Booked last minute so price was £85 which means less dissatisfied. If I had paid full price would not have been happy. Rooms small but clean and trying to have everything. Bathroom products good. I had a fully functioning air conditioning unit and everything we needed (but only one pillow each and no reception after 7) If you are in town for an event. Not going to be in much. Then it's fine, it's really central and would do that job. Not sure would use in other circumstances and would not pay full price.

Great location within walking distance to pretty much everything in Oxford.

Edwin, Sweden

The bed was comfy and the room was clean with nice touches such as biscuits and a glass bottle of water.

Dan, United Kingdom

Excellent location - very close to Paddington Station, so perfect for the train out to Heathrow. Also, the buses were great to get into the centre of town. and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic.

Mibel, Australia

it was like to be in a storage, boxes everywhere and it was dirty

Elisabetta, Italy

Center of town location, next to the long distance bus station, close to the train station, easy to get to any attraction from the hotel.

Piotr, United States of America

Location was spot on. Nice and central to everything. Décor was modern and room and bathroom clean. Aircon.

Rayleen, United Kingdom

Clean and smart room, comfortable bed, good shower with a big towel, all the stuff you would hope to find in a room and as always very pleasant staff! Just wondered if they could offer a continental breakfast on a tray in the morning

Paul, United Kingdom

air conditioning during the worst week ever for temperature

Paolo70it, Italy

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Portable a/c in room was very a great and much needed addition. Room and bathroom were very clean. Although I had a single room, it was spacious enough. Wi-Fi was Good.

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Do not even consider if you have mobility issue. Stairs and stairs. Not suitable if bringing a car. Car park is only few minutes walk but £35 a night so factor into your costs. Reception staff pleasant but insisted on a copy of my ID. As I was tired agreed but got it deleted next day when I left. Got manager over and explained you cannot do this. But it is not a hotel. It is perhaps a boutique hostel? Or just nice rooms. But no central area. Nowhere to sit or to meet people. No bar. No facility for breakfast. Basically you are going to have to lie on your bed.
눇Booked last minute so price was £85 which means less dissatisfied. If I had paid full price would not have been happy. Rooms small but clean and trying to have everything. Bathroom products good. I had a fully functioning air conditioning unit and everything we needed (but only one pillow each and no reception after 7) If you are in town for an event. Not going to be in much.

“You pay for the location.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Large Double Room/ Double Room (Optional extra Bed)
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Not possible to turn off all the lights in the room. For some completely unexplainable reason there is a green "emergency"/fire alarm light inside the main ceiling lamp in the room that is not possible to turn off. That means that the room will never be completely dark and that there will always be a weak, green light inside of it. Definitely a major annoyance if you are sensitive to lights when you sleep. Luckily for me the proximity of the hotel to the local pubs made it easy to find effective sleeping aide...
눇Great location within walking distance to pretty much everything in Oxford.

“Great location and good if you're fit (no lift), but hard work with babies or young children”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉It was not clear on the website that the hotel is accessed up a flight of stairs with no lift, which made it difficult with a baby and pram. The staff assembled a travel cot but there was not much room around it as the room was quite small. It was fairly noisy at night as on a busy street, but a good location.
눇The bed was comfy and the room was clean with nice touches such as biscuits and a glass bottle of water.

Okay
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Superior Double or Twin Room (Optional extra Bed)
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Expensive rooms. The bathroom in one of our rooms was very pokey; a larger person would have great difficulty having a shower. One window didn't open and the other only opened a few inches. Third bed in the room was very lumpy and only one pillow provided. Staff initially didn't think they could provide any more pillows but did source some extra ones when I asked. Extremely noisy as over busy restaurant/pub area. Take ear plugs!
눇Handy location for the railway station and shops

눉Not the hotel's fault, but from the street there was some loud noise till late at night on saturday. Due to the house's construction, you could here the people upstairs walking around. For "larger" people the bathroom might be to narrow.
눇Most friendly staff and on request great flexibility with check-in. No invasion in my private sphere e.g. by making the bed again, though someone had obviously cleaned up and refilled the refreshments. Very nice familiar atmosphere.

눉There is a club right in front of the hotel for minors ( not adults) which was very loud at night and couldn't sleep. There should be accurate information about how disturbances outside especially very significant one. Don't recommend it for elderly or just regular people who want to have a normal sleeping night !
