Nice clean room, good big window. Pillows & bed quite firm which meant I didn’t sleep that well. Could do with a fridge in room. Other wise had a nice stay.

nice rooms, limited on premise staff
Very limited free parking (9 spots) and not sure there is anywhere else to park nearby; it was the closest hotel I could find to downtown. The room looked newly refreshed and was clean, but the towels were a bit threadbare. Water flow was pretty weak for the shower. The area looks like it’s in the middle of being upscaled so it looked a little dicey, but since it’s on a main street, it probably is reasonably safe. Traffic was horrendous getting there, so don’t miss the turn to the parking lot; it may take a long time to turn around !

Really convenient for walking into Oxford, not far from the river. Abingdon road is busy but the double glazing is really effective (we were at the front of the house). Super-clean, friendly staff - thank you!

Disliked: Staff & service
There was a staff person who was obviously very prejudiced and we were not the kind he wanted at his hotel. He made it clear he was superior us and he tried to make us feel bad about being there. It put a bad feeling on our visit to Oxford. Americans, beware of being treated extremely rudely because of where you live. Even if you spend your hard earned money to stay at this hotel.

Convenient and quiet
A convenient location, not too far for walking into town, but plenty of buses from the nearby stop. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet, at the back of the house. I was surprised that breakfast was not included, but probably my fault for not reading the details carefully. However, I eat very little at breakfast and felt that £12.50 was rather too much for my requirements.
