Great location for visiting Oxford & Blenheim Pala

Absolutely perfect for going to Blenheim Palace for a concert... there was a bus stop very close to the hotel...we parked in the hotel (£6 for 24hrs) and headed off. The buses aldo go into Oxford city centre, so perfect location. Good variety for breakfast, and interior tastefully done. Staff very helpfuland polite. Overall an excellent stay.

Best value hotel in Oxford

From a lovely Indian girl on reception who went out of her way to assist me. Nicest reception staff I’ve experienced in Oxford area and I generally stay in the city centre, Marriot, Malmaison, Premier inn. The hotel overall was much nicer than any of the above. I usually visit about every 6?weejs fir a medical appointment, sometimes 4 weeks. I will be staying 100%
