Great location, very close to Oxford Train station and Bus station. Oxford campuses/colleges are also walking distance away from the hotel. Perfect for travelers affiliated to Oxford colleges.

The Good Nice hotel next to the rail station, so very conveniently located. It is an easy walk into the city center, and Oxford is pretty small so everything is very close by. Our room was in the annex with a shared bathroom. This turned out to be a bonus because outside of the main hotel building there is major construction! Evidently it's been going on for 3 years according to the locals we talked to. The shared bathroom was just outside of our room and was separated from the rest of the rooms on the floor so it really felt like our own. There is a sink in the bedroom, so you can brush your teeth in the comfort of your own space. The staff are super nice and helpful with recommendations and accommodating needs. They let us use their kitchen refrigerator to store some food we bought at the nearby Sainsbury Local. The Caveats Due to the ongoing construction, traffic is diverted and it seems the buses run along the street next to the annex. It can be kind of noisy until the wee hours when the buses stop running. Construction vehicles start up first thing in the morning, and travel on the street in front of the annex so just be aware.

We booked the hotel for seven nights. Upon arrival will the manager took us to the room that he assigned to us that was not in the building where we checked in but an outhouse. The house looked tumble down and he walked us up about 50 winding narrow stairs to what looked like an attic or a crows nest. The room had two single beds and had only room for the beds and had a small window in between with a ram shackle, drape and no air-conditioning. It was horrendous! I told him that we were not going to stay there. I have never seen anything that terrible. When I booked, the pictures provided were beautiful. Breakfast was included and was only yogurt and some muffins, and if you wanted a real breakfast, you had to pay for it. Construction and barricades are completely surrounding the hotel, and there was no mention of that either needless to say. The housekeeping was wonderful and the bathroom and room was very clean except for it the dirty carpets. The staff was very kind and helpful except for Will who gave us the worst possible room, even though there was no one else in the hotel! It was in a great location, but I would not stay at this place! Terrible!

Here’s a clearer, polished version of your review while keeping your original points and tone: We stayed for one night in this “cheap and cheerful” hotel. We had a twin room with an ensuite, which was clean, but some features felt very dated, especially the wardrobe and carpet. The beds were comfortable, though. Unfortunately, we found it quite noisy. It wasn’t just the building work outside you could hear people walking past due to creaky floorboards, and the noise from the room above sounded like a herd of elephants, even with earplugs in. Breakfast was included, but we were told at check-in that it was only a continental breakfast, not a cooked one. That said, it was decent for what it was. The staff were very helpful and friendly, which was a definite plus. Overall, the building feels quite dated, but the location is excellent very close to the town centre and the new theatre, all within walking distance. There’s also a car park just a minute away, costing £12.50 per day.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but unfortunately my experience here was extremely disappointing. The condition of the property fell far below what I would expect from a hotel, and it raised serious concerns about cleanliness and safety. Even at a significantly lower price, I would not consider this good value for money. I’m genuinely surprised that the current standards are considered acceptable, as the overall environment felt more like a health risk than a place to stay. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes substantial improvements, as the property has a lot of potential if properly addressed.

Booking in is not the time to find out that the breakfast you paid for is only cereal and fruit - anything else is additional. Then find out that the room is overlooking a building site with 24 hour working. First night ok as constant rain, but second night spent awake listening to diggers reversing. Tiny room, hot with no way to ventilate. I could go on. Will be complaining
