Simple but comfortable room. Staff were nice and room was clean. Great location in terms of being in the center of things but very loud outside at night due to nightlife. Bring ear plugs.

Too noisy

I was unlucky enough to have a room overlooking the Main Street and it was very noisy at night. Windows were not double glazed and it was quite difficult to get to sleep. Quality of mattress also very mediocre.

If booking this room say there are 2 people checking in. I was assigned a very small room....like had to step over my carry on suitcase that was beside my twinsize bed. My colleagues who also stayed in this hotel had normal size rooms for the same rate. Rooms are clean and staff were very nice.

If you don't have a car in Oxford this is an amazing location. A short walk from the train and bus stations and very centrally located to restaurants and other things to see in town. We were in a room on the top floor at the back and had no problem with noise. The room was clean and the front desk was helpful when we had questions, I would stay here again.

Convenient location, though the staircase to get to the reception was difficult at my age with a suitcase. They did give me a room on the first floor though, which was some compensation. A discount was given for breakfast across the road, so the price was good there and so was the breakfast! Our room was facing the main road and I had little sleep with students wandering around till 3:00am….maybe it was Orientation Week?

Unsatisfactory

Our room was cold during our overnight stay. The bathroom was cramped and cold. There is no elevator, so we had to carry our luggage up three flights of stairs. We won't be returning to this hotel.

Check-in process was slow and somewhat haphazard. Once the front desk person finally showed up — after an intercom call and a wait — everything worked out fine. The room was ok, but the bathroom smelled like cat urine. A more thorough room cleaning would be nice. The heating system was difficult to navigate. Check out was fine. The location is outstanding.
