Very expensive for what is offered. The room and some parts of the premises are outdated and would need serious refreshing (notably in the annexe where water is leaking through the ceiling in the entrance and where some heaters only work for 2 hours a day). The included breakfast is minimal: only coffee or tea, (overcooked) toasts, some cereals, yogurt and boiled eggs. The service depends on the staff's mood. For instance, the manager refused to help me with my luggages, for she was "busy on her phone".

Fab, friendly and well priced. I arrived early and was offered a cup of tea in the beautifull garden. The staff kept parking spaces for us and gave us restaurant recommendations. The bedrooms were basic but the beds were comfortable and it was only a 10 min walk into town so i wouldnt hesitate in staying again.

The stairs up was a nightmare, to flights steep and narrow. The room was nice and a lovely walk in shower.

Place is near to City Centre, all within walking distance. Even to Westgate Shopping Mall. Just that we got put at their Annexe Building, so breakfast & check in / out is not too convenient. Breakfast staff is really friendly though. Shared/common bathroom at Annexe was horrible. Some other guest made a mess at the toilet, so you can imagine. No shampoo either.

Really close to the city centre, in a very quiet area/street. Nice bedroom where we had space. The bathroom was clean. The breakfast was good though they could offer a wider menu especially for people who don't like salted food in the morning. But lovely staff! I largely recommend it for a nice weekend in Oxford!
