I already stayed a couple of times in this Hotel. The rooms are modern and the bed is very comfortable. The reception staff is also always very helpful whenever anything is missing. The room was always clean and tided up well! …

Pretty good. The lack of coffee maker in the room or lobby was the biggest downside by far. They have kettles in the rooms with instant coffee which is not the same thing.The location is really great, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown so it’s quiet but only a few minutes walk from the major sites. The rooftop patio is excellent also.I would stay here again but bring my own coffee making supplies.Also the hotel bar and restaurant didn’t have anyone staffing it when I went down at around 8 pm which seemed odd.

The Courtyard is a great hotel, anytime of year. I've stayed there a number of times and have found the property to be convenient to everything in Oxford (including a Sainsbury's grocery and restaurants) and yet in a peaceful and quiet …

We had an excellent one-night stay here for work. The hotel is very clean and incredibly-well located. Staff is friendly and professional. Rooms are on the smaller side, but very comfortable. Breakfast is great too and custom-made egg dishes are offered. My biggest gripe was the mushroom risotto we ordered for lunch – it sadly just wasn’t fresh and tasted like microwaved airplane food. Still, there are plenty of incredible food options within a 10 minute walk. Would come back!

If I could give 100 stars I would!! I had a last-minute emergency that required a room for myself and my three children and I needed it quick! I called the Marriot and spoke to Kristina in reservations and she was genuinely the sweetest, most caring person ever! She was so concerned with making sure my family was taken care of. She was really patient with me as I had two phone conversation conversations going at once while trying to sort out the emergency and she waited on hold multiple times with no attitude or making me feel like I was bothering her.We ended up needing two rooms (the rooms only had one bed and no sofa bed )and they worked with us to stay within our budget. When I arrived at the hotel Sonio greeted me with a smile and was so empathetic and kind. I was crying because of the emergency I mentioned earlier and he immediately offered me tissues and water. Later, he came up to my room with cookies and drinks for my kids. It was such a thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to me. Kristina also made a point to come out into the lobby to meet me and my family, and I really appreciated her going above and beyond. Throughout the rest of my stay, everybody was so thoughtful and kind. The hotel does not offer free breakfast, but again, they worked with me to make sure my kids would be fed and it would be in my budget. A few days into my stay I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Louise who was such a sweetheart and so kind and lovely to chat with. The hotel itself was nice, clean, shower was wonderful, and in a perfect part of Oxford, so close to everything. But the true gem of this hotel, are the people. They all seem to really care about you and everyone seem to really love their job. There were no sour faces, only smiles everywhere we went. I hope whoever up the chain in corporate Marriott world recognizes the true gem that these employees are for their company. 10 out of 10, if you’re trying to figure out where to stay, definitely come here!
