Room fairly represented photos on line. Bed comfortable. Decor good. Bathroom adequate but cold and without heat. Heating in bedroom an electric radiator set at 35'c but struggled to cope, very hot to touch. Let down by very seedy common parts \ entrance and smell. Adjacent club bar under very noisy \ boisterous. Choosing ones own room code and inputting to the operators mobile was disconcerting. Loft access meant room insecure. Clearly the operator is trying hard to achieve decent standards over time. Currently not a star worthy premises.

this hotel is a bit rundown to say the least. its perfect for location, and for our needs of a night at the theatre next door, ideal. i would not stay there any longer, the place is a generous 3 star!!

A grimy old little hotel - some of it is to do with the building and property, but lots is just to do with not-caring: they could clean it better and spruce it up easily - but they don’t bother. The rooms are also accessed with a code (not a key) which seems like it is never changed. The reception says it is open all day but it took 15 minutes of phoning and buzzing to get into the property.

Comfy bed, well situated for the bus station and bus stops. walking into town 10 minutes only. On street parking seemed to be permit only! go to Redbridge park and ride and leave your car there. the bus stops outside!. take earplugs because the music plays till 1.00am ish Hotel could do with refurbishing but for one or 2 nights amd at the price it was worth it

The place was dirty, there was paint peeling off the walls damp patches, wholes in the walls, rips in the carpet, plastic covering a window, no hot water from the tap so had to shave with cold water. No plug in the sink, screw showing through shower door, shower floor uneven. No reception on the television. Plug sockets and electrical wiring looked passed it’s bed. Very Noisy

Moldy smelly rooms. Stained carpets. Rotted window frames

You cannot be at the location. It is close to everything. Situated literally next to the bus station, it has a wide range of amenities nearby. It is just a few minutes walk to all of the major attractions in Oxford. The staff is very kind and friendly, even if they don’t know a lot about running hotels and making beds. They are extremely responsive to any needs. Try to not think of this as much as a hotel as a really comfortable and quiet hostel. Try and get a room on the top floor if possible, as the nine nights, we spent there, almost every night above us was a reenactment of Riverdance, including sometimes people Cooking and bringing in a lot of very stinky food. That is against the rules, however. Although it is right above a bar, it is not very loud, except on Friday, and the music turns off at 1 AM. This was not a problem for us, as we were exhausted from travel. Some of the rooms have en suite bathrooms, and those are nice. Some have shared bathrooms. Be sure that you know what do you want. While this is an expensive hotel, it is much cheaper than the other hotels in the area. Be sure that you can walk up four or so flights of stairs to get to any of the rooms. If so, it is a place to stay.

It was so dirty, noisy and generally disgusting that I left in the middle of the night and sat on the train station until the first train came.

Fan blew out dust, mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, stains on all carpets throughout the building. It smelled of sewage as soon as you walked into the building and in the reception area. The window ledge was chipped and unclean. All walls were marked and chipped too. Claims on street parking and there is none. Definitely not worth the price.

Absolutely grubby hotel , do not go . Bathrooms on both our rooms had significant amounts of mould on the walls and ceiling . No lampshades on the ceiling lights - only exposed bulbs hanging from the ceiling , again in both rooms. Paint peeling off the wall in the bathroom. Toilet seats didn’t fit the toilets . The hot water tap only ran cold water . The shower kept changing from hot to cold. In our room the wardrobe has no back or top on it . Both rooms had an arm chair with dubious stains on them. We had to move the kettle and put it on the floor to plug it in to an extension cable . We had enough coffe for 2 cups of coffee even though we had booked 2 nights for 3 people in one of the rooms . There was an inch gap under the room door . One of the rooms , the main bedroom door , which is a fire door , the specific returner device had obviously been broken just leaving the arm and the device had not been replaced - this is a fire risk. The walls in the rooms and all the way down the stairs has dirt marks all over them . The hall and stairs carpets were filthy with large stains and ground on dirt . The door numbers on some of the rooms were written on the doors with a sharpie ! We saw one guy once when we checked in on the reception desk . He gave us the codes to the door and then we never saw anyone again to try and address the issues . The noise and music from the bar below can be heard very clearly in the rooms until about 1am.

There were no elevators so had to carry up large suitcases, and also no bathrooms in your room. Had to go down a floor to get to them and it was disgusting in the morning. Completely unclean.

Aweful hotel. Pictures are very misleading. The room is Super tiny with no place to put your suitcase. The walls a very thin so you can hear everything including the doir shutting.

This is not a hotel, The only aspect that was in it's favour was it's location. The room was dirty and the bathroom had mould on the ceiling. It's a multi-occupany type establishment rather than a hotel. We could have stayed at a hostel and had a more enjoyable experience. No dining , concierge non -existant- Unsafe area at night.

Room was big and the location was central.

Disappointed with this hotel as the room was classed as Deluxe, but in reality it is a bit dismal, smells of cigarette smoke, filthy windows, but no view anyway. The TV when switched on was smashed, and luckily the guy on reception was able to replace this. Bed was comfy. Due to being located above a late night bar. The place was noisy with music thudding away. But due to the city being very busy, most hotels were well over my budget, so needs must

Property is sorely in need of an update. We stayed here 7 years ago and it appeared that nothing had been updated since then or even maintained adequately. Stairway carpet was dirty; probably the room carpet as well--coloring of carpet made it difficult to tell. Bathroom had no place to set toiletries; handsoap container was empty.

Good location and great accommodating staff. We were able to leave our luggage and they took it up to the room. Room was pretty good, had everything we needed.

You get what you pay for. Above a bar, so loud, and no lift, so going up two flights or more of stairs with luggage. But in city center, so that adds a lot of value. Staff was basically not there. Again, you get what you pay for.

I stayed here last year for an overnight business trip. It was pretty poor but I thought "it's only one night and it's very conveniently located". I booked it again for the same trip/reason and coincidentally got the same room. I was shocked by how much it had got worse. These are the standout issues I remember: The bannister of the entry stairs was hanging off wall. The room was dirty with stains on walls and furniture. The bathroom stank like dodgy drains or someone had recently done a number 2 before our arrival. The towel rail was hanging off the wall. The bathroom window privacy screen was missing so the building opposite can watch you shower. I will not be booking it again, despite the location.
