I chose the hotel because it was close to the train station and near the areas I wanted to visit. The room was lovely and very quiet. The staff was very helpful with directions and arranging taxis. Louise helped me resolve a challenge to my reservation. I would definitely stay here again when I am in the area

Surprised this hotel carries the Marriott name
Unlike any Marriott I’ve stayed in before. Fresh, clean and modern but totally impractical bathroom, limited food served in a soulless restaurant and poor quality. Breakfast was also poor. Had to send a dinner and breakfast dish back to the kitchen. Great staff and good location.

Modern business hotel but not value for money
Pleasant little hotel for a business traveller in good location, but room small and lacking in character for price point - would much rather stay at nearby Malmaison for only slightly more, where rooms and chracater far better.

Nice location, close to Westgate mall and many of the Oxford colleges. Hotel is clean and staff are friendly enough. The sink in my room (313) did not drain properly and that was a bit frustrating. Drycleaning was a complete disaster. Not only did they not return my clothes on time, the quality of the clean was rubbish.

Superb!
Changed to this hotel as previous venue was not up to standard on arrival so immediately left. Can’t fault the Courtyard. Team were all so friendly and helpful. They noticed it was my birthday and we found a birthday card and bottle of wine in our room. Very happy with location, really convenient for all central Oxford sights and close to our daughters college too. Definitely will return.

Our reduced menu options are available until 9:30pm however the meal should have been offered on bespoke basis.

Lovely hotel, right next to the castle and an easy walk to both the station and dining and shops. The rooms are very nice, good quality bedding and bathroom amenities. Staff service was mixed, we couldn't find anyone to serve coffee in the restaurant bar area at 4 pm, despite waiting for around ten minutes. The hotel is good value for money and we'll stay again when visiting Oxford.
