Great place!
This is a great no frills option for staying in Oxford. The front desk staff was helpful, informative, and friendly. It’s just a short walk from the town center and all of the Colleges. And it’s quiet since it’s not in the middle of town. I’d stay there again for sure.

Basic hotel but good value. A short walk into the centre, was not noisy at night. Shower had terrible water pressure, but beds comfortable and staff friendly.

Nice accommodations within walking distance to town (0.7 mile or so). Staff at reception was very helpful. The only thing missing is a fridge in the room.

Convenient but basic.
Bedroom was small but functional, with the basic essentials, but limited hanging space. The ensuite was small and basic. The room was situated on the second floor reached by 3 flights of stairs which was a bit of a mission for us oldies.
The room was clean but it appeared the cleaning was not detailed and the shower cubicle and tea tray were not particularly clean.
We did not try the breakfast, which was only continental and expensive.
The best thing about this property was its easy access to the City centre and the free parking.
