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.

Staying at The Bocardo Hotel was quite an experience, with its central location in Oxford making it easy to explore the area. I found the room to be small but adequate, equipped with quality toiletries which added a nice touch. However, the noise from the street was quite overwhelming at times, and the absence of a lift made it challenging lugging my suitcase up two flights of stairs.

I had a mixed experience at The Bocardo Hotel. While the location in the center of Oxford was fantastic and the staff, especially Giacomo, were incredibly helpful, the room itself was quite small and there were some noise issues from the street. The daily refreshments and cleanliness were definitely highlights. yet the lack of breakfast and minor maintenance issues made it feel less appealing overall.
