Ethos Hotel  

We liked the kitchenette area.

The blurb said there was parking and there wasn't unless you were only staying one night. During the day you had to move your car to the park and ride and then ride in on the bus or walk to the city but you also had to remove it from there by 6.30pm or pay more. It was a pain for the four nights we stayed. The carpet was very stained and there was mould in the shower. The decor was very boutique chic but to get to one side of the bed you had to make sure you didn't catch yourself on the over-sized mirror which had metal 'fronds' sticking out. overall very disappointing.

We had a fantastic stay at the Ethos hotel. The room, and indeed the rest of the property, was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to find a small kitchenette with sink, fridge, microwave and kettle. The bed was very comfortable and the room very clean and tidy. We will definitely visit again.

very convenient to the city and clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable.

It was slightly off putting that there were no staff at the hotel and you had to get guidance from David over the phone. Parking was a bit hit and miss as I had been assured that there was parking close by but as I wanted to stay in Oxford for the following day I was told to park at another hotel which was nearly a mile away and we had to lug our cases down there the following day.

Good sized room with kitchen, nice rooms. Very clean with a nice bathroom & shower.

The staff was never at the hotel and it seemed like they would prefer never to see us. The key was left in a box outside the room and if you wanted to talk to hotel staff you would have to call and wait for 10-15 minutes for anyone to show up. Rooms were nice, but there wasn't breakfast and the service was bad.

location

room very small, no bulb in bedside lamp, breakfast ok

Position - near the home of relatives.

No bedside table or light at one side of the bed

very nice, warm, nice design & very kind staff

Room was freezing on arrival . eventually got it sorted ,could not believe we had to go into town for our breakfast , my daughter had interview at oxford a most important day for her ,missed breakfast due to latter. Also, no available car spaces despite your information to say local availability so had to park in town 20mins walk . no staff around after few hours of arrival, no staff in hotel at night . very little information in reception re cab hire etc ,

Excellent location and value for money

lack of car parking

It was walking distance to the city centre.

For £110 a night I would expect the little things to be taken care of. Like extremely squeaky doors,so noisy that you can hear it from other rooms. Also,if you are on a ground floor room you can hear everytime that someone flushes the chain and everytime the boiler kicks in (sometimes in the middle of the night).....let's just say it didn't allow for a goods night sleep!!

Very clean and modern rooms with all that you might need for an overnight stay without and additional services.

Advertised as a modern hotel , not advertised as a room rental facility with restricted reception times .

The quiet neighbourhood just near the city centre

A poor breakfast facility. If you want to have a real breakfast you must find it elsewhere.
