Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The location is amazing but thats where it ends. It could be fantastic with some imagination and investment but to have to use a bathroom on another floor just isn't viable in this day and age. The decor was tired and the whole thing felt unloved.

Excellent communication & check in. Lovely warm spacious room, ensuite shower room/toilet with shower gel. Very comfortable bed and space to sit in front of TV. Smart TV, kettle & tea/coffee/hot chocolate provided (+milk& sugar). Lovely quiet street, very peaceful amongst the old buildings and looking across to one of the college gardens. Lots of interesting places to walk to within 5 minutes, colleges, museums and also many lovely restaurants and cafes nearby. I didn't have time to walk to the river but that looks lovely & there are boat trips.

Great location, and really helpful and flexible staff. They arranged an early check in for us as we were going to a wedding, at no extra cost.

Disliked: Staff & service
The room itself was clean and cosy, quite small but good for a solo traveller. The bed was comfortable, and the hushed noise of the street outside was sooting. There was no one on reception for the duration of my stay. I was stuck outside in the rain for 5 minutes trying to get in. I rang the number on the window and was given the key-code for the lock box to let myself in, and check in myself. Other guests had this problem. No toilet or bathroom in the room was a real annoyance as the toilet was far away from where I was. No clue where the bathroom was, as there were no signs or receptionist to guide you.

Location wise it’s very good, just few minutes walk from the tourist attractions. The room is okay, not thoroughly cleaned and there’s a leak on the wall coming from upstairs.

Room not cleaned well - there were used contact lenses dried up on the bedside table. Shared bathroom shared across two floors, more of a hostel feel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Quiet, cozy, comfortable, clean room. Very Oxford vibe, old construction. Incredible location in heart of city center but on a quiet street so you really feel tucked away inside. Service was great, and responsive. There is not a permanent attendant like at most hotels, it was quite old tech with a lockbox and just the key sitting in a bowl in the reception area. I would stay again for sure.

It’s a 400 yr old building so can’t live up to modern day conveniences/expectations. However, great character overall and well located. Would benefit from some detailed cleaning and overall updating without losing its historical charm.
