This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in and we’re 79 & 85 years old. Biggest waste of £431.

Liked nothing. Non-existent breakfast which we WERE expecting. Whole hotel looked like a building site from outside.

Only lukewarm water in the mini bathroom. We were told the water temperature was dependent on the external temperature - nonsense! Eventually fixed so could have warm shower. The kettle wouldn’t fit under the tap in wash basin, although kettle small, so had to be filled by putting water in drinking glass and emptying in. Only 4 small milk sachets left on tray and used in one go but no-one on duty in reception to ask for more, and no intercom or phone to contact anyone. Felt very isolated and abandoned. Very tight fit with ridiculously large bed and wardrobe. Could barely open wardrobe door.

Very useful for a 1 night stay.

Very suitable for a one night stay for one person, but for a longer stay with my wife, would cross the road to your other hotel or go elsewhere eg The Mitre. The staff are convivial & helpful; the redecoration light and clean, the bottled water welcome. Location is excellent, in the centre and less than 10 minutes walk from the station,

Unfortunately the redecoration was poorly finished eg paint finish, grouting in the bathroom. The bathroom lacked a shaving mirror and /or a second mirror to reflect the back of the head. On a cold day the room radiator could not be turned on (This was overcome by putting on the towel radiator & leaving the door open, but probably uneconomic). Coffee & tea but no hot chocolate or biscuits and no directions re the TV operation or other facilities.

Ideally situated if you want to be in the centre of town and very clean.

Very clean - vey helpful and welcoming staff. Very well situated in the centre of town just a short distance from many tourist sights.

The corridors (but not the bedroom) of the hotel had a lingering smell of drains. The bathroom radiator was too hot and could not be turned down!

Bad

It is so terrible. It looks so bad and the decoration is very bad. I don't know why it has a star. When I came to the Hotel, there is no waiter at all.

A solid 3 star, oversold as a 4

Good spot in town, clean and simple room

Totally missold as a four star. It's effectively managed rooms and a 3 star, suitable for students or people just needing a place to crash

Disappointing

Location and hotel was good.

Heating in room was too hot,couldn't turn off or down. Heating was noisy all night. Also there was a green ceiling light in room which didn't turn off and due to these had terrible nights sleep.

Disappointing as asked for Identification without warning and no towels in the rooms

Location next to the theatre

I was asked for a photo identification which I had never been asked for in the UK and had not been warned beforehand There were no towels in the room The male receptionist was not professional and didn't seem to know much about what was required.

Nothing but a bed

Room was small but fairly comfortable.

No lift, no parking, no bar, no restaurant. 22 steep steps to reach reception. Fine if you just want a bed and no more. Very disappointing if you actually want a hotel. Air con was present but wheezy and ineffectual.

Good place, good position

The hotel was in a very good position, with a lot of restaurants and close to all historical monuments

The room was very small, we were with our child and there were a lot of stairs and it was uncomfortable with the stroller and the area was restricted to traffic and this was not mentioned by the staff.

Great location but maybe overpriced?

Superb location for city centre. Good sized room. Comfortable bed. Good keycard access for main entrance

Room didn't feel like it matched the price and felt dated. Shower not the best. No milk for tea (not really an issue, but found out too late to do anything about it!)

Substituted

Had only booked a few days in advance but on arrival it was shut with note on door that booking had been transferred to 'sister hotel'. The replacement hotel was probably similar standard but more dated and did not have any wifi. Not very satisfactory.

Central Oxford, Welcoming Staff

Town centre location. Friendly staff. Easy access with card. About the best you can get in central Oxford unless you can afford the Randolph!

The back stairs! Scary. It’s quite strangely decorated & the windows are original & mouldy & secured shut so no fresh air, otherwise it’s a good place to stay.
