This hotel is tucked in a quiet neighborhood in Oxford, close to walking to city center. Rooms are in a few different buildings (former flats, I am assuming), so not a traditional type of hotel.

Small boutique hotel, very friendly and well-run. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Housekeeping staff also very diligent and professional. Close to everything in Oxford but on a fairly quiet side street without much traffic noise. Great experience!

Great hotel location for the river and south end of the city. Residential location which keeps it a quiet area. We used the park and ride and it was a 5 min slow walk to the hotel. Cafe on opposite side of road where you check in has good food and great service.

While not brand new, I think this was my favorite hotel of the whole stay in the UK. It was close to the hub of Oxford, but on a side street that was nice and quiet. The room was spacious, and there was air conditioning, a fridge, and a tub. Couldn't have asked for better during our stay in Oxford!
