Great hotel for easy access ( including walking ) into Oxford . Unusually it is with a residential area surrounded by houses , so is peaceful and quiet . The parking arrangements are a little odd in that you park at the front of the hotel , a dozen spaces here or round the back in another car park , another dozen spaces , but for this privilege you are charged £10 a day . This is because the parking is monitored by an outside company ( possibly to prevent rogue parking 🤔) . Our room (9) was directly off the reception area , therefore very convenient for access to restaurant / bar area , but a little noisy at times with loud guests at the reception desk . The room itself was spacious ( actually a room for disable guests, but we aren’t) . The shower room was huge and the water pressure from the shower was a little painful , as it is so powerful. The room gets completely soaking wet , so you need to put a towel by the door to prevent walking around the room with wet feet . The bed was a little small too , just a standard double 4’6” , but was comfortable enough . There was evidence of damp on one wall near the bed and some damage to the wall opposite the bed . That said it didn’t worry us too much as we kept the windows open as it was so warm . There are a couple of rooms with AC , but most are without . The breakfast in the morning was excellent , as was our evening meal, just be careful near a double window as the floor is sinking ( probably rotten timber) under the vinyl.
