Comfortable & contemporary
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

lovely little hotel with an English aire
This was our third stay at Galaxie. This time, our room was smaller than the others but still nice. It's a lovely little hotel with parking in the back, a nice conservatory and a distinctly English flair. Think dark paints, vintage furniture, lots of paintings and bric-a-brac scattered throughout. Helpful friendly staff and a great Summer Town location - 20 min walk to downtown and 5 min taxi/bus ride.

The check-in was very slow and the concierge didn't even have a calculator to calculate the bill - did the calculation on paper!!!. The room was unpleasantly hot and the noise from passing traffic could be heard all night, disrupting sleep.

Great experience from beginning to end, parking was easy and not badly priced for Oxford. Reception staff were enquiring, gracious and very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Bed was comfy, room was adequate in size, bathroom a little cramped but served it's purpose and the shower was great. Breakfast was well worth upgrading to, excellent service and freshly cooked hot breakfast items and specific things (someone ordered an omelette) made to order. Coffee was good and rather punchy, checkout was easy. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. Well done to all the team at Galaxie - a great overnight stay, thankyou so much.
