The dirty walls, carpet, and lack of services. Oh and no elevator

The proximity to my meeting venue.

Bathroom windows were broken. Let in noise through window opening. Due to late night party downstairs below the room - could not sleep.

very noisy from people outside the hotel

Perfect location and very helpful staff

The lack of roof tiles above our room during rainy days.

A toothsome restaurant nearby.

Stayed in March 2024

The bar downstairs was loud and audible throughout the whole hotel (we had a room on the 1st and top floor) and doesn't close till 1am (it is a nice bar, lovely cocktails) but don't expect an early night without noise cancelling earphones. Rooms could do with some TLC aesthetic-wise but does the job. Also worth mentioning lots of stairs, don't recommend if you have issues with that. One of the door handles came off in one of the rooms, it went back on, but that shouldn't have happened.

The location was great, opposite a spoons and has a little off-license right below it that's open till late so not a problem there. For the money we paid it was a soft bed and a warm room the staff were really nice and helpful getting to the rooms which actually had AC which was a nice surprise so that'd be good in the summer. Showers and pressure were good, were hot when you told them to be which you don't always get in hotels. If you're just visiting for the night and want to go out on the Oxford town highly recommend it for the money, does the job.

long stairway up to reception. 3 long metal bannisters on the right were falling off the wall. All three of them. Had I leant on the them without seeing the damage, I could easily have fallen down 20 stairs. I think this is seriously dangerous and should be reported to the authorities. If one was slightly loose - OK. All three were coming of the wall and one bannister - a metal tube 10 ft long was waving about in the air, not attached at either end but by one screw in the middle. I'd be terrified if anyone less stable than me stayed there. This was the only way into and out of the hotel.

Location - very central

Shared bathroom wasn’t clean Room was cold

The room could have a mini fridge and microwave

The service

Stayed in March 2024

The room was run down, shower produced too little water, varying temperature, black mold in the folds. Toilet seat not firmly fixed. No reading light on either bed.

Good beds, friendly staff. Central location, suprisingly quiet (further upstairs)

Stayed in March 2024

The walls had water damage, the carpet was clearly very old and the shower was clean but groggy at the same time.

The location was great! The room was generally clean, quite a large room and came with all regular necessities (towels, shower gel etc...) Overall I'd say for one night it's a good stay.

The whole building could do with a up grade, wall paper hanging off,rail hanging off wall, all the furniture is old and dated, if you don't mind where u stay and what the place looks like you just want a comfy bed this is the place for you

The bed was o.k

Window in the bathroom was broken so there was extremly cold in the bathroom with no heating there. The room is above the bar so very noisy in the room till late night.

Stayed in January 2024

we were put in a first floor room which was right above the bar attached to the hotel and there was incredibly loud music playing until 1.30am then people singing and shouting outside the hotel for another half an hour. We were there to sightsee and had a pregnant friend with us so this wasn’t ideal as none of us got a good nights sleep.

good location, near to the train station and centre of town for sightseeing

Stayed in December 2023

My room was directly above the bar and it was extremely loud.

the tent of the bathroom looked like it was never been cleaned.

Room was big and staff very gentle.

The hotel is in urgent need of a renovation and in very poor conditions. Our room, especially the carpet smelled like an ashtray. The window frame was rotting (literally). The heater was just barely hanging on the wall and fell flat on my foot. The excellent attention of the staff couldn't cover the deficiencies of the building.

You can't beat the location. The hotel is located not further than 200 mts from the bus station and on a walking distance from the train station and every amenity in Oxford. The personnel were extremely nice and accommodating. They kept our bags safely while we were out before our check-in and even after the check-out. The bathroom and linens were also very clean.

Stayed in October 2023

The room was cramped and tired, the mattress was as hard as a brick and the pillows were lumpy, neither of us slept very well. The wardrobe was in front of the window, which was open and we were unable to close it, so had no use coming from the street throughout the night.

The bathroom was fairly good and both the bathroom and bedroom were clean.

A little run dated/run down bit it was clean.

Location. Pretty central so easy to walk everywhere.

The facilities were some way from the bedroom ,no hot water in room. The noise was terrible.

The hotel is part of a bar which blasts heavy music till around 01:00/02:00 so if you appreciate a good nights sleep or are a light sleeper then I would say you need to have plenty of bevs on board or not stay there unfortunately.

The room has a nice décor, the bathroom had a jacuzzi bath (we did not use), free tea and coffee, the location is situated bang in the middle of town which was perfect for what we needed as we were attending the New theatre.

Stayed in October 2023

Very tired interior. Wallpaper coming off the walls, bathroom window didn’t open and had no blinds. The shower was also terrible (shower tray was plastic so it warped when you stood on it, and the flow rate was very low).

Good central location but a very busy street for nightlife so not the quietest. Staff were friendly and helpful when we got there, but I called ahead and asked for the nearest car park to the hotel, and they directed me to the Park & Ride which is 4 miles away. I asked again and he confirmed that was the closest. In the end a quick Google found the Worcester St car park barely 50 metres away…

The property had changed its name to Oxobar and Hotel, which we were unaware of, so it was hard to locate it. The noise from the street meant we didn’t have a restful sleep. The bathroom hadn’t been properly cleaned from previous guests. The stairs leading up to the reception were dirty. The only parking was at an area not far away and it cost us £39 to park the car overnight. When we rang them to find out where the Hotel was, we were told to use Park and Ride, being from overseas we had no idea where this was and weren’t given any directions as to how to get there.

The close proximity to Oxford University and sites around central Oxford. A good sized room. The bed was comfortable.
