This hotel is completely ideal for visiting Oxford. It is quiet, safe, and near all tourist sites as well as shopping and restaurants. Very lovely decorated spacious rooms with nice amenities. But the best accolade is the staff. They are beyond friendly, helpful, and accommodating . Very attentive and courteous. Don’t bother with the chain hotels when you can stay in this super accommodation.

This is a centre of city hotel come house / houses converted to hotel in my opinion At £300 for one night it’s not cheap and therefore your expecting high quality your not expecting a cubicle showed that has no water pressure and luke warm water that is a drizzle as no pressure your also expecting at this time of the year the heating to be on in the room the hallway was warmer than the room The welcome at £300 was the same Luke warm and our departure was tow word good bye What a disappointment for £300 per night The room above our room you could hear our fellow quests walking around and people heading to there rooms our shower was located in an alcove beside our front door Nice hotel but was it worth £300 with shower and condition you would expect a higher standard and your paying for the central location Would go back not a hope at that price and been a VIP Expedia customer offered the wine but never arrived experience learned

Opted to pay at the hotel. Not only did they take a full payment 4 days early they then took it again on the day of arrival. Lots of attmepted explanations but still took it twice when they weren't supposed to. They need a plumber in the bathroom as well. Shower controls were very stiff, shower didnt drain away and a tap didn't twist the right way. Shower

This was a great hotel for a stay in central Oxford. I prefer to walk when possible and this was perfect for seeing everything I wanted. The main colleges, the library, and restaurants were all easily walkable. The room was small as expected (single room), but well appointed with everything I needed. The bathroom and shower were extremely nice! Loved my stay here.
