Hotel was satisfactory and clean, staff pleasant and helpful, free continental breakfast and cooked breakfast available for a fee. Main drawback was the noisy roadworks near the hotel that went a on all day

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The standard of housekeeping and cleanliness of the room was exceptional. All staff were professional, polite and efficient.
The breakfast buffet provided a good selection of healthy foods.
I would definitely recommend others to stay at the hotel and would book again if visiting Oxford in the future.

The hotel is showing its age, but it's clean and within walking distance of the train station and the city center. The breakfast is good, although freshly cooked meals cost extra. We liked it and would happily return.
A major construction site is still underway until 2026, but there was no work at night.

Not a true 3-star—barely a 2. No soap, noisy despite odd window panels, and “free” breakfast came with a charge. Staff were kind, and location *might* be great… once the roadworks end in August 2026.

Lovely family run hotel in central location. It’s was a bit underwhelming from the outside but the garden is beautiful and the we enjoyed the hospitality. Breakfast was very nice. We will definitely go back next time we travel in Oxford.
