Great price and great location! Very responsive & friendly staff at the caffe. Room service was good except that some of the equipment in the room (e.g., soap dispensers and lights) should be checked regularly. Soap dispensers in our room were all faulty. Note to future guests with disabilities: There are no lift to help carry heavy luggage to the upper floors. Everything must be hauled up via the stairway. That wasn't a problem for us but perhaps to others who might ask the staff for help (They'll do it with a smile)

While not brand new, I think this was my favorite hotel of the whole stay in the UK. It was close to the hub of Oxford, but on a side street that was nice and quiet. The room was spacious, and there was air conditioning, a fridge, and a tub. Couldn't have asked for better during our stay in Oxford!

We had to change rooms because the lights wouldn't turn off in our first room. Upon moving to another room, the staff had to unscrew a few bulbs to make things work...shower was good & beds were comfortable Staff was very helpful and polite. Breakfast was nice...overall a good stay except for the light switch issues

Cheap furnishings, tired fittings, rusty bathroom, dirty skirting boards, cobwebs in the eaves, dusty bedside table. Honestly, for the money, just awful. Management needs a rocket. I have never written a review before on anything, anywhere, I’m afraid Ethos needs to be called out. Standards and investment just not to be seen.

Breakfast was excellent, good quality, and plenty of it. The room was clean but tired looking could do with general refurbishment, kitchenette tap felt like it could fall off. Plumbing was temperamental when we arrived but seemed to be fixed the next day. Make sure you pre book parking, we didn't, luckily they could accommodate us.

Breakfast was good. Parking was 30 pounds to park on the sidewalk. They gave 20 back in a restaurant/bar credit. Shower clauking was moldy, shower leaked all over the floor. Bed was ok. King size. The pictures on expedia were for sure misleading. This place was in a neighborhood that you could barely drive a car down the street. The main building where rhe restaurant was had an odd odor. I wouldnt stay there again.

The property offers good value. It’s a reasonable price and a 12 minute walk to the City center. The in room amenities were okay. The staff were helpful. We had an issue with hot water which was promptly. The Ethos cafe is handy but the food options including breakfast is only average What I didn’t like: the property should disclose prominently that accessibility may be an issue as there were many steps both to check in and to our room.
