Truly lovely staff at this little gem of a hotel and cafe. Immaculately clean, well equipped and nicely situated on a residential street away from traffic and street noise. The fittings are a little tired in places but the bed was really comfortable, and lots of thoughtful touches. The staff however, were superb. Nothing was too much trouble and we truly felt well looked after. Well done Ethos.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We are frequent travelers and this by far has been a bitter experience. The room we were stayed was straight out of construction room. Carpets were getting off with the rolling suitcases, you could see u finished construction around the room . The room was located in an attic which was oddly shaped. Bathroom wall was dirty and stained. Window was making weird noises while the wind was blowing outside . Most annoying part was the room was on 3 rd floor without any elevators and very narrow and tiny stairs. We had no help tolling the large suitcases upstairs and when asked for another room, we were declined. We did not have a pleasant experience at all at this location. I would avoid if possible.

Wonderful Place to Stay in Oxford
Loved this hotel! Service was impeccable and the rooms were very clean. Their restaurant/bar was very convenient and served a lovely complimentary breakfast. Location was wonderful - just a couple blocks from boat tours and downtown Oxford.

Liked: Staff & service
This is a great location in Oxford! Great walking distance to many sights and streets. There were a few things within our stay that weren’t as pleasant. There was hard water mold buildup in the water kettle— not found until after the tea had been poured. Not a great surprise. Additionally, some dust buildup on the trim in the bathroom, broken temperature handles in the shower, and a hair on the bed-side table. Some rather pleasant surprises would be the heated floors and towel warmer, a lovely card and gift of wine in celebration of our anniversary, and the breakfast upgrade for our first morning. Thank you, Ethos!

The room was comfortable and clean. Nice selection of tea and coffee, fridge and microwave. Bed comfy, room warm. The breakfast is lovely, lots of choice. The staff were really lovely, helpful and friendly. The city centre is walkable. I'd advise you use the park and ride if you are driving to Oxford, very reasonable and easy to use. No street parking. We enjoyed our stay and reccomend Ethos Hotel.
