Free breakfast was adequate for a few days but got too routine for our 5 day stay. Water pressure for our 3rd floor room was unacceptable as well as water temperature. Shampoo disappeared every other day. All of the staff were exceedingly nice.

Kia

Liked: Staff & service
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.

Nice place with a great staff!

Hotel itself was as expected: nice, cozy and tradional. Absolutely fabulous was the staff: professional, efficient and at the same time warm and caring of their guests and their needs. Elderly people were treated well. I recommend to be in contact with this hotel in advance, because there are many different kind of rooms available for variable preferences.

Very good, clean, well-located property for an affordable stay in Oxford. Management was very kind and helpful. Staff was very kind and professional. Road construction is a bit of a noisy inconvenience but of course none of hotel's fault--situation is supposed to be better soon.

Although there was road works, the place was easy to access. No lift in Annex which was tough with 6 bags on top floor. Will the manager was outstanding. I would go back given his hospitality and guest service. Seemed a happy place where staff were chatty and happy.

We stayed in a seperate part of the main hotel with a shared bathroom. Room was adequate and clean, no complaints at all. We paid for a cooked breakfast which was both hot and tasty and worth the money. Should I go to Oxford again I would definitely re-visit.
