We had a lovely stay. The staff were incredible helpful with food abd transport recommendations. The decor is fun and the room was clean and comfortable. The weather wasn't great so we didnt use it, but the outside space looked lovely. Parking is a bonus, we parked and got the bus in to town, far cheaper and easier than parking in town! Will definitely return.

When yiu book thorough hotels.com it advertisies as a superior double with king bed, thats not what you get, yiu get a double bed unless you specifically ask for a king despite the description on here. There is only one king in the hotel. You have to pay for parking, no disabled parking discount offered until i asked as its an additional £10per day per car. Lots of cobwebs, only one towel for 2 people in the room until i asked. Helpful they let you check in early is you can. Breakfast only ok, but good if yiu cant be bothered finding anywhere else. Bus stop right outside whichnis handy to get into the city

4.0 / 10.0

This is a gorgeous hotel with plenty of character and a decent location in the North of Oxford, near shops and eateries. As it is a quirky old building, you do hear the footsteps shuffling of your upstairs neighbours, but I would return if ever in town again.

5.0 / 10.0

We stayed at the Galaxie Hotel in Oxford as a family and had a very good experience. When a crib for our baby wasn’t available, the staff immediately upgraded us to a larger room to make our stay more comfortable. This thoughtful gesture really made a difference for us. The room was clean, the service attentive, and the location convenient. We truly appreciated the extra effort from the hotel team.

5.0 / 10.0

Quintessential old English hotel. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Entrance, reception, lounge, breakfast area and bar are definitely 5*.

4.0 / 10.0

Beautiful hotel but three problems: first one was that I could hear everything in the hallway and I could only assume anyone can hear anything I do as well. Second was that someone kept slamming their door so hard that my TV shook. Multiple times in the day. I have no idea what their problem was but I wanted to yell at them. Lastly, breakfast ended at 9am which is quite early. Checkout is at 10:30am. So although it was a great hotel, if people are slamming doors and you will miss breakfast if you had any evening plans, it kind of outweighs the nice bits.

5.0 / 10.0

Service focused boutique hotel. Andrew on reception was exceptional, couldn't help us enough. Hotel is lovely, fantastic decoration and design, so much to look at it was really fun and quirky. So quirky that for breakfast a toy train runs around the breakfast room. The room was lovely (105) however the double glazing was rubbish and we heard all of the cars going past which woke us early. You can park up, pay and leave your car there and get buses into town centre. No bar but plenty of restaurants and bars in summer town.

5.0 / 10.0

I only spent one night. They let me check in early, which was great since I came straight from the US so needed some rest. Room was clean and cozy. It’s well located near shops, restaurants and frequent buses to city center. I would stay again.

4.0 / 10.0

Really poor customer service.

6.0 / 10.0

The Galaxie was fine/suitable for a one night stay. The standard room we had was quite small and you could quite clearly hear those on the other side of the wall/in the hallway/in the carpark. The service from the receptionist was also rather lacklustre. But hey, there was paid parking and it was in an alright location (30 minute walk into Oxford but close to parks and the Summertown cafes). Not amazing but adequate.

6.0 / 10.0

Decent hotel, good connection to the city center, very friendly staff but overall nothing special.

4.0 / 10.0

The bed was very comfortable. Room is rather small, my window was right next to a boiler extractor, so didn’t fancy opening my window during my stay. The decor is trying to be up market I think, but it wasn’t done the best in my opinion. However all I really needed was a decent shower, which was very powerful! Slightly temperamental with the temperature however, and I wanted a comfy bed, which I got. What more do you really want for a business trip. Parking is an extra £10 per night though on top…..

Fantastic boutique hotel with a quirky "Fawlty Towers" vibe.

5.0 / 10.0

Another wonderful stay at The Galaxie. Lovely hotel with quirky decor and well appointed rooms. Might struggle if you are a light sleeper as the blinds do let in some light and the road can be noisy. I keep returning as the ambience and service more than make up for it. The staff are really attentive and helpful and they really strive to make your stay truly wonderful.

A very unique and boutique hotel with quirky features. Loved the candy station (a little too much) but not the parking fee. Comfortably bed and acroom without a rail or wardrobe.

10.0 / 10.0

Booked for the aesthetic and wasn’t disappointed! The breakfast was delicious and dining area beautiful. My room was just what I needed, though the teacup/saucers were dusty and the electric kettle full of crusty flakes so I unfortunately couldn’t use the in-room tea station. And one of the travel shampoos had already been opened/used in my room. Other than those hiccups, wonderful experience here, would definitely come back.

A great hotel well positioned for shopping and transport. Nice room and breakfast.

4.0 / 10.0

On the whole it was good only for one night. I think charging for parking is milking it a bit. The coffee machine didn’t appear to work in the room. But used instant coffee tubes instead. Would have preferred the “real coffee “ We went out for breakfast as that was also chargeable at the hotel. So little things really & not life threatening! Just a bit disappointing.

Great hotel, room was much bigger than we were expecting and nice view of the garden. Service was always friendly, and great value breakfast. Easy to get into town with regular buses right outside. Summertown itself is really nice too, lots of little shops and cafes. We didn't get parking at the hotel as it was full, but there's a car park 2 minutes away

2.0 / 10.0

The hotel is quirky but services are extremely limited, no food, breakfast started too late and there seems to be hardly any staff as no one could manage to print or email me an invoice, even though I asked every day of my 4 day stay and called twice after … very poor service for just basic …

5.0 / 10.0

This is a little gem of a hotel in Summertown, Oxford. Exquisite, and very comfortable for any visitor - Convenient bus routes to town centre outside, also M&S a hundred yards away.

10.0 / 10.0

First, the staff are wonderful - friendly and very accommodating. The location is quite convenient for any local shopping or visiting. Summertown is an easy half hour walk from Oxford City Center - or take the bus, of which there are many running throughout the day and evenings. Also, for the four of us, a cab back from city center costs just a bit more than the bus (9 vs 8) We had a twin room on the 3rd floor that was in back - very quiet - and fairly roomy. We would happily book again should we be back.

4.0 / 10.0

Very cold room. Heating was then sorted out but not the usual service or standard this trip

10.0 / 10.0

This is a very nice and unique hotel, true to the pictures. Although the room was small, like most hotels in Europe, it provided the right amount of space and didn't bother me at all. The room was decorated with taste and detail. The hotel is not in downtown, so you either walk for around 30 minutes, which I did most of the time, or you have to take the bus, which is conveniently close to the hotel. The only time I took the bus was when I arrived and left, as I had a carry-on; otherwise, it’s a nice walk to the city center.

10.0 / 10.0

Everything was perfect, highly recommended, thanks. The room was new, spacious, great bathroom, comfortable bed. Location super convenient for coming off the ring road and easy to get in to to town - masses of buses, we walked (25 mins). Best of all were the staff: all were beyond excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We even left something in the room and had to go back to get it... it was waiting at reception when we returned. Congratulations to all for an outstanding job.

This hotel is located in the quiet neighborhoods. It takes few minutes to walk to grocery stores. The room was also clean and quiet. I also liked the breakfast options that they provided. The taste was great.
