Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford♡

Disappointing If I’m honest

6.0

Initial impressions were good, the exterior of the hotel was nice and the check inn process was efficient and friendly. However the room was dated and in need of repair. The carpet had stains everywhere and parts of the bathroom were rusty. There was also a prom on the evening we stayed and the hotel was very very noisy. Did not enjoy the peaceful night we were hoping for and did not feel like valued clientele.

Excellent position

This is a lovely hotel. Ideal for a visit to Oxford. Easy transport links. Park and Ride and number 6 bus. Reception staff are welcoming and helpful. Free welcome drink is a nice touch. We eat in their restaurant on the first evening. It was busy so reserve a table. Food was delicious. Breakfast is well stocked. Staff work hard to keep it running efficiently . It could be a little bit warmer. Rooms ( we stayed in 238) are well equipped and very clean. We did think the water in fridge would have been replaced for our second day.

Budget price but 5 star quality

We stayed overnight en route to Portsmouth from Scotland. Excellent location with plenty of parking and very close to the Peartree P&R which we used to visit Oxford. Excellent service and £2.50 for car and two adults. Spacious room and excellent breakfast with wide range of choices. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Had an excellent stay at Leonardo hotel. Unfortunately had to cut the 2 day stay short due to my partner having a medical emergency. But with this they were absolutely incredible with the refund policy and help in our time of need. A big thank you to Sania at the front desk I hope this recognition is seen.

Parking Fines

I am a volunteer for a charity and drive their Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle. On the 23 February 2026, I had to take a disabled person from Oxford to Brighton and stayed overnight on the 22/23 at the Leonardo Oxford. As this is an electric vehicle i didn't use the carpark overnight and charged it at a local on street charge point. I told this to reception and no mention was made of the parking conditions. Next morning I collected the vehicle at 07.00 and went back to the Leonardo for breakfast. I didn't know the parking requirements and have incurred a £100 penalty. An expensive breakfast! Having read other reviews claiming scam parking conditions here, the hotel, should carefully consider their reputation in using the parking company ParkMaven and make sure that the breakfast reception staff as well as the main reception advice customers of the parking requirements and which include the warning of a £100 penalty.
