Chilson Vacation Rentals

"Good points: Staff were friendly, accommodation was clean and tidy and food provision and bar was satisfactory. Poor points: The room was pretty sparse and lacking any warmth or character as were the rest of the facilities. We didn’t try the Spa or Golf, so can’t comment on this. gym, sauna, hot tub type facilities (which I would be happy to pay for) are pretty standard in most ‘Spa’ hotels so I felt a bit cheated. Maybe should have looked deeper into the hotel facilities before reservation, but this was a quick decision. Anyway, overall rating is ok. "

"Motel is beautifully designed and diner offers great food options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only criticism that we have, is the room was not cleaned to a high standard after initial arrival ( on arrival the room was spotless ). The days following there were multiple signs that the room had not been cleaned properly. However, I would stay again. "

"10/10 couldn't wish for a better stay."

"Friendly, clean room, had everything you might need"

"Room was far too hot-top floor and heating pumping out with no way to turn down. Small fan in room not up to job of cooling sufficiently. Bar /food not open. Disappointing for a Mercure hotel. Staff apologetic but unable to solve issue."

"Absolutely lovely hotel for a stay. Professional and friendly staff who are really helpful, a fantastic and characterful building with really luxurious and clean rooms, all set in a great area of the Cotswolds!"

"Spotlessly clean hotel with a friendly welcome on arrival. Room had wonderfully comfortable beds and pillows and a great sized shower. Hotel was lovely and quiet too. The only disappointment was the quality of the cooked breakfast elements, really cheap, deep fried sausages, bacon had run out and only scrambled eggs available -also, heavily diluted fresh juice. Wasn't a messive issue for us but if you're into a full cooked breakfast it might be. Overall, good 👍 "

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Relaxing Stay at Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford! We had an absolutely excellent experience at Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and welcoming. Both of our rooms were spacious, modern, and extremely comfortable. The second room we booked for our guests was equally impressive, and they were very happy with the comfort and overall experience. The cleanliness in both rooms was impeccable—everything felt fresh, well maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. We truly appreciated the complimentary amenities, including parking, water, and fruits—small details that made a big difference and reflected genuine hospitality. The location is perfect—peaceful and quiet, yet very convenient for accessing Oxford city center, making it ideal for a relaxed stay. The staff were courteous, professional, and always ready to help, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Oxford—we would definitely stay here again! 👏 Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Small small room, might not suit you if you are even mildly claustrophobic. And if you don't like AC running all night. Very good for solo travellers needing a basic room. Room was clean. Comfortable bed (I really appreciated that). Easy to check in. Hotel is newly refurbished & EasyJet colour-themed. So you get the pictured: a cheerful no-frills experience, but not quite as shabby and basic as a Ryanair flight. Ticks all the basic boxes but gives you nothing extra. So no tea-making facilities in room. No wardrobe. Small shower, no bath (but plenty of warm water and good pressure). 10m^2 of space includes bathroom, so little more than a bare minimum of space. No space to swing a cat... but I would stay again. For one night or two it is unbeatable in price and comfort. Plus location in the heart of Summertown is actually lovely. I'd recommend that over other budget hotels that are further away from town. Remarkably quiet and yet in a lively area with shops and amenities. Friendly staff. A bit concerned about the card-lock situation. As a solo female I prefer hotel rooms with safety latches, you never know! "
