This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The standard of housekeeping and cleanliness of the room was exceptional. All staff were professional, polite and efficient. The breakfast buffet provided a good selection of healthy foods. I would definitely recommend others to stay at the hotel and would book again if visiting Oxford in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is showing its age, but it's clean and within walking distance of the train station and the city center. The breakfast is good, although freshly cooked meals cost extra. We liked it and would happily return. A major construction site is still underway until 2026, but there was no work at night.

Frédéric

Not a true 3-star—barely a 2. No soap, noisy despite odd window panels, and “free” breakfast came with a charge. Staff were kind, and location *might* be great… once the roadworks end in August 2026.
Lovely breakfast location

Kia

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Breakfast was good and the staff were great, but it struggled to make up for the uncomfortable room. The ‘annex’ to the hotel is an old run down single front house that is down the street and around the corner, a bit further than we anticipated carrying our luggage. The beds were not particularly comfortable and the heat seemed to trap in the room no matter how long we left the windows open. Definitely dated for the price.
