Great location. Room was pretty big! Loved the cozy vibe. Lots going on around the hotel so my day time nap wasn’t ideal but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Worth noting it’s a lively area though. Staff was super helpful.

My only complaint is the door uses a physical key and when your in your room you must use the key to lock it! I would suggest that they put a lock on the inside! I feel this could be a fire hazard as it took me a few minutes to get the door locked and unlocked.

Nice view of Balliol

The location of this hotel is excellent, in the centre of the city and in walking distance of all that Oxford offers. The room was comfortable but getting a bit shabby. The bedside cabinet prevented access to the wardrobe and there was a ventilator cover hanging loose. But the staff were helpful and the room was a good size with a nice view of Balliol.

Great Location!

Clean, friendly, and a fantastic location across from Balliol College. That said, our room faced Broad Street which can be a little noisy at night. Also, the rooms are located above the shops and require navigating somewhat narrow and steep staircases.

The Buttery Hotel review for 11/30/24 - 12/01/24

I stayed at The Buttery Hotel for one night. I had requested a street facing room but in retrospect, a non -street facing room might have been quieter as there was noise from people in the street well after midnight. It was a very comfortable room, bed, bathroom. Check-in was easy once I found the hotel and person who checked me in was very and offered to carry my bag up to my room which was about 32 steps upstairs. I was also able to leave my bag at the hotel the next day so that it could be securely stored while I was out and about in Oxford before leaving by train late that day. I think it is a great option for 1 - 3 nights, not a luxury hotel but far more affordable. Just be prepared for many narrow steps.

This was my fifth stay at the Buttery. Its location is superb. I always prefer a room at the back, as Broad Street during term time can be a bit noisy at night, but this time my room was blissfully quiet even though there was a Christmas Fair going on outside in the front. The room/bed/bathroom were all wonderful and well equipped as usual. Staff are fabulous -- extremely helpful and kind. The stairs can be a challenge (no elevator) but I was able to get help with my suitcase. Charming view from the window of medieval colleges and other buildings. I just love staying at the Buttery.

This is a charming boutique hotel right on a pedestrian street that has food vendors, kiosks selling souvenirs and trinkets, live music, and a carousel. Very well situated! My only complaint is that the floor was very creaky, meaning that I could hear other patrons getting up in the night.

Comfortable hotel and great location

The location of this hotel in the heart of Oxford is why I picked this hotel. Overall, a nice and comfortable stay in a pleasant and clean room. It's a small hotel on one of Oxford's main streets next to some of the prominent universities and sights to visit. No restaurant, but a discount offered in a cafe next to the property.

A lovely hotel—fair price for the area, a superb location within walking distance to basically everything downtown, a clean room with a comfortable bed, newly renovated bathroom with excellent water pressure in the shower, and coffee, tea, water and cookies available daily in the room. I would’ve liked a small fridge to store perishable snacks in but that’s not a deal-breaker and I’m sure it would get expensive with the electricity. 10/10 would recommend, I’ll definitely stay here again for my next trip!
