Stayed here several times. Very central but quiet. Nice rooms etc. The staff on reception are always very pleasant. Only reason I marked it down was that housekeeping started knocking on doors at 9am. That is far too early given that check out is 11.

We went for a birthday getaway and thought it was great. Handy location, friendly and attentive staff, and comfortable room. The breakfast hamper was lovely, not had that elsewhere and it felt like quite the treat. The room could have done with some minor TLC, but that's being picky. Would go back.

The perfect place to stay in Oxford

This is the perfect place to stay in Oxford - a short walk from the station, central and very welcoming. I had a single room for one night - it was fresh, clean and had all the amenities one would expect including an ironing board - not always found in single rooms. White company soap dispensers - the brand is always a good sign. A very comfortable night indeed.
