Across recent reviews, The Porterhouse grill & rooms stands out for comfortable, well‑decorated rooms, standout breakfasts and steak dinners, and a convenient setting near Oxford station within an easy walk to the city centre.
Many guests also highlight quiet nights and good room sizes. Service is widely praised as friendly and accommodating, though a few noted limited overnight staffing or occasional lapses. Practical downsides include steep staircases in this historic building, parking being inconvenient, and periodic nearby construction. Expect a cosy boutique stay above a popular restaurant.

Stayed for one night in Oxford- Room was clean and comfortable - no air conditioning - we had a comfortable night but may be unbearable in warmer weather. Staff was very accommodating - let us store our luggage both before checkin and after. Stairs leading up to room are very steep- but overall an excellent place to stay .

We’ve just got back from a very enjoyable stay in Oxford. The staff at The Porterhouse were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for them. Their friendly welcoming attitude was really appreciated. They even nipped out to buy Amaretto for me when they ran out! Our room was nice and the food was incredible. I had the best fillet steak I’ve ever eaten. We parked at the Seagate Park and Ride which was only a 5 minute bus ride away and so much cheaper than using one of the car parks in the city. We would definitely recommend The Porterhouse 🙂

We thought the hotel was lovely. The room was large. The hanging space for clothes was short, which wasn't good for hanging dresses. We felt the room could have benefited from a comfortable chair there is room. The curtains were difficult to close in the bay window because of the desk, they needed to be closed as the blinds were not black out blinds. The hotel was within easy walking distance to the town, but it was a nuisance parking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was spotless.

This is a nice little high-end pub/inn. We stayed two nights and though the building is old, with wonky floors and tight staircases, it's very warm, cosy and relaxing to stay in. I would recommend it and stay again next time I'm visiting in Oxford :D Not too far from the city centre either, ~ 20min walk if you're leisurely.

This is a lovely historic building with beautifully appointed rooms and a Five Star Steakhouse. We had the best meal of our entire 16 day trip to the UK-the steak was the most flavorful of any I have ever eaten. An absolute MUST VISIT if you eat red meat. The only issue we had was the staircase to our room. They did assist us with our heavy bag but it was a chore. Hotels.com should insist on knowing #of stair steps required for those of us who need to know. Breakfast was delicious-a lovely pub, with beautiful rooms, but being young and healthy is recommended.

The Porterhouse is in walking distance to the train station, but on the other side of the tracks getting it away from the main tourist area. The Hop On/Hop Off buss is at the train station. It was absolutely silent at night. We were able to use that or just walk to any place we wanted to see. We slept with the windows open during out visit and at night time there wasn't a peep to be heard. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast, and once for dinner and the food preparations were exceptionally good, especially the aged steak. The staff were very accommodating, assisting with getting our luggage up the stairs to our room. This is an old classic building that has been well updated and within those constraints I would rate the hotel as exceptional and worth a revisit the next time I find myself in the area.

The room was lovely apart from the lighting which was terrible! Couldn’t read in bed as the light wasn’t close enough but too dim anyway. The rest of the room was too dark, I had to use the torch on my phone to see to read the coffee machine’s instructions. Bathroom light, however, was great, I should have read in there. It would have been nice just to have black coffee pods, only crème ones available but it was a nice touch to have water and milk in the fridge on the landing

An upgrade to the rooms above the restaurant model. Though not luxurious, our room 4 at the back of the top floor was great for us: comfortable, clean, nicely decorated and quiet. The restaurant part was more a charming steakhouse than a pub. Breakfast was top notch with one meaty option including steak. Dinner there too a great experience, though not inexpensive. The option though for just a pint before closing was enjoyable. Location was also good for us: close but not too close to the crazy of Oxford, in a walkable residential area with pub and eating options downstairs and right nearby. All staff encountered were pleasant and effective.

I really enjoyed my one night stay here. The staff was extremely helpful and took great care of me. Nice room, good breakfast, and VERY close to the train station. If you are arriving from London you can exit on the platform you arrive on and save a few minutes walk. Lots of construction at the station itself but this did not cause any noise problems while I was there. Very nice stay!

Porterhouse staff were extremely accommodating. Upon notifying them of our late arrival they willingly stayed later to make sure we could get into our room. Everyone was very kind, the service was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. It’s a reasonable walk to the city center and right next to the train station. I highly recommend anyone stay here if visiting Oxford.

Really enjoyed the amazing warm breakfast included with the room. The restaurant is a must, to have some amazing food in the evening. The hotel was quiet, and the bed comfy. The location of the property is in easy walking distance from the train station, a car rental store and also the amazing Oxford city centre.

Hotel/Inn and restaurant were both disappointing. Room - no extra amenities, door very difficult to open from inside the room, coffee maker broken, shower very difficult to adjust. Steak at steak restaurant mediocre…difficult to cut. My butter sauce tipped and it took so long for them to bring another that I was finished eating. Only plus was close in proximity to train station and gentleman who was there when we arrived to hold our bags was pleasant and breakfast person tried to get our coffee pot to work for us and concluded that yes indeed it was broken.

The Porterhouse was fantastic! The room was perfect with beautiful decor and a terrific bathroom and comfy bed. The staff were always very upbeat and friendly to us, answering all of our questions with a smile. We ate there several times for breakfast and dinner. We were not disappointed! I have to say, we come from an area with a nationally renowned beef restaurant and the Porterhouse steak was better. Sorry Angus Barn! You will not be disappointed.

A perfect way to enjoy two nights in Oxford. Iconic English countryside rooms over a gastro-pub that has incredible steaks, desserts and service. With only a few rooms, you feel like family and everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Bonus, we met lovely people who were dining or drinking in the restaurant and bar every time we dined. Easy walk to the train station, main city stretch and Oxford. Thank you!!

I enjoy a hotel that makes you feel like the location… not some generic place that looks the same in every location. The Porterhouse was great in that regard, made me feel like I was in Oxford. Clean and comfy room and great location. Staff was great and helpful in every way! Breakfast was nice. I would definitely stay again!

Service was excellent but the room was under par for the tariff charged. No climate control, no bar fridge, tiny crappy tv.

Easy and quick check in (dropped bags off at the hotel before going to park elsewhere). The room was very warm (the bathroom was so hot) and we had to ask someone to help us turn down the temperature as we tried and it didn't seem to be making a difference. This was done by a staff member but the rooms definitely retain a lot of heat. Breakfast was very good quality but I asked for poached eggs to be subbed for fried or scrambled and this was not possible. I wasn't offered an alternate option either. Given there were only 3 other people in the restaurant (aside from me and my partner) and the nights stay cost just under £200 I did think the hotel could've been more accommodating. Good location but cost is probably too high for what you get at the hotel
