Best Western Plus Oxford Linton Lodge Hotel

My wife and I were visiting Oxford for a concert and had taken the day off to spend in Oxford. Upon arriving, we did not get the usual pleasantries such as "how was you journey?" or even a "Hello" but "You room will not be ready". We were a little taken aback at such a welcome especially when it was followed with "you'll have to pay for 2hrs parking as it is before 13.00" At no point was this highlighted in the booking and does the hotel really want to tick-off the customer IMMEDIATELY with such a greeting for the sake of £2? Not a good start! The room and the hotel seemed to have been refurbished and at first glance the room appeared in a good state. However, the curtain was hanging of the rail. The toilet roll holder was hanging off as was the showed hear rail. Disappointing considering the price of the stay. Upon returning from the concert we wanted to get some water. It took the barman 45mins and there was only 1 customer at the bar! Breakfast did not fair much better. Having selected our cooked buffet, EVERYTHING was stone cold. I was asked if i wanted it microwaved........! The assistant realised the problem and removed everything from the display. She was however kind enough to bring me a replacement directly to my table. All in all what should have been a nice weekend was tainted by the stay here - such a shame. At least the bus stop is nearby to travel into the city centre. If required i can teach the maintenance staff how to affix fittings to hollow/plasterboard walls FoC as my teachable moment. My wife can teach the kitchen staff how to keep things warm (she's a chef). Not sure what to do about the barman though.....? less

This hotel is not Covid friendly. I booked 2 rooms for a get away with friends. They got Covid and 10 days ahead I tried to move to booking. Couldn’t so found another couple to come with us. Now Covid strikes again. And again the will not move the booking or refund. When asked if they are advocating I come the reply is “it’s up to you”. I will NEVER use Best Western again. less

My husband and I had a great stay here. We'd never been to Oxford before and the hotel is ideally placed for exploring the city and surrounding area. It's a lovely walk into Oxford, about 20-30 mins or the bus stop is at the top of the road and the service is very regular and takes about 5 mins. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and polite. We had a lovely room over looking the garden and the bed was comfy. The room was probably small compared to other hotel rooms we have stayed in but it was clean and comfortable and we literally only slept there as we were out all day. The breakfast was great, lots of variety in cereals and pastries etc and a good cooked buffett breakfast. Will definitely stay again if in the area and will recommend to family and friends less

Pleasant hotel in a quiet part of Oxford close to local shops and amenities and easy walking distance of Oxford city centre. Pleasant garden which we used once and lounge area of bar which we also used once. Room size was ok for 2 adults and a child sofa bed was comfy but pillows way too soft. Parking was a bonus and staff were friendly and helpful. We did not use the breakfast facilities so cannot comment on them. A little fridge would have been perfect. less

As above, just outside town centre in north oxford and 20 minute walk into town, so just right God rooms and friendly staff. Only issue...the hotel has two first floors in different sections so lugged luggage up to the wrong one. On arrival. staff could have been more helpful in directly us accurately to the correct section and set of stairs etc. so not a good start to the visit but all else very good and good value compared with some other Oxford hotels less
