"This property has lots of historic pizazz, great dining and lounge spaces and we had a nice large room on the first floor. Great location walkable to the university and most sites. The desk staff was efficient if not overly friendly, as was the wait staff in the lounge. All in all, I would recommend and stay here again"

"We had an excellent 2-night stay when I was dropping my daughter off to Oxford U. Very comfortable beds, quiet and cozy. We did not eat at the hotel as there were so many options right outside.
