The High Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire - England, OX1 4BE, United Kingdom
Off Oxford High Street and opposite Magdalen College, this 17th-century converted coaching inn was often visited by the famous novelists J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S Lewis while being fellows of Oxford University. Oxford’s main shopping district is 10 minutes’ walking distance. The historic Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel has bright rooms that have internet access and a TV with satellite channels. Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel is a good central base for exploring Oxford, only a 5-minute walk to the city center. Numerous colleges, museums and punting on the river are a short walk away.

The central location is a big plus and is very close to the bus-stop for Thornhill Park & Ride. The rooms are clean and the staff, friendly. They will store luggage after check-out so one can have more time in Oxford. There are plenty of choices at breakfast, English or Continental.
If you like cake soap over bottled, bring your own.

Very little
There is no parking available as advertised. Room was extremely hot no aircon. Cobwebs on windowsills. Slymmy/ rotten cucumbers on breakfast buffet. Staff don’t clean tables during breakfast. Overall a very bad experience

A central location near all the major locations in Oxford
And what could only be described between mild summers day, the bedrooms that faced towards Magdalen College felt like a greenhouse at day and a sauna at night. Whilst a fan was provided this simply pushed the stifling hot air around. There appeared to be an air conditioning unit in the room but no means of activating it. It proved impossible to have a decent nights sleep which had an incredibly negative impact upon a friend’s reunion I had organised. When the conditions were reported to the reception staff, a rather insincere apology was offered. DO NOT VISIT THIS HOTEL IN THE SUMMER

Location. Bathroom.
The bathroom was as big as the room. When o arrived there were no lights on the corridor so I had to get my phone out to see my room number.

Love the location especially for May morning!
Teabags were a bit weird. Usually you get some varied teabags in sachets of different varieties. We just had two naked teabags both of one variety.

The new wing is made very well and is air conditioned
There’s no network at the property but i think that’s an Oxford wide issue

The location and the room was fine
NO air conditioned, it was broken, they gave us a fan, and send us a cooling sistem, but it was disapointing…. We asked to have a taxi ready at an early hour, in advance ( the night before) but I guess they forgot, we had to call an UBER

Location is very good
No air conditioning No phone, No water Broken hairdryer Mould and dirt on the walls in bathroom Loose toilet seat and loo roll holder Broken mouldy window in shower area Only one window that opened a very small amount 18 steps from 2nd to 3rd floor and no lift, they didn’t ask about mobility issues or offer any help with the suitcase. I did them the courtesy of discussing it at reception simply asking for the bathroom to be cleaned etc but nothing happened. I had to request water and a replacement hairdryer a second time. Absolutely a sad,dated,3 star hotel. Only redeeming feature is the location.

The location is very convenient. The hotel has a very good breakfast.
The only downside is the lack of A/C. We had 90 degrees and up weather.

Very quiet but at the same time in a convenient central location , the lounge was a comfortable area to spend time in.
Due to a heatwave our room was uncomfortably hot, we were unable to sleep and there was no air conditioning and as the windows were painted up we were unable to open the windows

Great location walking distance from everything. There’s parking really close by so no stress if you can’t get a spot in the hotel. Facilities were great. We was located in the new build. Aircon in the weather made the stay even more comfortable. Highly recommend.
