Good hotel right in the centre of Oxford with easy walk to the theatre. Rooms were ok and breakfast was a bit basic but it's the location that makes this hotel.

Great location. Room was clean and spacious. No air conditioning, but there is a fan in the room. Windows also open for a nice breeze. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Bottle of wine was a nice welcome gift.

Property lovely and very quiet while being in the centre of a noisy city. It was a very hot night when I stayed and a stronger fan would have been good! Otherwise excellent.

Excellent location and smooth check in with helpful staff. Unfortunately my room was next to a pub and was v noisy however the staff found another quieter room quickly for me. Issues with the TV remote controls in both rooms and the air con didn’t work and the room was v warm. Breakfast was an additional charge of £20 which didn’t include a cooked breakfast so not really worth the money. Overall hotel is in an excellent location but needs some attention to detail to justify the cost.

Very old rooms, the pictures give a very wrong impression. Bathroom very old, shower not in the bathroom but in the room, old carpet, dirty curtains, completely overpriced for what you get. Breakfast very simple.

Only good thing about this hotel is it's location, being right in the city centre. The room was very small; there was no air conditioning or cooling (just a freestanding electric fan); the shower room flooring tiles were broken in several places;

We had a one night stay at the hotel. Our room was clean. Floors abit wonky. Bed was comfortable. Check in and out was easy. Location good. Quite noisy with doors opening and closing and in the morning there seemed to be some work going on in or just outside the hotel which made it quite loud. Would stay again. No negatives
