The Bocardo Hotel's location in the heart of Oxford is convenient for accessing local attractions, but my stay was marred by significant noise issues. While the staff were friendly and helpful, my room's poor soundproofing made it hard to get a restful night's sleep. Overall, it had its strengths, but the drawbacks put a damper on my experience.
