Mercure Eastgate Townhouse

73 High Street, Oxford

The Eastgate Hotel was originally a 17th Century Coaching Inn, but over recent years it has been renovated whilst remaining in keeping with the mellow architecture of the city. Being centrally located on the corner of High Street and Merton Street it is an ideal base to explore this historical city. Most colleges are within walking distance but Magdalen, Merton and Queen’s Colleges are all neighbours. The 62 en-suite bedrooms offer all the comforts you would expect with satellite television, modem access points, iron & ironing board and tea/coffee making facilities in all rooms. A proportion of bedrooms are suitable for families with sofa beds which pull down to create a comfortable third bed. Cots and baby facilities can be provided – please ask at the time of booking. Oxford students have quite taken to the hotel’s facilities. The lively Mertons Bar, is situated on the ground floor of the hotel serving coffee and tea.

I was slightly annoyed that the hotel charged £12.50 per day for carparking. There was no reference to ths charge that I can recall from the booking information. Had I be aware of it I might not have selected it from the possibilities in Oxford. The quality of breakfast was disappointing: food was tepid and the replacement supplies to the buffet slow in appearing.

there was the fridge in my room but the drinks were not cold. I think the fridge was broken. I wanted to have a bottle of beer but I could not find a bottle opener in the room. I had a couple of tea and coffee but there was no tea spoon to stir milk or suger.
I could smell of chippy oil from bathroom window in the evening and in the morning.
