In October I'll be heading off to Oxford for the annual local pub boys on tour debacle. Two nights of drinking rudely interrupted by golf. I seem to have drawn the short straw in arranging accomodation but know little to nothing about Oxford.

They'll be about 14-16 in the party so 7-8 twin rooms required and a decent hotel bar. Close or in the city centre would be ideal.

Any recommendations chaps?

Old Bank Hotel, High Street

Randolph Hotel.

Neither are spectacular but will be big enough and central enough for your requirements.

Old Bank has a bar named Quod which is reasonable.

Don't go to the Randolph unless you are 60+ and want high tea with cucumber sandwiches and no crusts. IMHO.

I'll second the Malmaison. Lovely place, and plenty of eateries (and drinkeries for that matter) in the immediate area.

Thanks for those recommendations. However they might be out of the price bracket for a few of the lads so was looking at something in the region of £100 per room per night.

The Travellodge is on the main A34, 3 miles from the centre. True about the £100 though.
Hawkwell House Hotel in Iffley may fit the bill, 2 miles from city, or Linton Lodge Hotel (Best Western) is walkable from the centre, about 3/4 mile.
Cheapest city centre hotel is probably the River Hotel near the railway station.
Or maybe look at B&Bs, mainly located on Abingdon or Iffley Roads.
