Good value in Oxford
An excellent overnight stop with quirky splendid common areas.
Lovely quirky place . Excellent breakfast and lots of choice . Rooms are nicely decorated with comfy beds ( superior rooms) we were at the front . My only issues are the entrance to the rear car park is very tight ! The room was noisy as at the front and very hot hence we had the window open as the roof window and bathroom velux wouldn’t open . Apart from that it was fabulous place to stay whilst we went to the game fair , Justin was so helpful with walkable restaurants all 3 recommend we’re super .
Undergoing refurb which is not declared prior to booking. Therefore like staying on a building site.
Rooms very basic indeed, nothing like the boutique Hotel experience that the listing and pictures would suggest.
Avoid.
Anna the site manager was great. She was able to provide me with a better room option when I was disappointed with my original room. She even comped my breakfast due to the inconvenience. Will definitely consider the Galaxie again when next in Oxford.
Room was nice and fair price but walls were thin. Could hear the person in the next room coughing all night

The staff was amazing. The breakfast delicious. The outside of the hotel was a little lacking in curb appeal. Seemed to be under construction. Overall a great experience.
Eclectic interior and spacious rooms. Lovely little touches like the candy cupboard! Staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Would stay here again!
Hotel is in a good location making it easy to get to the city centre from the bus stop close to the entrance. A small but comfortable room, nothing more was needed for my short stay though. High spec bathroom with a good powerful monsoon shower. The only negative is a lack of blackout curtains to the window, just a roller blind which alllowed a lot of light in
