The Porterhouse is in walking distance to the train station, but on the other side of the tracks getting it away from the main tourist area. The Hop On/Hop Off buss is at the train station. It was absolutely silent at night. We were able to use that or just walk to any place we wanted to see. We slept with the windows open during out visit and at night time there wasn't a peep to be heard. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast, and once for dinner and the food preparations were exceptionally good, especially the aged steak. The staff were very accommodating, assisting with getting our luggage up the stairs to our room. This is an old classic building that has been well updated and within those constraints I would rate the hotel as exceptional and worth a revisit the next time I find myself in the area.

Overpriced

Overpriced for what it is which is a converted pub / house down a residential suite with our room overlooking a building site with noise and dusk at the premium. The restaurant downstairs was nicely decorated but lacked atmosphere and the food was average. The rest of the building needed some tlc and the room was ok but not £250 ok!!

Really enjoyed the amazing warm breakfast included with the room. The restaurant is a must, to have some amazing food in the evening. The hotel was quiet, and the bed comfy. The location of the property is in easy walking distance from the train station, a car rental store and also the amazing Oxford city centre.

Awesome

The Porterhouse was fantastic! The room was perfect with beautiful decor and a terrific bathroom and comfy bed. The staff were always very upbeat and friendly to us, answering all of our questions with a smile. We ate there several times for breakfast and dinner. We were not disappointed! I have to say, we come from an area with a nationally renowned beef restaurant and the Porterhouse steak was better. Sorry Angus Barn! You will not be disappointed.

An upgrade to the rooms above the restaurant model. Though not luxurious, our room 4 at the back of the top floor was great for us: comfortable, clean, nicely decorated and quiet. The restaurant part was more a charming steakhouse than a pub. Breakfast was top notch with one meaty option including steak. Dinner there too a great experience, though not inexpensive. The option though for just a pint before closing was enjoyable. Location was also good for us: close but not too close to the crazy of Oxford, in a walkable residential area with pub and eating options downstairs and right nearby. All staff encountered were pleasant and effective.

Stayed for one night in Oxford- Room was clean and comfortable - no air conditioning - we had a comfortable night but may be unbearable in warmer weather. Staff was very accommodating - let us store our luggage both before checkin and after. Stairs leading up to room are very steep- but overall an excellent place to stay .

Excellent all around!

We stayed in a room and had breakfast and dinner. Great room! Comfortable, roomy, beautiful. Fantastic meal! My husband got the sirloin and thought it was the best steak he’s ever had. Lovely staff, great atmosphere. I’m a vegetarian and also had a wonderful dinner. The breakfast was also delicious. Will always stay here when visiting Oxford.

Great meals-lovely large room

This is a lovely historic building with beautifully appointed rooms and a Five Star Steakhouse. We had the best meal of our entire 16 day trip to the UK-the steak was the most flavorful of any I have ever eaten. An absolute MUST VISIT if you eat red meat. The only issue we had was the staircase to our room. They did assist us with our heavy bag but it was a chore. Hotels.com should insist on knowing #of stair steps required for those of us who need to know. Breakfast was delicious-a lovely pub, with beautiful rooms, but being young and healthy is recommended.

Quaint, Quiet & Cosy

This is a nice little high-end pub/inn. We stayed two nights and though the building is old, with wonky floors and tight staircases, it's very warm, cosy and relaxing to stay in. I would recommend it and stay again next time I'm visiting in Oxford :D Not too far from the city centre either, ~ 20min walk if you're leisurely.

Disappointing.

Hotel/Inn and restaurant were both disappointing. Room - no extra amenities, door very difficult to open from inside the room, coffee maker broken, shower very difficult to adjust. Steak at steak restaurant mediocre…difficult to cut. My butter sauce tipped and it took so long for them to bring another that I was finished eating. Only plus was close in proximity to train station and gentleman who was there when we arrived to hold our bags was pleasant and breakfast person tried to get our coffee pot to work for us and concluded that yes indeed it was broken.
