This is the third time I have stayed at The Randolph and the third time I've felt cheated. I was a student at Oxford and The Randolph was legendary in those days - and totally out my league. Now that I can afford to stay there, it still holds a romantic pull and I always go with high expectations. Sadly... More

With less than 24 hours in Oxford we wanted a central location, and for that the Randolph is unbeatable. We decided not to take the £29 parking option and instead opted for booking through Park at My House.com in a space literally across the road from the hotel, no queuing, no hassle. Our room on the 4th floor was bijou... More

I stayed alone for 2 nights in the Macdonald Randolph. The building is really nice (as most of the others in Oxford as well). The hotel is rated as 5 stars and rather expensive so my expectations where pretty high and not completly fulfilled.

My husband then queued there for 45 mins to get a space. When our friends... More

I have been at the Randolph with my wife and my daughter the past April (28 to 30) to visit my elder son, who is studying at the University. It is really an excellent hotel in a beautiful building. We feel especially thankful to the efficiency and warmth of Mr. Francisco González, the head waiter of The Restaurant, who made... More

The Randolph is an excellent hotel in the centre of Oxford. I stayed there when attending a conference, so I had the benefit of not having to pay myself. It's certainly not a bargain, but the rooms are big and very well decorated, with all the amenities one would expect. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Very nice hotel bar.... More

£29.20 for one night's parking - when I called to reserve a parking space I was told that there were none available but that I would be given a voucher for the public car park next door. They neglected to mention that this would cost me £29.20.
