Fab stay
Great hotel, room was much bigger than we were expecting and nice view of the garden. Service was always friendly, and great value breakfast. Easy to get into town with regular buses right outside. Summertown itself is really nice too, lots of little shops and cafes. We didn't get parking at the hotel as it was full, but there's a car park 2 minutes away

Would not stay again
The hotel is quirky but services are extremely limited, no food, breakfast started too late and there seems to be hardly any staff as no one could manage to print or email me an invoice, even though I asked every day of my 4 day stay and called twice after … very poor service for just basic …

Exquisite stay!
This is a little gem of a hotel in Summertown, Oxford. Exquisite, and very comfortable for any visitor - Convenient bus routes to town centre outside, also M&S a hundred yards away.

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.

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.
