Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff are friendly helpful and kind. I had a nice decent size bed and room for a single person. There is no elevator/lift so be prepared to lug your luggage, and staff are so kind they help you. Internet was broken for 2 days but they fixed it. This hotel located in heart of downtown so easy to walk everywhere. I highly recommend this property!

Simple but comfortable room. Staff were nice and room was clean. Great location in terms of being in the center of things but very loud outside at night due to nightlife. Bring ear plugs.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

Too noisy

I was unlucky enough to have a room overlooking the Main Street and it was very noisy at night. Windows were not double glazed and it was quite difficult to get to sleep. Quality of mattress also very mediocre.

A great bed for the night in the middle of Oxford, reasonably priced, very polite and professional staff. Couldn't ask for more.

If booking this room say there are 2 people checking in. I was assigned a very small room....like had to step over my carry on suitcase that was beside my twinsize bed. My colleagues who also stayed in this hotel had normal size rooms for the same rate. Rooms are clean and staff were very nice.
