    We stayed on the 3rd floor (no lift), and the stairs were narrow and a little wonky, so getting luggage up and back down was tricky.

    The room was large and comfortable. The shower was excellent with instant hot water and plenty of water pressure. There was plenty of room to store things conveniently. Breakfast was very high class in the steakhouse, with steak, bacon, muffins, and poached eggs, as well as cereal, yogurt, juice, and tea or coffee. It was easy to find walking from the train station.

    Totally out of the hotel's control: the construction work in the near vicinity. Slightly annoying, but we will remember our stay because of the many, many positive things.

    What's not to like here... Excellent location near the station (hopefully the construction will be done at some point in the future). But the real BANG is Porterhouse itself. Small scale hotel. Comfortable/luxurious rooms in a charming old building. Excellent beds (with duvet!!!!). Super luxy bathroom. Awesome shower. And then there is the restaurant. The breakfast is so good that you don't anything until supper. Go for the Porterhouse Grill. And then supper... Boy. That meat... We first had the sirloin which was super good, but even that paled in comparison with the chateau briand. The staff was friendly, helpful and showed a good sense of humour too! Maxium number of stars. And then some!

    The Porterhouse is also a steak restaurant and I a beautiful tender fillet steak cooked to perfection by the chef - just the way I like it. Wonderful restaurant and cosy bar. My room was spacious and the bed super comfy. Much better to stay at an independent hotel with the personal touch. I look forward to returning.

    No parking, but that's probably standard for somewhere near the centre of Oxford.

    Lovely big room with an extremely comfortable bed, very clean, and stylish decoration. The restaurant downstairs looks amazing, though we only had a cocktail there. The breakfast (included) was fabulous and included a beautifully cooked steak. Lovely staff. Decent location a short walk from the centre of town.

    We had a fan for the room as the rooms do get very warm in the summer months. Keeping the curtains closed and opening the windows helps to some extent.

    A beautiful small hotel with comfortable spacious rooms and facilities. The staff were super helpful and polite. The breakfast was wonderful and dinner on 2 nights exceeded all expectations.
