A great place in central Oxford. Very comfy bedding, good wifi, and great location right in the center, a little less than 10 minutes walk from the train station.

Nice clean room in a convenient location. Close to various city noises (I think there was a giant trash compaction nearby) that banged on past midnight and started again around 6am. May also have to contend with noisy students carousing very late (like 2:30am). Key stopped working early despite reassurance it wouldn't (but was fixed quickly). Desk doesn't always have a person but they will show up within 1-2 mins on call. Staff are super-friendly. Overall would consider staying again but be prepared for sleep being disrupted.

All fine with the place in terms of location, cleanliness, facilities and staff courtesy. Minor points: No on site reception a bit annoying necessitating use of intercom and a lengthy wait for someone to attend when needed. TV remote missing from room. Street noise excessive all night long. My first floor front of building room should have had double glazing at least. I checked out after one night.

The beds were comfortable and several thoughtful amenities were included, such as L’Occitaine bath products and a towel warmer. The challenges are the city center location and the age of the building. Parking is only nearby and quite expensive, and you will likely drive through a paid congestion zone. You have until the day after to pay on the council website, then fees increase. The building itself is elderly but the owners have done their best to ‘silk purse’ it. Expect odd corners and dicey plumbing: we had to change rooms because our first shower fully flooded into the bathroom. There is no elevator/lift, only stairs. The stairs are steep and slightly uneven. There is no staff member manning the desk, but they come quickly and are kind and helpful when contacted. The price is fine for the product, and it’s probably a good option if you don’t have a car and want a central location.

I really liked it. Lots of stairs so be aware if you have big bags. But safe, cozy, really comfortable beds and super great location. Yes it is abit old but honestly many big hotel chains charge double -triple and are also old looking so great for the price and it was super clean and tidy.

Room I got was perfectly fine, much better than I expected from the reviews. However, there was no help in lugging the baggage around and climbing the steps with luggage is hard work. I think that this could be greatly improved simply but offering assistance.
