Fodor's Expert Review Newton House

This handsome Victorian mansion, a five-minute walk from all of Oxford's action, is a sprawling, friendly place on three floors. Decent-size rooms are decorated in contemporary style with large-pattern wallpaper; some have original Victorian flourishes. The breakfast is varied, with yogurt and croissants along with the usual eggs and bacon. This is one of the best deals in the city center, so book early.
