I was so pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I was very comfortable, there was access to everything I needed, and the staff was very warm and welcoming. I'm already looking forward to staying here again!

Very disappointed with the hotel chose to go away to celebrate being cancer free for 2 years looked online and liked the pictures so booked it on the strength of those only to find when there that the pictures were 5 years old and lots of things have changed. Came back to have a drink in the bar at 10 pm and was told the bar was closed and it was nothing like in the pictures when mentioned to the receptionists I was told they would inform management. Had I known it was nothing like the pictures on line I would not have booked that hotel. Spoiled what should have been a special weekend away with my partner.

My only criticisms are two: 1) you should install "grab- bars" in the otherwise geat showers; and - 2) add 2 hand wash clothes to the towels set. 2)

It was really conveniently located, yet still quiet so that we weren't disturbed at night. The staff were lovely and helpful, and the breakfast was great. The only minor thing that could have been improved on is that our hallway was a little tired looking (marks on walls, paint chipping in places) and could have used a little sprucing up. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the centre of Oxford.

Some good and some bad elements to to this slightly faded hotel in city centre location. Some rooms are good, others are in poor condition. Smallish rooms but with decent sized well decorated bathrooms.

Give it a miss
The hotel is very old and a bit quirky. We were on the third floor and the elevator went to the second floor. The laundry service that we were counting on is actually provided by a third party and they were very expensive so we had to wait until we got to London. Had we been there in a hotter time period we would have been miserable as the air conditioner was not great. The last night we were there heavy rains moved in and the ceiling leaked through the light fixture at the foot of the bed, and the water knocked out the overhead lights. We woke up to cold wet feet. The staff seemed not at all concerned. Additionally, the restaurant in the hotel was terrible.

Everything was pretty good- room was super hot but i guess thats England when there isn't cool weather. The parking situation was a bit stressful when retrieving our car. There were 10 or more vehicles piled in when we were told they never exceed 6. Had to wait and the older manager gentlemen was a little rude while he moved several cars before we could leave. Room was good.

Check in was delayed due to system problems . The air con control in the room was not working , showing an error message (clearly not a new issue ) . This was rectified by the provision of a portable fan which was very noisy making the choice to lose sleep through heat or noise . The shaver socket was just taped over untidily with black masking tape and unusable . The external window had a badly fitted lock on it which was inaccessible and the interior glazed window was unsafe to close as there was a 1 inch gap between the pane of glass and the frame exposing a sharp glass edge . This made it impossible to quieten the noise of the construction workers below who started work (and shouting) before 8am. Dated and in parts (the window) unsafe hotel and the worst nights sleep I have had .
