The hotel environment is very good. Although it is about 15 minutes' drive from the center of Oxford, it is also very convenient for tourists who drive by car.
A large lawn is next to the Tom River. It is great for running or walking in the morning.
The facilities are also new. For a British country hotel, I think it is already very good. Each room on the first floor also has a small outdoor table.
The hotel's own restaurant tastes good. The staple food is 25 pounds per portion, which is a lot, but it is a bit salty.
The only shortcoming is that I booked a king-size bed room, but the front desk gave me an ordinary standard king-size bed room. Fortunately, I can add an extra bed (15 pounds), otherwise I must have to deal with them.
Ctrip is not kind either. It charged the premium room fee for a king-size bed (nearly 1,000 more expensive) but did not do the job. The English confirmation letter says: kingbed, and the corresponding bed should be super kingsize. The hotel thinks it is kingsize, which is 1.5m in the UK, and super kingsize is 1.8m.
Very Good

The Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford is a stylish hotel located on the outskirts of Oxford, offering a blend of comfort and convenience. Lucky to have some light decorations to the rooms due to availability. The room is spacious which come equipped with comfortable bed, air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities. Slight pointer is that there is no heat warmer or heater in the room.
The hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar, where visitors can enjoy a variety of meals, including a well-regarded breakfast. For relaxation, the property offers excellent leisure facilities, such as an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, and steam room but you need to make prior appointment before usage. These amenities are especially appreciated by those looking to unwind after exploring the historic city of Oxford.
Situated near major road networks, the hotel is ideal for travelers arriving by car, with on-site parking available. However, some guests note that parking might come with an additional charge but come at fixed $6 per day. Should you require breakfast is best to purchase it on the day you checked it as it will cost $15 instead of $18.
Overall, the Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford is a dependable and comfortable choice, offering a modern retreat just a short distance from the vibrant cultural and academic attractions of Oxford.

This is my second time staying at the hotel. This time the hotel upgraded the front desk and the room for me. I still like the atmosphere here, the excellent location, the quiet environment, the elegant service, some facilities need to be upgraded, especially the air conditioner and bedding, but overall it is still worth staying. The hotel provides mineral water and cola drinks. Slippers can be asked for at the front desk.

The location of the hotel was very unexpected. I originally thought that I was looking for a hotel in the suburbs, and the surrounding area should be very empty and deserted. Before booking, I saw many reviews saying that the hotel parking lot was large and parking was very convenient. When I arrived at the hotel, I thought the navigation was wrong and confirmed again and again whether it was this hotel. The hotel is actually located in a residential area, surrounded by very dense residential buildings. The road is very small, with one lane in each direction. We arrived in the evening. Cars were parked on both sides of the road, each occupying half of the lane, leaving only a car-wide space in the middle of the road, and two-way traffic. There is no gate in the hotel area, and the parking lot and roadside parking spaces are integrated. On that day, an Indian family happened to hold a wedding at the hotel. The parking spaces and unmarked parking spaces at the entrance of the hotel were full of cars. We drove to the innermost and couldn't find a place to park. The hotel front desk asked us to find a parking space on the road by ourselves, and finally parked in a relatively far place. There is no business or catering around the hotel. The bus stop is a 6-minute walk from the hotel. Buses 3, 3A, and X40 can all go to Oxford Town Center (Hight Street), which is quite convenient.

We stayed just one night to meet family members for dinner in Oxford.
It is very well located for the city cetre. Despite that, it is in a quiet location and we had a good night's rest in a small but comfortable room.
It lacks the range of facilites that you may want for a long stay. For example, it has no lounge, restaurant or lifts, which is the only reason I could not give 5 /5 for facilites. What facitlities is does have are good: in room tea and coffee making, television, radio and WiFi. Staff are friendly and helpful.
We came by car and used the Park and Ride system, which is excellent. Oxford bus services are good. The hotel is also only a short taxi ride from the station if you go by train.
The hotel was ideal for a short stay and we will use it again.

GGuest UserThis is a hotel converted from an old castle prison. It is very innovative. There are two types of rooms. One is a room converted from two cells, and the other is a normal room. The window of the room converted from the cell is a small upper window like in the prison. The normal room I booked has a balcony. It depends on everyone's preference. The room has a coffee machine and a towel heating rod. The shower room is small and the button area is large, but it takes some skills to press it. The first time I pressed it for a long time, it didn't trigger. The air conditioning in my room was slightly insufficient, but the hotel service staff actively solved the problem. The overall service was very warm and thoughtful, sharing town maps and so on, so despite the slight inconvenience, I still like the style and service of this hotel. The breakfast is also good, and the black pudding is awesome. In addition, some rooms have stairs in addition to the elevator. If you have large luggage, you can try to contact the hotel to use the small elevator, as shown in the last picture
AAnonymous UserI stayed in an executive room, which was quite spacious. The room was very simple and comfortable. I needed to add a small table in the room for work, and the waiter was very quick to help me solve it. The breakfast was OK, the bread was good, but the breakfast did not change after staying for six or seven days. There was no air conditioning, but a small electric fan was provided. The temperature was quite high during the few days I stayed there, and the window in the room could be opened very small. So the room was stuffy, and even if the temperature outside dropped, the ventilation was not good, and the temperature in the room was still high. This was a bit unbearable.
GGuest UserThis is a rooftop room @Although the room is small, it has everything and is clean and tidy... However, you need to carry your big suitcase up two narrow stairs... Breakfast is served in different time periodsಠ_ಠBecause the 22 rooms in the three-story building can accommodate fewer people at the same time. It takes 15 minutes to get to the center of Oxford by bus. Be sure to leave enough time, as the bus runs very slowly🥴
WwangxuchnI traveled for 6 people and had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. It was okay. The parking spaces in the hotel were tight and I had better luck. It is also convenient to park the car at the hotel and walk to various attractions. I like it overall
GGuest UserSet a 3-person room, the room size is reasonable. Walk about 20 minutes from the city center, but there are many small shops and restaurants around.
The facilities inside are relatively simple, and the bath water is electric, not very sufficient. We saw dirty sheets, although small, but it affected the mood.
WWEIQINGThe hotel is a little bit away from downtown Oxford. If you are driving, you can choose here. Free parking, breakfast is good, clean and hygienic, good service attitude
XXuanxu PanFacilities: The hotel is a residential building, the room is very small, and the aisle is narrow; there is no air conditioning, even if it is more than 10 degrees, the room can obviously feel hot (stay cautious in summer! ! !); there is still a walk distance of nearly half an hour from Oxford
The advantage is that it has its own parking lot, but the entrance is a bit narrow and needs attention
Hygiene: OK
Environment: General
Service: Very warm, the staff is very good
In short, the service is nothing wrong; the room is too small and too hot, the facilities are old
GGuest UserThe talkhouse was a really homely accommodation right outside of Oxford. The room was exactly like the pictures. The staff were incredibly helpful and I must say the showers is probably one of the best I’ve had in the uk. (Proper water pressure,temperature and drainage so I’m not swimming in my own filth). Also have a drink or dinner at the pub, it’s seems to be a popular favourite amongst the locals as well. One thing to note for light sleepers, the rooms are side by side so you might hear your neighbours & it is right by the road so you’ll be able to hear vehicles at busier times.
GGuest UserThe location is first class and the service is very good, but the old house does not have an elevator.
Relying on the core commercial street, extremely convenient at the same time, it is a bit noisy at night.
No air conditioning, no problem with the current temperature. The ventilation in the bathroom needs to be improved.
