Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford is often praised for its good value, convenient access to Oxford city center via frequent buses, and a wonderful, broad breakfast selection with fresh options. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, especially when upgraded to executive rooms, and enjoy the reasonably priced Marco Pierre White steak bar. While the pool is noted as being quite small by some, the hotel's location also offers a pleasant walk to Wolvercote Cemetery, where J.R. R. Tolkien is buried.

Adequate Stay Overall

natural lightopening windowbus stophigh food pricesfabric piecesoutdated facilities
The room had natural light and a window I could open. The whole hotel was clean. The bus stop for the city center was nearby.
The bar food prices seemed high and the quality was lacking. The drinks had fabric pieces in them. The spa facilities need updating and do not match the hotel description.
