Convenient but basic.

Bedroom was small but functional, with the basic essentials, but limited hanging space. The ensuite was small and basic. The room was situated on the second floor reached by 3 flights of stairs which was a bit of a mission for us oldies. The room was clean but it appeared the cleaning was not detailed and the shower cubicle and tea tray were not particularly clean. We did not try the breakfast, which was only continental and expensive. The best thing about this property was its easy access to the City centre and the free parking.

We really only slept here 2 nights and so can't comment too much other than the room was clean and comfortable. The staff i only spoke to on the phone and via email as we arrived late and left super early both days, were incredibly helpful. I would definitely stay again, thank you for your help!

Stayed 3 nights for 2025 British GP. Can pick up a bus 1 block away, but only 15 min walk to downtown Oxford, where you can catch bus routes to Oxforad parkway Park & Ride, or pretty much any other bus route available. Clean, nice and helpful staff. Not luxury, but just nice overall. Has private parking lot in back, but may be full if you show up later in the eveing so beware as parking overall in Oxford is awful.

Great place!

This is a great no frills option for staying in Oxford. The front desk staff was helpful, informative, and friendly. It’s just a short walk from the town center and all of the Colleges. And it’s quiet since it’s not in the middle of town. I’d stay there again for sure.

It was a very good stay for such a reasonable price! The bathroom was very much up-to-date and clean, bed was warm and comfy and the blankets are soft. It is an old building so the noise can be easily heard from other rooms. There was some guest above us that was very loud and noisy during 2am to early 6am so i wasn’t able to sleep as sound. But overall it is a great place to stay, just depends on whoever is above you

This was just what we were looking for in our visit to Oxford. Easy parking, close enough to walk into town and visit several of the Colleges. The staff was great, stayed up late to get us checked in. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

A convenient and comfortable option

The bedroom and shower room were comfortable and clean. The carpet looked new; the mattress was just right, the room temperature too. The blackout curtains were helpful to sleep in the morning and I didn't find the road too noisy. The instructions for wifi, drinking water, checkout etc were clear.
