Good location average place to stay

Location good with a short walk not the city centre. Staff, very friendly. Breakfast very basic, cereals, juice, coffee/tea, some fruit, toast and pastries included anything else is charged extra. Parking at another hotel £12,50 a night. Hotel, not sure you can call it that more like a B&B, we were in the Annexe rooms, short walk from the hotel, but the room was very dated, bed was not comfortable along with very basic amenities and not even a wardrobe in the room, shared bathroom was ok, newly renovated. Place is not worth the money we paid that’s for sure.

Kia

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Breakfast was good and the staff were great, but it struggled to make up for the uncomfortable room. The ‘annex’ to the hotel is an old run down single front house that is down the street and around the corner, a bit further than we anticipated carrying our luggage. The beds were not particularly comfortable and the heat seemed to trap in the room no matter how long we left the windows open. Definitely dated for the price.

Lovely Hotel

Great hotel with excellent location to the city of Oxford. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the beds comfortable. We stayed in the annexe with a shared bathroom but this was absolutely fine. I loved sitting in the garden area and the whole hotel had a nice homely feel to it. The continental breakfast is included in the room price but for a little extra you can order hot food. This always came really promptly and was freshly cooked. I will definitely stay here again when I next visit Oxford. My kids loved it too.

Not a true 3-star—barely a 2. No soap, noisy despite odd window panels, and “free” breakfast came with a charge. Staff were kind, and location *might* be great… once the roadworks end in August 2026.

Cute hotel near train station

Cute hotel that has a BnB vibe, very close to train station. It was a hot weekend and the staff there went out of their way to provide a fan for the room. Breakfast was great and the garden spaces is quaint. Very convenient to Oxford city center and university area. Bathrooms were shared but there was a WC and shower on each floor shared between 3 rooms.

Cheap hotel I wont stay again

I had a second floor room without en suite up a tight staircase in a separate annexe away from main hotel It was a very poor standard that should be reflected more in price paid - breakfast rudimentary and charged extra for cooked. This should be made clear on your site.

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The standard of housekeeping and cleanliness of the room was exceptional. All staff were professional, polite and efficient. The breakfast buffet provided a good selection of healthy foods. I would definitely recommend others to stay at the hotel and would book again if visiting Oxford in the future.

This quaint hotel was a delight. Easy access to the station and local buses. The included breakfast was filling but there is a menu offering a “larger breakfast “ at reasonable pricing. Current railway works did not impact our sleeping. The stairs are very narrow so anyone with mobility issues would find it difficult. The owner an absolute delight and informative on what to do and where to visit. We would book again.
