The Galaxie was fine/suitable for a one night stay. The standard room we had was quite small and you could quite clearly hear those on the other side of the wall/in the hallway/in the carpark. The service from the receptionist was also rather lacklustre. But hey, there was paid parking and it was in an alright location (30 minute walk into Oxford but close to parks and the Summertown cafes). Not amazing but adequate.

This is a little gem of a hotel in Summertown, Oxford. Exquisite, and very comfortable for any visitor - Convenient bus routes to town centre outside, also M&S a hundred yards away.

A very unique and boutique hotel with quirky features. Loved the candy station (a little too much) but not the parking fee. Comfortably bed and acroom without a rail or wardrobe.

Great hotel, room was much bigger than we were expecting and nice view of the garden. Service was always friendly, and great value breakfast. Easy to get into town with regular buses right outside. Summertown itself is really nice too, lots of little shops and cafes. We didn't get parking at the hotel as it was full, but there's a car park 2 minutes away

This hotel is located in the quiet neighborhoods. It takes few minutes to walk to grocery stores. The room was also clean and quiet. I also liked the breakfast options that they provided. The taste was great.
