Hotels in Cowley Road, Oxford

Cowley Road is Oxford's multicultural main street — a long east-side corridor of Ethiopian restaurants, Sri Lankan groceries, Polish delis, live music pubs, a floating community of student cyclists and the city's only independent cinema. The contrast with the spired academic city five minutes' walk west is immediate and deliberate. It is where Oxford's non-university residents eat and drink, and where students go when they want to escape the bubble. For budget travellers, longer stays and anyone who finds the tourist-facing centre too curated, Cowley Road provides an honest, more diverse version of Oxford at noticeably better prices and with considerably more variety per square metre.
