DO NOT BOOK HERE. This is one step up from a hostel, other than the food. Photos do NOT reflect what you get!! I booked a Delux Quadruple that was advertised as spacious. I got a ground floor room that stepped immediately onto the sidewalk with two beds, NO DRAWERS AND THE CLOSETS WERE STUFFED WITH SHEETS AND COMFORTERS. I discussed the discrepancies with the front desk person and her reply was, yes the photos are misleading on Expedia, but then I showed her the same photos on there website - no comment. When I asked about why I was paying the same amount for a cramped room the reply was “That is what you get today for that charge, the charges change daily” This is a place that misleads you and smiles while doing it. Three other guests were making the same comments as they had nowhere to place their luggage in their room as the beds left no space around them. BOOK HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Absolutely lovely stay!
The staff was so unbelievably kind - I cannot say enough good things about them! From the free snacks in the cafe through to putting the Olympics on during meals, we were really treated like family. Someone even helped me get my rental car out of the parking lot (which absolutely terrified me as an American). The location is great - right near the folly bridge, a convenient walk to everything while still being quiet and peaceful!

Staying here was delightful. The area was quiet and very close to great things to see in Oxford. We had a lovely dinner and continental breakfast while we stayed. The manager was lovely and accommodating. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Oxford!

The property was over—rated and very expensive, probably due to surge pricing. The cafe staff were incredibly helpful and that was the saving grace.

The place needs some updating with bathroom walls pilling off and mould around the window. As soon as 7am arrives the whole building smells like breakfast and made the morning uncomfortable until we had to open the window in the room.
