It is a very nice and cosy hotel with kind and helpful staff. The rooms are small, but comfortable enough and offer good value for money. The main downside is the location. It is more than a 30-minute walk from the city center, so it is not ideal if you plan to explore the city entirely on foot. However, there are plenty of buses to the center, with bus stops only a 3–5 minute walk from the hotel. Overall, a pleasant stay and good value for money.

We had an amazing last minute stay at The Galaxie. Whilst there was a £15 charge for parking, was convenient, off the road at the back of this lovely presented and 'quirky' hotel. Enjoyed a really warm and relaxed greeting on arrival and we were shown to our room during which the free pick your own sweet selection was pointed out to us. Our standard double room which, whilst not large, was well decorated with nice furnishings. Breakfast was amazing and very good value with an array of fresh fruit and yoghurts, fresh breads, fresh juices and, even though advertised as continental, also had English cooked breakfast options available. I forgot his name but the man managing the breakfast was amazing and chatty and really knowledgeable about Oxford. A 45 minute walk, on a very hot day, to the centre of Oxford but a relatively short and straightforward bus ride back on a well resourced route. Our overall experience clearly demonstrates the effort this private-owned hotel, managed by the grandchildren of the original owners, put into looking after its guests.

Please, please, please. Do not book this hotel. It was dirty, mouldy Apples with bugs crawling through it. Dirty smelly rooms - with filthy ripped carpets. We could not stay as it was unfold on their website and we are still trying to get our money back.

The staff were friendly and super helpful and the room was spacious with a comfortable bed. The shower was over a sunken bath which was rather awkward (suggest conversion to a standard shower base). Overall, would recommend as a place to stay.
