Stayed in a twin room that was very convenient for myslef and a friend. Comfortable and very closeby to the city centre. Only slight annoyance was when we arrived the room hadn't been cleaned from people before, spoke to the cleaner and said she'll clean next, even though we had arrived much after the arrival time. Overall once cleaned there were no complaints. Lovely staff!

The biggest issue with this hotel is the works hoing on for the station renovation. On the Friday night we had unscheduled road resurfacing right outdide until midnight One thing i never like in a hotel is hidden extras, having searched for a hotel with car parking, i dont see it as acceptable that this is in a neighbouring hotel and costs 12 pounds day. People running the hotel are nice and friendly.

Very good, well-located, inexpensive hotel
In terms of location and price, this was an excellent hotel. They have been open about being affected by noise from recent building works, but when I stayed (across a weekend in June 2024), I got excellent and quiet nights even with the window open (it was hot). Yes, some of the overall decor is dated and even a bit scruffy, but this is part of the budget package. Fancier hotels in Oxford are very expensive, and many travellers don't want to pay for that. The room itself was actually pretty modern, and perfectly pleasant. In terms of other negatives I've seen pop up in reviews: room was clean, staff were friendly, and wi-fi was fast and reliable. I had the free continental breakfast two mornings, and it was nice (especially when sat out in the garden) and I paid extra one morning for the cooked breakfast which was tasty, and preferable to cooked items sitting on a hot-plate. Overall, I'd definitely consider staying here again.

Quaint stay, friendly staff, family run business. There is construction outside but did not hear it at all at night. The rooms are around the corner from the main office, very close to train station. We stayed on the bottom floor and there was one bathroom to share with one other room stay. The bathroom was newly renovated with a very nice shower. The rooms themselves were a bit outdated, single beds, with a sink, and a window that opens to a cute overgrown garden. I was expecting a busier hostel style stay, but it was nice, relaxed, and felt authentic to Oxford. I did not have their breakfast at the main office but it looked really good and inexpensive. The only thing was walls are a little thin and doors need to be oiled. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Stayed for 5 days. Very small room and did not have one regular warm shower once. It’s a temperature and water pressure issue. No shampoo unless you ask for it. Big construction site right outside hotel. They provide a big styrofoam board to jam into the window frame to block out the noise. They suggested that if I am at a conference I should have breakfast there as they are short on staff.

Not good
Staff friendly. Bed sheets changed every day. They are the only positives I’m afraid. Needs double glazing. The train station is being renovated. They working on it 24/7 the noise was awful. Had to pay £12 per day parking at their other hotel opposite. Only continental breakfast included had to pay £4.50 extra for small cooked breakfast. No cooked breakfast on Easter Sunday as no chef. Very very dated room. Bathroom was okay but very cold the radiator wasn’t working. Thick dust everywhere. Bed very low and not very comfortable. Was told WiFi anvai but we couldn’t get it in our room. Extremely over priced for what it is.

Its an old building and could do with a freshen up with a lick of paint, and perhaps some new sanitary fittings, however this did not impact on our stay. The room and bedding was clean, comfortable and warm. Plenty of hot water. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful and the staff were all lovely. Brilliant location for getting into town and safe parking. This cost extra but was good value. The ongoing roadworks are not the fault of the hotel and they did all they can to minimize the noise. We slept well and was not impacted by these works.

I remember struggling to get a stable WiFi connection, even though the notice on door of my room gave the impression that it was a secure connection. The other problem I had was that the power outlet for the kettle didn’t work. This concerned me as I had brought decaf coffee with me and intended to save money & time at the football match I had come to see by taking my own travel mug of hot coffee with me. The person on duty was very helpful to be fair and made the coffee for me downstairs, which I much appreciated. I would humbly suggest that this electrical issue is resolved before the room is let again. Cooked breakfast was very nice and a lot cheaper than I expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. I rarely stay in Oxford overnight, so I don’t know if my Wi-Fi issue is commonplace throughout the city.
