My kids and I stayed here for one night as a bit of research now that we’ve moved into the area, so we can see which hotels to suggest to friends. The building is very impressive but it’s a bit too old school for me, and could do to modernise a bit. The bar area is very small and situated near the front door. The food in the restaurant was delicious but the service was a little slow. We switched rooms because the heating wasn’t working properly, but this was all done very quickly and efficiently and we actually ended up in a nicer room. Compared to other 5 star hotels in the area, amenities in the bedrooms were a bit disappointing. So, whilst we enjoyed our stay, I wouldn’t recommend the hotel to friends staying in the area. Sorry!

Initial impression of the Randolph Oxford was good, albeit the double room was very small even for single occupancy. My experience in the bar was good with the staff making me feel comfortable and welcome. However on the day of departure things went from bad to terrible. I arrived for breakfast at around 9:45, when asking for white coffee they brought black, no milk/cream, no sweetener. I had to ask again for these. The door to the buffet was closed and locked at 10:00am sharp, I would have thought in a 5* hotel guests would have some additional time to complete breakfast, it appears that if you arrive 1 minute before breakfast closes, you have exactly 1 minute to complete your breakfast. I believe that someone had access to my room while I was out the previous evening or during breakfast as personal property had disappeared from the room. The staff on duty & management could provide no CCTV of the corridors or confirm when my room was accessed. In short they provided no support or explanation as to what had happened. They promised a follow up call but none has been received. I find it extraordinary that the hotel could not provide details on who/when my room was accessed. I am just glad that I left to valuable items, only personal items, in my room while I was out.

Lovely hotel, but…
Everything was excellent apart from a couple of annoying things. Breakfast was buffet style, food was tasty but not piping hot, coffee was the same! Didn’t spoil our trip just a little frustrating! Parking expensive £48 per day at hotel.

Historic hotel in Oxford
Second time we stay at the Randolph. Mahesh in the front desk was wonderful. Very professional and helpful. The first night there was an issue with the water temperatura and pressure but the engineering department worked very fast to fix it. My thanks to engineering, it is a team you rarely see, but it is a very important department, especially in an older hotel such as the Randolph.

Very central, classic hotel. High quality and comfortable. Service could have been better. Luke warm breakfast food and substandard serving of breakfast drinks at the table. Waited so long for help with luggage I carried it up and down flights of stairs myself . Room TV broken and couldn’t be fixed or replaced Other than that , a very nice stay, but could be better value for money
