Denise

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very clean comfortable room and ensuite. Very quiet despite location in a busy suburban street. Positives include: kettle and variety of hot drinks available in room. Very comfortable bed, plenty of spare pillows and, thankfully, spare duvet, as the room was quite cool. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, although not needed by us as we were only staying one night. The continental breakfast in the cafe was varied and plentiful, and included porridge, pancakes and toast if wanted. All the staff we met from checking in, and at breakfast were so friendly,cheery and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and we were able to leave our car in the car park beyond check out time, to enable us a couple of hours sightseeing before travelling home. Would definitely stay again next time in Oxford. Thank you for a lovely visit.

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!!

Bad experience in Oxford
This isn’t a hotel. It is a few random rooms behind and above a restaurant/pub. Minutes after checking in I found two fleas on me! We requested another romm and we’re grudgingly given one. This room (also behind the pub) was not clean. There were cobwebs on the light fixture, mold on the bathroom tile, holes in the drapes and an ant trap behind the toilet! The room was in an area that while convenient to Oxford was more than a little rundown. The staff were friendly enough and the breakfast was nice but I will not be staying here again. There are other rooms across the street in a separate building and maybe those are nicer but the rooms we saw were subpar.

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!

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.
