Yes it's a good hotel clean, but zero parking you will have to park in the shopping centre at 30 pounds per night

This place is unbeatably central, and as quiet as you could reasonably expect given the location. It's clean, well run, and well priced. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we were able to leave our luggage with them on the day of checkout so we could make the most of the day.

Had a lovely stay here. The room was very modern, and the blackout blinds were an added bonus. The only downside was our WiFi didnt work in the room.

Booking Oxford

Jun 12, 2019 Report

Booked a room for two nights for 178/ night. The hotel has no proper entrance and is hid above a betting shop. We couldn't open the front door with the code (sent by the hotel in advance). There is no hotel personnel, who could welcome us and open the locked door. When calling the helpline, we were told that it is a self-serviced hotel (no prior notice was given). The lady couldn't help us open the front door and promised us to send us a new code by text message. No message was sent. Furthermore, we were told that no refund of the money could be given. (Booking Reference no. 29802).

Not in the habit of leaving bad reviews - but honesty prevails and I feel the need to make people who are considering staying fully aware of a massive potential problem that the hotel is aware of - but won't tell you at the time of your booking -
yes the hotel is in a great location - it's convenient and all that , however there is a 24 hour minicab service that operates underneath some of the bedroom windows - so at 2.30am if you're trying to sleep - FORGET IT ! - the noise levels were overwhelming , shouting - car doors slamming , engines revving - cars being cleaned and vacuumed ( seriously
