We went for a birthday getaway and thought it was great. Handy location, friendly and attentive staff, and comfortable room. The breakfast hamper was lovely, not had that elsewhere and it felt like quite the treat. The room could have done with some minor TLC, but that's being picky. Would go back.

The perfect place to stay in Oxford

This is the perfect place to stay in Oxford - a short walk from the station, central and very welcoming. I had a single room for one night - it was fresh, clean and had all the amenities one would expect including an ironing board - not always found in single rooms. White company soap dispensers - the brand is always a good sign. A very comfortable night indeed.

Lovely hotel and perfectly situated

Amazing hotel. Very pleased we decided to upgrade to the superior 'room' (was like a small flat). Nicely decorated and a great feel of the history of the place. Absolutely massive bath was amazing! Minor let downs for us were 1) can't be helped but there were road works outside and the room provided was on the ground floor so it was noisy, couldnt open windows etc. 2) the mattress was like a bread board (not what we were used to so personal pref). The combo resulted in a tricky nights sleep and an early wake up. That being said I would still recommend and would happily stay again. Yeah hotel itself is situated near everything in central Oxford..so was a minute away from all the bars and the theater we went to. Breakfast was incredible and served in a cute little hamper.

Quirky but with noisy neighbours

Very comfortable quirky hotel and friendly service but the bar next door was very noisy . Not the hotel’s fault, and it did stop around midnight but an early night was out of the question
