WESTGATE HOTEL, Oxford – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
Rooms & Accommodations
The Westgate Hotel offers 19 rooms across two buildings: a main hotel with 12 en-suite rooms and an annex with 7 rooms featuring shared bathrooms. Rooms include a wardrobe, electric kettle, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. En-suite rooms have private showers, while annex rooms share bathrooms on each floor. Some rooms overlook the garden. The hotel is not suitable for guests with mobility issues due to narrow staircases.
Dining & Breakfast
A continental breakfast is included, served in the garden during warmer months. Options include fruit salad, yogurt, cereal, boiled eggs, toast, and coffee. Cooked breakfast items like fried eggs, sausage, and bacon are available for an additional fee. The hotel does not have an on-site restaurant but is near Tony's Pizza, The Coffee Bean, and local pubs.
Location & Transport
The hotel is a 2-minute walk from Oxford Railway Station and a 10-minute walk to the city center. Nearby landmarks include the Said Business School (adjacent), Oxford Castle (1 km), and the Pitt Rivers Museum (1.5 km). Bus Stop #7 (to Central Station) and the Green Line Tram (Stop: Hauptbahnhof) are steps away. Off-site parking is available on a first-come basis.
Services & Facilities
Staff provide luggage storage, local sightseeing advice, and help with transport. Daily housekeeping includes tea and coffee replenishment. The garden has outdoor seating, and bicycle storage is available. The hotel does not have a spa or fitness center but offers keyless entry and USB charging points in some rooms.
Guest Experience
Guests highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and convenient location. Noise from nearby construction (ongoing rail works) may affect light sleepers. The Skiff Club has used the hotel for 10 years for river outings, with mooring at Osney Mill Marina. Earplugs are provided upon request.
