About this property

Welcome to Jericho Hotel

Located in the historic Jericho district of Oxford, Jericho Hotel offers practical accommodation in a quiet area just a 10-minute walk from the city center. The property sits above the Al-Shami Lebanese restaurant, providing convenient access to dining without leaving the building. Guests will find amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free parking, room service, a bar, and an airport shuttle, though there is no fitness center or swimming pool on site.

The hotel delivers a straightforward, no-frills stay with clean, renovated rooms featuring basic comforts and traditional lock-and-key access. Some guests note thin walls and dated interiors, while others appreciate the tidy and functional environment. Check-in takes place manually via the restaurant during operating hours, and early luggage storage is not available, which may require some planning for arrivals outside these times.

Jericho Hotel's location is ideal for visitors interested in exploring Oxford’s university colleges, museums, and landmarks such as the Ashmolean Museum and the Bodleian Library. The surrounding area is noted for its cultural significance and convenient walking distance to various attractions. Nearby hotels offer a range of alternative options within easy reach.

While guest reviews show a mix of opinions, praise is generally directed at the friendly and polite staff, comfortable beds, and value for money. Quiet surroundings and accessibility to public transportation and central Oxford make it suitable for travelers seeking budget-conscious, low-key lodgings in a historic setting. Pet-friendly policies add to its appeal for some visitors.

Comfy Missed the staff - a waiter at the downstairs restaurant served as a receptionist

One of the best places I've stayed in the UK. Staff was extremely friendly, rooms were clean and comfortable and the location was wonderful: quiet, but still walking distance from centre of town. Baffled, frankly, but the mixed reviews, because we thought it was a hidden gem. It's quirky, but that's hardly a negative to us.

A very tidy functional hotel. The staff were very polite and efficient. The only niggle was the TV struggled to keep a good signal so was a bit patchy reception.

This is a no frills accommodation. There’s no reception. There’s nowhere to stow luggage if you’re early. Check in is manual. You use an actual lock and key. It’s not for everyone. If you need a cheap private room with a bath, it works well. The hallways are clean and renovated. However, everything’s a little tired inside the room. Walls are thin (you will hear your neighbors). The most redeeming part is the incredible location. Jericho is an amazing neighborhood to go out in.

Had a lovely stayed in Jericho hotel great location. 10 mins walk to center. It’s a simple room above the restaurant, bed comfy , bathrooms renovated with shower. Breakfast isn’t included. Staff at the restaurant are very helpful, polite and welcoming Check in - at the restaurant do not come before the restaurant open as you cannot access to your room or any facilities. Parking - on road parking around the hotel is for permit holders only so I use JustPark app, parked at William Lucy way it’s so convenient 10 mins walk by lovely canel path.

Can not fault this place - the management are amazing - the place is 5 min walk from center of Oxford. It’s not the Ritz - it does not pretend to be - it’s perfect for price, location and staff. Great stay - will be back soon!!
