John, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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

Good location average place to stay

Location good with a short walk not the city centre. Staff, very friendly. Breakfast very basic, cereals, juice, coffee/tea, some fruit, toast and pastries included anything else is charged extra. Parking at another hotel £12,50 a night. Hotel, not sure you can call it that more like a B&B, we were in the Annexe rooms, short walk from the hotel, but the room was very dated, bed was not comfortable along with very basic amenities and not even a wardrobe in the room, shared bathroom was ok, newly renovated. Place is not worth the money we paid that’s for sure.
Matthew, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Breakfast was good and the staff were great, but it struggled to make up for the uncomfortable room. The ‘annex’ to the hotel is an old run down single front house that is down the street and around the corner, a bit further than we anticipated carrying our luggage. The beds were not particularly comfortable and the heat seemed to trap in the room no matter how long we left the windows open. Definitely dated for the price.
Kia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Functional hotel with decent continental breakfast.
Douglas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good for the price and right next to train station and university
Hudson, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was decent—old and a little run down, but they do a good job keeping it clean and welcoming
Erin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very close to the train station, walking distance to city centre, helpful staff, clean room with complimentary tea / coffee, good breakfast. If I go to Oxford again, I'll definitely stay there.
Fariba, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are basic but location is very convenient for the railway station and only about 10 mins walk to central part of Oxford.
AMAR, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place with a great staff!

Hotel itself was as expected: nice, cozy and tradional. Absolutely fabulous was the staff: professional, efficient and at the same time warm and caring of their guests and their needs. Elderly people were treated well. I recommend to be in contact with this hotel in advance, because there are many different kind of rooms available for variable preferences.
Terhi, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good, clean, well-located property for an affordable stay in Oxford. Management was very kind and helpful. Staff was very kind and professional. Road construction is a bit of a noisy inconvenience but of course none of hotel's fault--situation is supposed to be better soon.
marco, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Although there was road works, the place was easy to access. No lift in Annex which was tough with 6 bags on top floor. Will the manager was outstanding. I would go back given his hospitality and guest service. Seemed a happy place where staff were chatty and happy.
Veronica, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a seperate part of the main hotel with a shared bathroom. Room was adequate and clean, no complaints at all. We paid for a cooked breakfast which was both hot and tasty and worth the money. Should I go to Oxford again I would definitely re-visit.
Anita, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ideal location & comfortable with free parking

Old property, pretty basic, but clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were very welcoming. Opted for the cooked breakfast at a small extra cost rather than the inclusive continental option which was very tasty. Location for central Oxford couldn't have been better - an easy 10 min walk into the centre and station was virtually across the road if required. Would definitely recommend.
Elaine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a nice affordable lodging. The staff were great and accommodating. I stayed in the annex, a building down the street. Small spartan room with shared toilet and shower. It worked out well for me (might need to bring shampoo). The breakfast was good. There is a lot of construction around the building making parking and getting to the hotel difficult. But I was given excellent instructions before arrival and that was enough.
Kevin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

5 min walk to train station. 15 min walk to city centre. Free parking inside hotel. Hotel room clean. Room facing Main Street is a bit noisy. Free breakfast don’t expect too much.
Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pricey but acceptable.

Nice enough. Basic, not worth full money. Had a discount so not too bad. Basic breakfast, clean room. No fan but otherwise all OK. Good location.
