We made an impromptu plan to spend the night in Oxford and, while looking for something within our budget for three adults, we came across this property.
The property itself appears to have been refurbished internally, with the lobby in particular looking newly renovated. However, the surrounding locality felt quite rough, which was not something we felt was reflected in the reviews.
The main issue during our stay was a strong foul smell coming from the toilet. It appeared that there may have been an issue with the plumbing or ventilation, as the smell returned whenever the bathroom door was opened. We tried various ways to get rid of the smell, and Ahmed, one of the staff members, was very understanding and helpful throughout. Unfortunately, the issue seemed to be beyond what could reasonably be resolved during our stay.
The fan provided was also quite squeaky and appeared to be blowing accumulated lint/dust into the room, so it was not particularly effective or pleasant to use.
Overall, the staff were helpful and accommodating, but we would recommend that the owners investigate the plumbing/ventilation issue, as this significantly affected our experience.
