Central location and room had everything needed... en-suite, good shower and tea/coffee making facilities. However, tea/coffee not topped up and no-one on the premises to ask. We had no sleep as the theatre was next door and the stage crew were dismantling and loading lorries from 11pm until 6.30am!! No privacy in the room if cirtains were opened and neighbours were able to look directly into the shower... we hung a towel over the glass for privacy!

We had difficulty getting in. The phone number in the door did not work with my international phone so we had to find a local restaurant to allow us to use a phone. The Inn’s representative tried to first tell us to go to another place but then eventually gave us the code for the lockbox which went fine. Then I reached out to them to see if we could leave our luggage post check out for a couple hours to take a walking tour, but I never got a response and there did not seem to be any place to leave our luggage safely. They need more reception support

Property was central for walking to everything. Pub oppposite caused noise late at night AND we had lorries loading stage equipment from nearby theatre for 2 hours until 12.30am. This happens many times a week the roadies told us. The walls were paper thin & the windows single glazed so not only outside noise kept us awake but other guests talking & tv on until 4am! The price we were charged £330 for 2 nights, was not warranted.

We stayed in room 4 at Ali Inn and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. My wife woke up with multiple bites on her back and arm, consistent with bedbug bites. When we inspected the bed, we found several insects among the sheets. We placed the insects in a plastic bag as evidence and went to reception in the morning to report the issue, but there was no one available at the time. We also took photos of both the bites and the insects. This kind of situation is unacceptable, as it presents a serious health and hygiene concern. We expected better care and responsibility from the hotel.

The room was nice and clean. Super nice area to be in Oxford super convenient! But there was this intense and strange smell as soon as one enters the reception. The downstairs smelled bad. But the room did not have any of the smell and was fine.

Man on reception was friendly. Unfortunately my room wasn't what I booked (I was supposed to have a double bed, not two singles). Room was dirty as well with stains on the walls. Incredibly noisy from before 5am as well.

DO NOT STAY HERE

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES The bed had bed bugs and I was woken at midnight covered in bed bugs and bed bug bites. The bathroom, shower head and ceiling was grimey and overall dirty. The noise outside was very loud and I got very little sleep due to general noise and delivery drivers banging and talking. The manager was extremely rude when I spoke to him and was SHOUTING at me down the phone when I was discussing the bed bug issue. He point blank refused to give a refund for the stay. A terrible terrible business and management. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Chosen purely on price and location namely cheap and central. City centre so expect it to be noisy at night. Currently building work going on opposite so noisy early morning. Keys collected from polite person at desk on arrival. No one there in morning but not an issue. Narrow staircase if u have heavy luggage. Room clean. Kettle, Hair dryer, iron. Bedding clean. Bathroom clean. Mould around shower but not a game changer. Fire extinguishers in hallways. No fire exit found other than main staircase. Cheap, City centre location, city centre noise, Room clean. Fulfilled our brief cheap and central.
