Another wonderful stay at The Galaxie. Lovely hotel with quirky decor and well appointed rooms. Might struggle if you are a light sleeper as the blinds do let in some light and the road can be noisy. I keep returning as the ambience and service more than make up for it. The staff are really attentive and helpful and they really strive to make your stay truly wonderful.

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.

It was great. The hotel is good and the staff were very helpful.
5-night trip

8/10

The bed was very comfortable. Room is rather small, my window was right next to a boiler extractor, so didn’t fancy opening my window during my stay. The decor is trying to be up market I think, but it wasn’t done the best in my opinion. However all I really needed was a decent shower, which was very powerful! Slightly temperamental with the temperature however, and I wanted a comfy bed, which I got. What more do you really want for a business trip. Parking is an extra £10 per night though on top…..

A very unique and boutique hotel with quirky features. Loved the candy station (a little too much) but not the parking fee. Comfortably bed and acroom without a rail or wardrobe.

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

This hotel is located in the quiet neighborhoods. It takes few minutes to walk to grocery stores. The room was also clean and quiet. I also liked the breakfast options that they provided. The taste was great.

10/10

Booked for the aesthetic and wasn’t disappointed! The breakfast was delicious and dining area beautiful. My room was just what I needed, though the teacup/saucers were dusty and the electric kettle full of crusty flakes so I unfortunately couldn’t use the in-room tea station. And one of the travel shampoos had already been opened/used in my room. Other than those hiccups, wonderful experience here, would definitely come back.
