I think this is one of the few times I can say that the photos on a website are 100% accurate. Choosing this hotel was a brilliant decision. The staff is both very friendly and professional. At this point, I can’t help but highlight the bartender, Ionut. Extremely kind and pleasant. The hotel’s modern design, the perfect location for exploring the city, and at the same time its setting like an oasis of nature—for us, this sealed the deal for choosing this hotel, whenever we’re back in Oxford. Thank you for your hospitality. Superb. (A little tip: Go for the breakfast option. The variety and abundance make it a must-try.)
