8/10 Very good

Liked the convenient location and clean, modern rooms (including bathroom). It was somewhat noisy from bars/pubs but things got quiet after 11pm.

8/10 Very good

Very friendly staff - warm welcome and fast check in. Called me to check when I'd be arriving. Very central location but quiet. Only issue is that there was a sstrange smell in the reception area which ws quite offputting and it's a bit run down.

6/10 Good

Great location, count with steep stairs as you get to your room. It was very hot in the room (in mid-April) and the AC control was unconveniently located at quite a distance from the bed area, around two corners and no remote control was provided. The amenities were basic,

A great bed for the night in the middle of Oxford, reasonably priced, very polite and professional staff. Couldn't ask for more.
Virtual, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Emily, 4-night trip

Good for a one night stop

Nicely located, easy walk to all attractions, but the rooms are super small with limited conveniences.

young, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Friendly and helpful staff, a fan was placed in my room before arrival which was considerate as this was the hottest day of the year so far. Amenities were fine, room included an ironing board and iron, small fridge, TV with great channel selection and lovely L'Occitane bathroom products. Linens and towels were clean. There were a few things that could be improved though - the air conditioning unit leaked when in use and long after use, and the bed had been pulled away from the wall to allow for the leak to drip onto the carpet (although some still did drip onto the duvet). Some items such as the TV remote and the iron weren't very clean. The toilet seat had fallen off one of its hinges and some of the bathroom tiles had large cracks in them. The sash windows could be opened, but there was no way of keeping them open without holding them. I'm used to small UK city centre hotel rooms but the room was extremely small for the amount paid - not great value for money. Bed was comfortable and I had a good night's sleep, plenty of hot water in the morning - overall satisfactory but a few things that could be improved.
