Nice location by the river. It was great to spend a relaxing afternoon on a bench outside after a busy day walking around in Qxford. The property was clean and offered a good breakfast in the morning.
The room was on the top floor which was a bit of a challenge with big suitcases, but we knew that so it didn't come as a surprise.

6.0
Location convenient for the city centre
There was no ventilation in our room and the window didn't open so the room became over warm and stuffy through the night.
9.0
Fantastic location close to train station between the Thames and canal, on the edge of central Oxford; very walkable to all things Oxford University, Facilities older (like much of Oxford) not luxurious but extremely sensible - everything you need from light switches to door handles is exactly where you’d most like it to be. Surprisingly quiet for location
Literally nothing I’d change. Definitely would stay again if opportunity brings me back to town

Parking and breakfast was included in the price, close enough to the center of oxford.
Room small and needed a deep clean and air conditioning. For how many employees I saw during my stay everything seemed unorganized.

Great location, central in Oxford. Quiet backyard overlooking the river, parking lot also easily accessible. Friendly and helpful staff. We would come back again ..
nothing really - all good. We will come back again. The "self-service" evening service was helpful, too.

shower did not get very warm

10 min walking distance from/to the bus station.
Breakfasts were freshly cooked plus small buffet to top up your full Engilish experience. Very tasty and satisfying. 15 min walk to the High Street where all the colleges are located. Nice Asian restaurant just at the other side of the street-very convenient when you arrive after a long trip. River just behind the hotel.
Attic room was hot and noisy at night ( street noise).
External bathroom, although private and very clean, was a minus. The hotel is in the old house and rooms are old fashioned. It all feels a bit like a granny’s place
7.0
Breakfast is marvellous: good service, excellent food, nice room. We liked also the garden very much. Because of the heat we could also take a swim from there in the quiet river Thames.
Some rooms are on the side of the street so it can be a little bit noisy.
9.0
Perfect location and very cozy room. In our room there was a portable fan, we use it as it was a bit hot.
Breakfast is traditional English, for the vegetarian options we were offered vegetarian sausage, eggs, toasts. They also had buffet with flakes, yogurt, fruits, jams etc.
everything was good

Bed was uncomfortable otherwise hotel was fine
7.0
Ideal location for theatre and shops.
Had a warm welcome and breakfast was tasty and plentiful.
No disabled entrance which was tricky with a wheelchair. The front entrance had steep steps and the rear entrance was up a short flight of fire escape steps.
One room had a very noisy bathroom door to open and shut
