The Mad Hatter's Guestrooms

Great location- Fantastic decor fitted to a high standard........only issue was the bathroom door dragging along the brand new carpet making shutting the door tricky but I'm sure this will be adjusted as every other attention to detail was a delight. Don't be deterred by the venue below- although we were out until late during the evening, we were actually disappointed that Friday night Drag Bingo wasn't being hosted.......I'm sure it attracts a great crowd because the owners have created such a fun vibe. The road is a noisy one if the windows are open but there were excellent aircon units and the room was really comfortable in both furnishings and temperature & very quiet. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and to recommend- I travel extensively and this was a refreshing change from corporate hotels. The tea and coffee facilities were lovely (a packet of biscuits or two would've been welcome but had perhaps just been missed from the tray). There are cafes close by and a bus that drops you super close if you have luggage to bring from the station but we loved walking through Oxford with light luggage (20mins) on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Thank you to The Mad Hatter for the excellent communication- it really was a treat to enter the World of Alice, in this magical City.

This hotel close to downtown Oxford (10-20 minute walk depending on where you are going) is more of a pub with music, that also has themed hotel rooms. On our visit the pub was closed for renovations, so the room was much quieter than we expected (a good thing). Outside of the usual room coffeemaker, there are no amenities or on site parking, nor on site staff. You check in on line and use a code to enter the building and your room. The room was decorated with an Alice in Wonderland theme, and was clean and comfortable, with en suite bathroom. Public parking lot is a 10 minute walk and not free. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Overall, an acceptable accomodations from which to explore downtown Oxford by foot.

Very special hotel with fun decorations. Helpful staff, easy checkin. Walking distance of city centre.

The hotel is in a good location and within walking distance of the City centre. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the only negative was the noise in our bedroom from the karaoke bar below us.

Pre-visit ID check requires you to provide a photo of your passport, hopefully that sort of information is either deleted immediately or protected against hackers .... You won't get the PIN to access the property / your room until this pre-check is complete so look out for their email (which went into my junk folder as it has links). Overall not pleased with the quality of communications. This is a repurposed corner pub, furnishing could be described as quirky or just cheap depending on your POV, narrow stairs and trip hazards might be a bit tricky for some, overall it felt a bit tatty. The downstairs bar was in full swing when we got back a 11pm, that explained why the host had provided earplugs .....
