Staff were very nice. Good location if you want to be in the town centre of Oxford. Room was clean. Not 4 star in my opinion I'm afraid. Unfortunately for me the room was next to a main road and extremely noisy on a Saturday night. You will need earplugs on a weekend I think.

There was no way of turning off the main light in the room, with the switches not working. When I reported this to reception they said the only way to deal with this was for me to use the switch on the fuse box each time I wanted to turn it on or off, which also involved me standing on a stool to do this, in the dark for half the time. I don't think this is an acceptable situation in a hotel room, and yet the hotel would not even consider any kind of reimbursement for this

We had a great stay! The staff was friendly, the room clean, and great access to everything! It could get a little loud at night, but we were impressed with the sound proofing. In terms of service, my mom forgot her phone, and not only did they call right away, they raced to the train station to make sure we didn’t leave without it! I would definitely come back.

Gets the job done

The AC was good which was a nice change after the last 2 hotels where we could never get the rooms cool (and those were very nice hotels). And despite being on an active street it was super quiet. Our sheets has some stains on them. The shower didn't maintain temp and the drain seemed to be clogged a bit. After a short the shower, the bottom was almost overflowing.

The staff were very friendly, and we had a comfortable stay. The amenities were excellent as well. Since it’s on a street with many restaurants, the noise at night was a bit noticeable, but apart from that, I was very satisfied.

Compact room, clean and with all you need for a one night stay. Very easy check in process and friendly member of staff. Very centrally located and street was a little noisy in the morning due to deliveries etc. but not a huge issue. Would stay here again 👍
