe we are far from sneaky.

Great Experience - Rating 5/5
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Westgate Hotel in Oxford, and it was an experience that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped into the hotel, Gabi greeted us with the warmest welcome, making us feel right at home. Her local suggestions were invaluable, adding a special touch to our visit to the city.Despite the unavoidable noise from nearby roadway constructions, Gabi went above and beyond to proactively address our concerns, ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible—a testament to her exceptional customer service. Her thoughtfulness shone through when she learned about our early departure to catch a train; she made sure we were well-prepared with an abundance of breakfast options to take with us.Westgate Hotel, with its attentive staff and superb hospitality, especially from Gabi, has truly won us over. We are already looking forward to our next stay at this charming hotel. Thank you for making our visit to Oxford unforgettable!

A comfortable stay in a very convenient location - Rating 4/5
I received a warm and businesslike welcome at this very conveniently located hotel, literally 5 minutes from the train station. It was an excellent deal and I would stay again. My only suggestion concerns the wifi: there were disruptions and the speed wasn't great. In my case the aim of this and future visits is a working holiday and good wifi is essential. Otherwise, I had a nice stay and intend to visit again.

Good hotel in great location - Rating 5/5
Its an old building and could do with a freshen up with a lick of paint and some new sanitary fittings but this did not impact our stay. The room and bedding was clean, comfortable and warm. Plenty of hot water. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful and the staff are lovely. Great location for getting into town and safe parking at a reasonable cost. Building works outside are not the fault of the hotel and they did all they can to minimise the noise. We slept well and these works did not impact us

Friendly, Cozy, & Safe- It Makes Me So Happy to Walk in the Door! - Rating 5/5
The Westgate Hotel makes my research trips to Oxford such a happy experience! Gabby and Will are the perfect hosts; the rooms are always tidy and warm. There's a substantial continental breakfast every morning with hot tea and toast ready in moments. Chef makes eggs to order perfect every time and remembers your order after the first time.I travel by myself and always feel safe coming and going, as whoever is on the desk will acknowledge my leaving and if I'm home late the doors are secured with a pass-key. There is work going on outside the front door of the hotel, but rather than being a bother the workmen and the traffic helpers all take the time to know my name and let me know when their shift changes so that I can check in with them if I am coming in after dark from the library.There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the Westgate neighbourhood which has a very inclusive hippie-hipster vibe. If I want to go into Oxford-proper, it's only an 8-10 minute walk and everything is well lit. The neighbourhood is rarely rowdy, even on St. Patrick's Day night and during the Six Nations rugby nights which were happening on my most recent stay, but its festive enough that you feel like you don't have to hunting for some mischief if that's what you want to get into!I love it at the Westgate. :)

Well located and lovely hotel- Rating 5/5
We spend one night in the Westgate hotel and were upgraded from a twin bedroom to a triple bedroom with my friend which was nice. The room was very clean and welcoming. There was a little bit of noise from the station during the day but nothing annoying at all.The staff was very warm and helpful, they let us check-in earlier as our room was ready. The lady in charge of the breakfast was so nice…We choose to have a warm breakfast instead of the buffet included in the price. It was unexpensive and delicous!The only drawback would be that the water pressure in the bathroom was really weak, but maybe it is just the water pressure in the area, I don’t know….

Very friendly, great location - Rating 5/5
We stayed for 2 nights at the Westgate as a family of 4 (2 kids, aged 9 & 12) for a family do in Jericho. It doesn't look like much from the outside and we were slightly concerned that it was right next to the roadworks so could have been noisy, but we were really impressed.We were in the Annex which is in the road opposite so it's very quiet despite being so close to the train station. We had 2 rooms (1 twin, 1 double + single) with a shared bathroom, all behind a door, which was great as we were self-contained but had separate rooms for kids and adults. While the decor isn't the height of luxury, it is clean and comfortable and the rooms were quite big so we weren't squeezing around the beds. The real bonus was the staff - they were all incredibly friendly and helpful. We have stayed at many Oxford B+Bs over the years and this was by far the nicest, with the added bonus of a fantastic location while somehow not having to pay central Oxford prices. I am sure we will stay there again in future.

Westgate Hotel is very close to Oxford station and a short walk from its town centre, perfect for our F1 weekend. Its somewhat dated interior is clean and has modern aspects such as ample power sockets, USB charging and of course wifi. The continental breakfast can be supplemented with tasty hot additions, all priced very fairly. The best aspect for me was the very friendly and helpful staff. Currently a little visually affected by local roadworks (although no noise!), these are due to finish soon. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Second time I've stayed here, each time for around a week (doing work at Oxford libraries). The place is simple, near to the bus station, and what you'd expect for an old city hotel. Staying there a week made me feel like I as part of the household. Room is simple and well-kept. Alas, there's an epic road-construction project going on right in front, so there is some ambient noise; but of course that's none of the hotel's fault.

Hotel review - Rating 5/5
The hotel is perfect if you want to go on daily trips + see Oxford. It is near to the train station. Just 2 minutes away. Breakfasts are great, there is toasts, croissants, fruits, joghurts, eggs. Everyone picks what they want. The stuff bring us tea or coffe on the table. And there is a juice and water.The minus side of the hotel is, that you can hear everything. Steps above you, noise on the street or from train station. And there was some construction works while we have been there so that was loud too (but the hotel cannot do anything about that so I am not saying that as a minus, just let you know).The stuff is really great. I felt really sick last day (the day that we checked out) after breakfast. They let us to stay in the room for as long as we needed (3 pm when we had to catch train to the airport). It really helped and I am sure I woud not be feeling good if I didn't lay down that long. Thank you!

We stayed in the family room with three large cheery windows and a private bathroom. The room was very clean and the bathroom recently updated. The beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our complimentary breakfast included fresh fruit, juice, hot drinks, fresh hot toast, hard boiled eggs, cold cereal, yogurt, and packaged pastries. For an even better deal, we enjoyed buying the full breakfast to add fried eggs, sausage, bacon, beans (new for us!), and a half a tomato. The hotel was a very short walk to the bus and train station. We could easily walk to the city center to go on tours of Oxford colleges (We enjoyed Christ Church and the Duke Humfrey Library), the Oxford Castle, and free museums. The only downside was some mild construction noise outside. We found Oxford to be a beautiful, walkable, and interesting city for a family holiday!

Allocated room 12 with a refurbished bathroom which was great. Only feedback is the shower pressure needs looking at. Room itself was fine, a double and single bed. It was clean, bed linen and towels both felt fresh. Lack of hanging space as no wardrobe, just four hooks. This wasn’t really a problem as it was an overnight stay. The breakfast was fine, cereal, pastries, yoghurts, fruit and toast. The added bonus there is parking (first come, first served).The Westgate isn’t the Ritz, but nor is it advertising itself as that. It’s a fantastic location and great value for money. Definitely would recommend, if you need a place to stay in Oxford city centre.

An honest and down to earth review- Rating 4/5
I decided to write this review because some of the existing reviews are really not doing a place justice.I stayed in an annex room, no.6 (second floor of the house - attic) and I think it is exactly what you pay for - a room with shared bathroom (2 rooms share 1 bathroom), cosy enough and clean. Breakfast is simple but enough. Staff friendly. So, it was a good place to stay for a cheap price, location is really good. Would return.

Comfortable, affordable, welcoming small hotel with excellent location - Rating 5/5
I had walked by many times but never thought to stay; when other accomodations fell through, I booked here because of the affordability and was delighted with the experience. The staff and manegement were very welcoming and went out of their way to help me get checked in quickly and easily. The room was nicely sized, well lit, with a comfortable bed, clean sheets, spotless bathroom. The continental breakfast is serviceable, and there is an option for a cooked breakfast for a small fee. The location is great, a few steps from the train station, and a short walk into central Oxford; in the other direction, its quite close to the riverfront where paths offer walks in several directions. Overall, I highly recommend this small but comfortable and very welcoming hotel.

Room 2 was stylish, comfy and warm. Premises was clean. Check in was comfy and all the information needed was given. Only 2 things I would change - make sure there are 2 layers heavier curtains to reduce noise of traffic outside. Additionally showerhead was leaking so the pressure was poor, also a plumber may be required as temperature control was very temperamental.I woke up too late for breakfast, but it did smell good! Very good place to stay for business or travelling through.

Once we actually found the B&B (which is right next to the station seemingly not something that Google Maps seemed to recognise!) we were welcomed in a very friendly way and pointed in the direction of our room at the top of a very steep and narrow staircase. The room and facilities were spotless and comfortable. For an extra £5 we opted for the cooked breakfast which was OK (however in future I would probably just go for the included continental version and maybe get something later in town if still hungry,). We left our bags until just prior to getting our train home and enjoyed a glass of wine in the very pleasant hotel patio and garden. Would definitely rebook.

Lovely hotel - Thinks Fawlty Towers with a bit of panache - Rating 5/5
The outside is not promising, the corridor tight, the reception area a bit dowdy and the rooms are ok; but as the windows need to be open a bit for air circulation, the traffic noise outside can be discomfiting. But hey, we aren't here because we expected the Ritz. The staff is super (Anna, Seth and Andreas are jewels). Breakfast in the garden is wonderful. Convenient to local buses and the train station and a superb, really superb, Chinese restaurant across the street. We would stay here again.

But the shower room was at the far end and on another floor. Once I had found it, it was good, clean and hot and space to change. Just a long way to go.The breakfast was good too, lots of choice and enough to eat, I didn't opt for the cooked breakfast at all as I don't need it.Location was excellent, right by the station.

The hotel is just a 2 minute walk from the train station and the centre of Oxford. It is in desperate need of new carpets and paintwork, and the entrance smells a bit fusty. However, the en suite and the communal shower were pristine clean, and the bed was comfortable and had crisp white sheets. The continental breakfast which is included, was very good with fresh chopped fruit, lots of different cereals, toast, croissants etc. The coffee and tea were good quality and the cooked breakfast was top quality for 5£ extra. The old couple who run the place are charming. Overall, it's a good choice if you need a budget hotel in Oxford.

Ideal budget hotel for sightseeing in Oxford - Rating 4/5
This little family run hotel is well located by the station and with free parking if you come by car as we did. Our room was up 2 flights of stairs so not recommended for disabled. It was small but well-appointed , very clean and a comfortable bed. Downside is the main road so traffic will wake a light sleeper. Also the room was very cold and we could see no way to heat it. Continental breakfast was outstanding with fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, boiled eggs and ample toast.

Excellent little hotel in a great location - Rating 5/5
My husband and I visited Oxford for a one night visit without a car, and the Westgate was prefect for us. Right around the corner from the train station and a quick 10-15 min walk from city center meant we didn't have to waste a lot of time or money in getting around. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were pleasant. I would definitely recommend the Westgate to anyone on a budget doing a quick visit to Oxford.

Westgate Hotel is a very nice pension that is definitely worth it for the money. The breakfast is excellent (toast, eggs, cereal, tea, coffee, baked goods, etc). The rooms are cleaned each day, and there is even tea and coffee refilled in the room every day. If you decide to stay at Westgate, make sure to bring warm pijamas because the rooms do get cold despite the heating. The staff is friendly. The rooms are quite small, but there's nothing in particular that is wrong with them. Westgate is also close to inner Oxford and there are shops and restaurants near it. Overall a pleasant experience and would highly recommend.

Ich kann das Hotel für einen kurzen Aufenthalt empfehlen. Das Zimmer war für 4 Personen und einen Hund sehr klein, aber ordentlich. Da sich das Hotel an einer Hauptstraße befindet ist es Nachts teilweise etwas lauter. Das Bad ist gut ausgestattet und war sauber. Die Besitz sind sehr freundlich. Ein gutes kontinentales Frühstück war im Preis inbegriffen. Es gab Saft, Toast, Diverse Croissants, Honig, Marmelade, Obstsalat, Cerealien, Quark, Joghurt, Milch, Tee, Kaffee und alles so viel man wollte. Die Lage ist perfekt. Man ist fußläufig in maximal 10 Minuten in der Innenstadt und in ein paar Minuten direkt an der Themse und am Bahnhof. Außerdem steht ein Parkplatz zur Verfügung. Das Hotel ist sehr einfach, hat aber alles, was man braucht!

Value for money - Rating 3/5
The hotel was very clean and convenient (few minutes walking from the train station). We spent only the night sleeping, of course, and did not need more than what the hotel offered. The room was not airconditioned, and hence we slept with windows open; on the upper floor, this was no problem at all. The neighborhood is quiet, but the rooms are not strongly isolated, hence noise from the corridor or WC was easily heard. We would choose this hotel for the same purpose (simple overnight while exploring Oxford) again.

Great breakfast. Comfy bed. Very good shower. Friendly staff members. Free car parking. Handy location ie not far to walk to centre / attractions etc. Good value. Very clean (and I am fussy so if I say very clean, you can bet it is). Free wifi. What's not to like! If we had any criticisms it would be that it was noisy due to being so close to the main road - but we expected that, so near to the centre. We still slept well! We had a double room with ensuite and can recommend this hotel - we'd certainly go back.

Everything was clean and set out to help you settle in straight away. The WI-fi was free and the we had a lovely breakfast. The location of the hotel is ideal if you travel by train, as it is a 2 minute walk to the door. On the main street into Oxford Center. We will definitely stay again when next in Oxford.

Good location and friendly staff- Rating 5/5
Westgate Hotel is located in a good location, walkable distance to Oxford city centre. We stayed in a family room with 1 double and 2 single beds - perfect set up for a family . There is parking next to the hotel. The staff is very friendly . We were able to check in early and leave the car at the car park for 2 hours after we checked out. Breakfast was delicious . Choice of English breakfast , crossaints and cereal. The only negative was that there was no shower gel in the bathroom.

Westgate Hotel has become our first choice when visiting Oxford by being both centrally located and dog-friendly. Clean, tidy comfortable rooms and a tasty full english breakfast - all at a reasonable price (for Oxford anyway). The staff are always polite. We have to stay quite a way out of the centre if they are full in order to find another place that accepts dogs.

The hotel itself was comfortable, and staff and owner very helpful. Breakfast was good quality and adequate. Our room on 2nd floor was very noisy as we were adjacent to the main road and directly opposite the the youth hostel, whose patrons seemed very noisy until about 1.00am each night. If I were to go to Oxford again I would use the hotel if I could have a room at the back overlooking the garden which was very nicely laid out. The hotel is by the railway station and literally 10 minutes walk from the centre of Oxford.

Breakfast was fabulous, the waiting staff were very attentive and the food was of excellent quality and really well-prepared. The room was of a good size for a single, not much storage space but it didn't need it, and plenty of opening windows. I would expect some people to say the decor was tired, but it was simply a few years' old, and everything was clean and the linens fresh. For the price, and the fact there is parking, I couldn't recommend this hotel more highly.

My Adult Son me and our toy poodle- Rating 5/5
Our stay was great, a very clean room with great beds and nice linens. My grown up son wanted to see Oxford so after looking up accommodations we found this jewel, it may not be fancy but with the great location, clean room, pet friendly and breakfast it surpassed all our expectations. We’ll be back.

Outstanding service - Rating 4/5
The Westgate Hotel Oxford comes under the "Cheap & Cheerful" category, but it is much more than that. Yes, it was clean, the staff friendly and the bed comfortable. They had taken note of my dietary requirements and served me a substantial bowl of gluten free, soya milk porridge for each breakfast. Now the down points: no towel rail in the shower, nowhere to put it within reach while using the shower. Also the cubicle was so tight that I had to stand with the door open to dry myself! A hook on the back of the door to hang a wet coat would have been an advantage. Finally the TV did not work. That old menace the intermittent fault - picture for five minutes, then a crackling mosaic, then an error message ... I gave up & read a book! But my real praise is for how I was treated on Sunday morning. Because it was snowing I decided to go home on an earlier train. Not only did Steve look up train times for me, and bring down my luggage, he also asked one of his staff to run me to the station in her car to save me calling a taxi. I could not be more grateful. If I have occasion to visit Oxford again I will certainly book in at the Westgate!

I was in single en-suite room for my first night which is above the conservatory with garden view. It was a great stay with clean room and kettle. The room size in just nice for me however bathroom might be too compact for bigger person. Everything is alright including the train noise as I kept the window opened due to warmness in the room. I was in another room which is next to the main road for the next day. The traffic noise affects my sleeping quality as I have to let the window opened for airflow. I am pleased with the friendly staffs in Westgate. Do book your room through their own website so that you could save £5 off the price rack.

Als ich ankam, fiel mir sofort der freundliche Empfang auf, die Hilfsbereitschaft bei allen Fragen und Problemchen (z. B.: Wie bekommt man den Wasserkocher für den Tee in die Steckdose?). Alles wurde schnell geklärt, und so blieb es während meines ganzen Aufenthalts.So konnte man sich z.B. das reichhaltige Frühstück ganz individuell zusammenstellen. Meine Befürchtung , daß Straßen- und Eisenbahnlärm stören könnten, erwies sich als unbegründet, die Fenster halten ihn vorüglich ab.

15 days in Oxford - Rating 4/5
I spent 15 days at the Westgate Hotel and enjoyed every minute. The position is ideal because it is just 5 minutes away from the city center. It was really easy to reach since itis near both the train and the bus station. People working there ate nice and friendly. Romms are clean. There is choice and variety of foid for breakfast. I particularly enjoyed the nice garden and eating outside. I think the shower room without a window is the only thing that could be improved. I will be back.

Spent 2 nights here for a weekend break. We wanted somewhere near enough to walk to the centre & get to Oxford attractions. Perfect location just 10 minutes away from the centre, standard en-suite room & welcoming friendly staff. Breakfast buffet including an English breakfast with cereals, fruit, croissants, toast etc & more offered by the friendly staff if you're not full enough! Ideal for a short break & good value for money. Only downfall is limited parking so get there early.If we're ever back in Oxford we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Westgate.

Stay Abbey Road nr 8 - Rating 3/5
Dear,The reception was friendly. I was a little bit disappointed that my location was not at The Westgate Hotel. Also I had thought that toilet and shower would be in the room and not shared but that I had not read properly in advance.My room was very quietly, but maybe I was lucky because I think I was the only person in the building. I slept very well after a long day. The breakfast to my surprise was excellent including fruitsalad and english breakfast.The location near the railway station and the Paul Rodgers concert at the New theatre nearby were excellent.So I enjoyed my stay and would probably come again.

GOOD STAY - Rating 3/5
Despite is not a luxurious hotel, my stay has been very good in the room that was not inside hotel, but in a house near it. Just a bit scared to be there alone (in the hotel I would be felt more protected but maybe less confortable). It was very quiet and nice, with bathroom inside, TV and clean towels everyday. Breakfast was good especially for cooked food but I eat only sweet things in the morning, so I could eat only fresh fruit, juice and toast with jam. Maybe it could be better to have more choice on sweet food for breakfast such as cakes, croissants and biscuits. The hotel has a good location just 10 minutes walking from the centre, passing near railway, bus and taxi stations. The owners have been very nice, I could also borrow an hair drier and an adaptor, finally also I could leave my baggage in the hotel the last day, after the check out until my bus arrived.

Being a disabled couple with our room on the top floor, and no lift, we found it difficult coping with the stairs when ever leaving or returning to our room. The room was nice and cosy and the bed was very comfortable. We could not fault the food but were disapointed when we were told that we could not have our Dog with us at Breakfast time, considering that this is a pet friendly hotel we found was unacceptable as it meant leaving the animal in a room by himself or my wife and I having breakfast at different times, which is what happened. Apart from this minor mishap I can say we enjoyed our stay at your hotel.To improve may I suggest that, even though I know that you are limited for space, if you try to accomodate for customers with pets an area were they can have breakfast together

Overall satisfactory.Very good cooked breakfasts quickly served.On first night cold water tap not working so had to clean my teeth with hot water.This was rectified for second night when I reported it. However, it suggests that rooms are not carefully checked in advance of new guests arriving against a check list of key points ( of which running water is a must ). I believe this ought to happen. Helpful staff. Hotel could do with a paint facelift. For example, one of the external letters at the entrance to the hotel in WESTGATE HOTEL ( see photo above ) was missing and created a poor, initial impression to first time guests. I have marked 4 below but was seriously thinking about giving 3.

Only criticism the room was really dusty but all it needed was a good Hoover through. Other than that no complaints at all. Would stay again if we're in Oxford for a night.

All round good - Rating 4/5
I have read several bad reviews online but found it to be overall a pretty good stay, my only gripes are a fairly dusty room and a small breakfast, I wouldn't say 1 bacon, 1 sausage, 1 egg and 1 tomato makes what they described as a "full English". But it is a two star and everything you would expect for the price, great location, friendly staff who helped me with everything I needed, would recommend staying in the main hotel but can not speak for the "annex" they sometimes send customers to which is on the opposite side of the road as I didn't have to do that.

good location - Rating 3/5
The location was very good with a short walk from the train station and an easy walk into the town center. The room was small but had an adequate on suite bathroom, free wifi, tv and hot pot. A bit noisy at night since it is along a major roadway so the windows had to be closed. The price was very good for 2 people sharing a room.

A friendly hotel that needs an update - Rating 3/5
This little hotel is conveniently located next to Oxford train station, and will provide a decent stay as long as you keep your expectations reasonable. The staff are friendly and the breakfast delicious, and there is free wi-fi in the bedrooms. However, the premises do need updating - changing the carpets and giving everything a lick of paint would do wonders!

A Quaint Hotel - Rating 3/5
We were happy enough there.The hotel is very dated - it was formerly the Station Hotel and doesn't appear to have changed much since probably the 1960's -unpretentious and quite adequate for a short stay, especially if you are a bit bohemian like us. The bedroom was very cramped but appeared clean and some of the internal decoration is fresh.Breakfast was okay.

Hotel or B&B? - Rating 3/5
I wonder if the Westgate Hotel should really be called the Westgate B&B?Because other rooms were not available, we stayed in a "family room" in the annexe. I was disappointed to have to share a bathroom and toilet with other guests. For £100 a night I'd expect ensuite rooms. On the other hand, if I'd known to expect a B&B rather than a hotel I don't think I'd have minded.The location is nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

This place is clean and best value place in oxford City centre, great ensuite clean shower and toilet. Tv, internet n tea n coffee facilities make it feel like home everything u need and they even include a free breakfast which is lovely food, not posh but feels like home, the staff are friendly polite and quick to assist you. I love the feel of the annex rooms they are like renting a room in a house like having your own private small house with own entrance so it doesn't feel like a hotel, or if you prefer that stay in the main hotel section instead. The choice is yours so suitable for anyone depending what you prefer they can accommodate either preference. Or choose a room with shared toliet for even cheaper price so can also suit all budgets low to mid. Not a posh 5star but if you want value for money clean friendly place in centre this wins hands down! Im a regular.

Hen do weekend - Rating 3/5
A group of seven of us stayed at Westgate Hotel for one night for my friend's hen do in Oxford city centre. We had one family sized room and 3 ensuite rooms.The staff were friendly, the room was clean with towels and the breakfast was good and catered for food intolerances (gluten-free and dairy-free on request).The weather was perfect during our stay and we were able to enjoy breakfast in the quiet and pretty garden which was a bonus.Despite the building looking very dated and tired, the bedroom was nice and had everything you needed. The bed was comfy.The hotel was in an ideal location (in the city centre and opposite the train station) and there was free car parking available on site which was great.My only criticisms were the lack of shower in the ensuite bathroom. There was just a bath which we decided not to use.There were dirty towels and bed linen on the floor in our room when we arrived.Also, the hotel could do with a spruce up. The inside is very dark and the stairs are very narrow for people carrying heavy cases up.Apart from that, it suited our needs and I would recommend the hotel for other people wanting a short stay.Thank you.

This place is clean, safe, centrally located near buses and trains, service is courteous, place for good sleep, and great value.Check-in was prompt just provided my name and I was in the system, Annie the owner/manager gave me the key, explained the entry lock, and complimentary English breakfast hours. In 5 minutes I'm resting in my room from the long ride from Heathrow airport. I booked a single ensuite (meaning with toilet and shower); it was fresh, sparkling clean, and cozy. I brew up my cup of tea and watched BBC news, with the fresh breeze coming through the open window. Quiet and relaxing.The next morning, I had my English breakfast tended by Andrew the co-owner/manager, and cooked by Isabel. It was heavy but delicious: thick bacon, fried egg, sausage, fried tomato, toast, juices, coffee, croissant, and fruit cocktail. The breakfast room was warm, peaceful and conducive to an unhurried breakfast.Annie let me print out my boarding passes and lend me an alarm clock so I won't miss my flight home.I have a lovely four-day stay even in the gentle rain of Oxford.A sparrow and a dove sang every morning outside the window. A bonus.

weekend stay - Rating 3/5
The location was ideal for us as we wanted to be near the station.The room was available at short notice after our original booking had been cancelled, and is reasonable price.It was comfortable, but we must have not read the website carefully, becasue we expected ensuite, but they aren't in the "annex" which is actually a separate house about two minutes walk round the corner.

Westgate Hotel - Rating 3/5
Great location but rather overpriced. Furniture could use a makeover but breakfast was very nice and nice staff.

Nice hotel for reasonable price - Rating 5/5
The Westgate Hotel seems to be a good option for someone who needs good access to the railway station, to the center of Oxford, and for such recreational areas like Thames Path or Grandpont Nature Park.This time I lived in an single ensuite room in the annex, which gave me wonderful privacy but a little longer distance for a breakfast.The room was clean, neat and comfortable.

Lovely hotel with wonderful hosts, great breakfast, and very convenient to everything.Wifi doesn't reach the rooms in the main hotel, but does in the annex.

Lovely - Rating 4/5
A basic but warm and comfortable hotel. Wonderfuly comfortable beds (I really should find out what mattress' they use) and plenty of fluffy pillows. Great town centre location and really easy to find as its less than a five minute walk from the train station. A really important thing for me was that they allowed my dog to stay with me. Our en suit bathroom was small and didnt have a shower but there was plenty of hot water for baths so it wasnt a problem and there was a shower room a couple of doors away if we wanted to use it.If you are looking for a basic, comfortable, affordable place to stay in Oxford, then this is the place. We would definatly stay here again.

Fully recommended! - Rating 5/5
I booked the hotel online after looking at the room pictures they have on their website and on my arrival was pleasantly surprised that not only did it live up to my expectation, it was actually nicer. Linens were clean, the room was bright and airy, and it was spacious. The hotel was only about 5 mins walk from the station and the lady in the reception was very friendly. There was also complimentary tea and coffee in the room. The only drawback is that the bath doesn't have shower so it was a bit difficult to have a quick wash, but it wasn't somethingthat I'd complain about. They have a shared shower room if you really need it.Breakfast was also very good, the man who served us was attentive and nice. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay there and I will definitely come back and recommend the hotel to any of my friends who want to visit Oxford!

Good value - Rating 4/5
Overall experience was definitely positive, very friendly and helpful owners in a good location for easy access to city centre and for the train station and Oxford tube. We were in the annex which had comfy beds,and was clean. Unfortunately the showers weren't working properly when when we arrived( and we had cycled from London) but they were sorted out and we were compensated appropriately.All the decor a bit dated but this didn't bother us in the slightest. We did enjoy the breakfast.We would stay here again as we feel it's good value for money with comfy beds in a convenient location. (3.5 out of 5) .

Two nights at the Westgate Hotel - Rating 4/5
I had a good stay at the Westgate Hotel. It's actually more like a B&B. The couple who owns it are really nice and work very hard to serve you a wonderful breakfast in the mornings. The room was fine. Shower takes a long time to heat up, but is good afterwards. There is quite some noise from the busy road outside, but some earplugs fixed that. Very conveniently located right next to the train station. Their free wifi is fast, but only worked in the living room downstairs.
