The Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford is a great choice for guests looking for accommodation in Oxford, having been recently renovated in 2024. With Oxford just 5km away and Oxford Airport only 5km away, transportation is very convenient. Keeping busy is easy, with Wolvercote Goose Green, St Peter's Church and North Oxford Lawn Tennis Club all nearby. After a long day of sightseeing, guests can retire to the comfort of the hotel. This Oxford hotel features parking on site. This hotel is a popular accommodation for guests traveling with families.
"The hotel is about five kilometers from Oxford city center, a convenient 10-12 minute taxi ride away. The hotel's front desk manager and several staff members are British and provide good service. There's also a Chinese lady, likely to facilitate communication with Chinese guests.
Overall, the facilities are quite good and relatively new. I have two issues though: 1. There's no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage upstairs yourself; 2. The gym opens at 6:30 AM and closes at 9:30 PM, but they stop allowing entry at 9 PM.
The English breakfast is decent and quite authentic. However, the service is generally poor. During my stay, one morning I witnessed a female front desk receptionist arguing with an elderly British man, who seemed extremely upset. This level of service is unacceptable.
One evening, I had cod at Leo's restaurant, and it was the worst I've ever tasted. When it was served, it had a slight odor, similar to stinky mandarin fish. It was bland and incredibly dry when I ate it. It smelled bad and tasted like nothing. After two bites, I left it, only eating the sides and fries. The fries were also the worst I've ever had, no exaggeration!
Overall, I'd likely stay at this hotel again in the future, but I definitely won't be having dinner at the hotel restaurant."
