Id

We arrived at midday & our room & parking space was available at no extra cost which was greatly appreciated. A very short walk took us into the Centre. The room was lovely, bed extra comfortable so had a great night sleep following a busy sightseeing afternoon & evening. We ate at The Cafe both in the evening & again for breakfast (a full & delicious English). Will definitely stay here again when visiting Oxford.

It was in a unique part of Oxford, convenient to walk to many of the things we wanted to see and do, clean, friendly, comfortable, wonderful hot breakfast included. We really enjoyed our stay and it was a perfect kick off for our long awaited UK holiday

10/10 Exceptional

Our family of 4 stayed at this quaint hotel just outside of downtown Oxford for a night. Rooms were clean and modern and we had dinner and breakfast in the cafe downstairs. The cafe offered excellent food and staff were very professional and friendly. Highly recommended if you want a quite place within walking distance (15 minutes) from the city center.
eugene, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Small and friendly hotel, close to Folly bridge and easily walkable to the centre and university areas. Room was clean and comfortable but only one USB port on a table lamp which was slow charging. Cafe was very good and breakfast was lovely.

Rong, 14-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was exceptionally helpful friendly and accommodating, with Busna and Sam ranking among the best we’ve ever encountered in decades of travel! The hotel was also quite close to Oxford City Centre and the University, so everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. We will definitely be recommending Ethos to our friends and returning in our next trip to England!
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great find in Oxford. Well appointed, comfortable rooms with a good breakfast and even free snacks. Friendly staff. I’d definitely stay here in future visits to Oxford. It’s a good walk from the train station but doable, a ten minute walk to city centre.

Hidden gem near city center

Very nice hotel located walking distance from downtown so in a quiet area. Lovely little cafe on site which served a wonderful breakfast. Room very comfortable and updated. Would stay here again if visiting Oxford.

We arrived before our scheduled check-in and were able to park in front of the hotel. We left the car and set out to explore Oxford on foot. Good location for us. Room was on the small side but the bed was comfortable. Overall, the room was nice. Staff were helpful. Food at the cafe was very good.

Sweet hotel in a convenient, residential location

Ethos Hotel is located in a residential area about a 15-minute walk to Oxford's city center. We enjoyed the quieter surroundings and the historic neighborhood, which also was a short walk from the Thames River and its long walking paths. The hotel is located in three historic buildings from 1888 that have been renovated. The caffe is in the center building and also serves as the reception area. We found the staff to be very friendly, accommodating and responsive. The breakfast, included in our stay, was comprehensive and varied; snacks were available in the caffe, which had long hours and also served the local neighborhood: a fact that we enjoyed. We felt more integrated in the town and less "touristy." One word of caution, the original buildings are old, do not have elevators, and the staircases are narrow. Large and/or heavy suitcases can be a challenge; but we felt that the location and hotel were worth the small inconveniences of staying in an historic and "vintage" space.
