Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Rewley House enjoys a fantastic central location in Oxford, within easy walking distance of the Ashmolean Museum and Oxford University facilities, as well as Gloucester Green bus station and the Westgate shopping centre. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some offering lovely views. You can also expect adequate in-room amenities and, for those who prefer self-catering options for light meals, there's a shared kitchenette equipped with a fridge and microwave; on the other hand, some guests have found the beds a bit firm. Breakfast is plentiful, and the hotel's location in a tranquil square offers a peaceful setting despite its proximity to the city center.

The light in the bathroom did not work. There was no soap on the wash basin. The wash basin had a blockage. It didn't drain quickly, a tiny nuisance.

the location was very convenient, close to the train station. my room had a large, comfortable bed, that i found great after a long day. breakfast offered both english and continental options, providing variety.

i could hear everything in rooms nearby, people talking and using facilities late at night. soundproofing seems like something to look at.
