We had a lovely stay. The staff were incredible helpful with food abd transport recommendations. The decor is fun and the room was clean and comfortable. The weather wasn't great so we didnt use it, but the outside space looked lovely. Parking is a bonus, we parked and got the bus in to town, far cheaper and easier than parking in town! Will definitely return.

A mixed bag due to hotels.com and the hotel itself

When yiu book thorough hotels.com it advertisies as a superior double with king bed, thats not what you get, yiu get a double bed unless you specifically ask for a king despite the description on here. There is only one king in the hotel. You have to pay for parking, no disabled parking discount offered until i asked as its an additional £10per day per car. Lots of cobwebs, only one towel for 2 people in the room until i asked. Helpful they let you check in early is you can. Breakfast only ok, but good if yiu cant be bothered finding anywhere else. Bus stop right outside whichnis handy to get into the city

Cool hotel even if loud at times

This is a gorgeous hotel with plenty of character and a decent location in the North of Oxford, near shops and eateries. As it is a quirky old building, you do hear the footsteps shuffling of your upstairs neighbours, but I would return if ever in town again.
