Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Not the most comfortable room, no chair and the beds very firm but the room was clean and in good décor. room has a kettle and a small fridge and met all our needs for the short stay. The inn was very close to the town centre and five minutes to walk. We would stay there again if we return to Oxford shopping.

Nice but way to noisy
The hotel is really well placed, with free parking on site. The room (n°5) on the second floor was spacious, cute and clean. But, the noise during the night was unbearable, we could not sleep for the 2 nights we stayed in. So if you come to Oxford to party that's perfect, but if you want to visit and sleep at night, avoid it.

Terrible mattress
The bed was incredibly uncomfortable, I could feel the metal from the mattress protruding through and only managed to sleep when I slept on half my duvet and wrapped myself in the other half. If there had been two of us this would have been difficult. Never come across such a bad mattress. But the staff were kind and the room was clean.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Location was superb. Parking facilities great. Large flat screen TV which was good. Main grouse was the hot shower. Miserable trickle. Takes a good 30 mins to wash my hair. Temp fluctuates between cold as ice and boiling hot with very little in between. It’s a pub so nothing much of customer service to speak of

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It was very basic, the toilet was full of brown water and the bathroom smelt of sewage initially until we run the tap for a few minutes. The room was basic, the initial welcome/greeting was poor but the breakfast and breakfast staff were excellent. Ideal location for Oxford.
