Terrible service and attitude. The hotel refuses to engage with me. On 23rd November 2019, before anyone had mentioned Covid 19, I made a reservation to stay overnight between 21st and 22nd November 2020. This was a non-refundable advanced booking. In advance of the date I asked what the position would be if I chose to cancel the booking in view of Covid meaning that the event I had booked in the area had been cancelled. I was told the accounts team would get back to me, but they never did, so I phoned, and was told a manager would get back to me, but they did not either. When lockdown 2.0 was

Strange smell at reception. Room was good size and well situated. Noisy in the evening and poorly insulated in that regard. Wouldn't necessarily recommend but price was competitive so wouldn't be against staying again.
L'occitane Toiletries were a nice touch

Great location right in the city and within walking distance from the train station. Jamie's is (was?) right below. Big cons: very oddly shaped rooms and no elevator even though the lobby is on the second floor. Loud at night with bar and street noise from below. Bottled water and cookies each night was a nice touch.

Great location, amazing staff, neat and clean rooms, could NOT ask for more. Every single person I came in contact with was pleasant and eager to assist. There isn't anything that you may need that is not within walking distance. Oxford university, the train, bus, taxi stations supermarket, movie theater restaurants, you name it, you can walk to it! I will certainly book again!

The hotel is alright, the bathroom was a bit smelly, pipe smell. My room has a large window with no view, frosted glass, but good light. Anyways, if you are going to be in Oxford and in that hotel probably you will be out all day so is fine. The location is good, there are all sort of restaurants, groceries, shops and is very close to the train station, about 10 minutes easy walk. They are very long stairs to get to reception and another set of stairs to go to your room, take it on consideration if you have heavy bags or knee problems. The receptionist was charming and very helpful. For one night
