The hotel is in a good location and within walking distance of the City centre. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the only negative was the noise in our bedroom from the karaoke bar below us.

The room was perfect, the place is perfectly located (I realized when I got there that this is where the Cricketer's Arms used to be, long ago), and it was exactly what I needed at a brilliant price. I'll book here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
We weren’t too excited when we arrived here. The outside front was full of rubbish and the area wasn’t the best. After 6 flights of stairs we were pleasantly surprised by the room. It was clean and modern, the bathroom was new and clean and had a shower recess which you don’t always get in the UK. The bed was comfy and we were happy to have a good sized tv. It needed a basket for the tea and sugar and bits and pieces as it was all put in the cups which we then had to tip it all out to use.

Very easy to find the property, easy self check in instructions. Great recommendations given for near by places for food and drink. Clean room and comfy bed. Only down point to the room is a floor piece trim could be put down between bedroom and bathroom due to the different height of flooring it’s a toe stubber opportunity. Property itself very presentable with it being next to a main road there wasn’t much road traffic noise. Not extremely noisy in the bar below wasn’t able to gain the experience of the bar on the ground floor as it had a private event or a gig on our last night so unable to attend which was unfortunate. Very easy to get around bus stop located just over the road which 10/15 minutes your in the centre of Oxford. Or if walking 20 ish minutes just following the main road. Overall a good stop over and the property had everything we needed for our stay.

Room was quirky, clean and had good amenities (perhaps only missing an iron?) with a particularly good shower and comfortable bed. The location is great, not in centre but a nice walk with plenty of cafe’s, restaurants and bars nearby. Only downside’s We stopped on a Friday and Saturday night and it was noisy from the bar/karaoke downstairs till circa 1am, (we had fun guessing what the song was) however they do warn you when booking and provide ear plugs. Also the stairs are quite steep but again they have plenty of warning and offer assistance if required. Overall thought it was good value for Oxford
