Rooms & Amenities
The Westgate Hotel offers 19 rooms across two buildings: a main hotel with 12 en-suite rooms and an annexe with 7 rooms featuring shared bathrooms. Rooms include a wardrobe, electric kettle, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. En-suite rooms have private showers, while annexe rooms share bathrooms on each floor. Some rooms overlook the garden.
Dining Options
A continental breakfast is included, served in the garden during warmer months. Options include fruit salad, yogurt, cereal, boiled eggs, toast, and coffee. Cooked breakfast items like fried eggs, sausage, and bacon are available for an additional charge.
Leisure & Convenience
The hotel has a garden with seating for breakfast or relaxation. Bicycle storage is available for guests. The Skiff Club has used the hotel for over 10 years as a base for rowing trips on the Thames, with mooring at Osney Mill Marina.
Location & Transport
The hotel is a 2-minute walk from Oxford Railway Station and a 10-minute walk to the city center. It's near the Thames Path and Grandpont Nature Park. Bus stops and the train station provide easy access to surrounding areas. Parking is available on-site.
Services & Staff
Staff assist with luggage, local recommendations, and breakfast service. Daily housekeeping includes tea and coffee replenishment. The hotel is family-run, with owners who have over 40 years of experience. Note: The building has narrow staircases and no ground-floor rooms, making it unsuitable for guests with mobility issues.
“Westgate Hotel strikes me as a solid choice for visitors prioritizing location and responsiveness in Oxford. Its proximity to the train station and town center, coupled with the staff's attentiveness, are definite pluses. While basic, it appears to cover the essentials for a comfortable stay without breaking the bank.”
