The property was great! We were allowed to check in early to stay out of the rain which was very kind! The bed was comfy, but a little small! The TV was great! We had great channels to watch in the evenings! The bathroom was a good size and the shower pressure was great!!! Very happy with our stay!!

We really only slept here 2 nights and so can't comment too much other than the room was clean and comfortable. The staff i only spoke to on the phone and via email as we arrived late and left super early both days, were incredibly helpful. I would definitely stay again, thank you for your help!

This was just what we were looking for in our visit to Oxford. Easy parking, close enough to walk into town and visit several of the Colleges. The staff was great, stayed up late to get us checked in. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Stayed 3 nights for 2025 British GP. Can pick up a bus 1 block away, but only 15 min walk to downtown Oxford, where you can catch bus routes to Oxforad parkway Park & Ride, or pretty much any other bus route available. Clean, nice and helpful staff. Not luxury, but just nice overall. Has private parking lot in back, but may be full if you show up later in the eveing so beware as parking overall in Oxford is awful.

Nice accommodations within walking distance to town (0.7 mile or so). Staff at reception was very helpful. The only thing missing is a fridge in the room.

It was a very good stay for such a reasonable price! The bathroom was very much up-to-date and clean, bed was warm and comfy and the blankets are soft. It is an old building so the noise can be easily heard from other rooms. There was some guest above us that was very loud and noisy during 2am to early 6am so i wasn’t able to sleep as sound. But overall it is a great place to stay, just depends on whoever is above you
