Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers a city view and features tastefully furnished rooms with a balcony overlooking the town. The rooms are like new and cozy, but they turned out to be two single beds pushed together, which may not suit everyone. The staff were very helpful and courteous, especially when assisting with luggage to the coach station. The hotel's central location is perfect for exploring the city, right in the heart of Oxford. The onsite dining options are convenient for guests, with various restaurants nearby. The facilities are well-kept, but there may be a few improvements needed for a top-notch experience.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant one overall. The location was superb, right in the heart of the city and close to all the main sites. The staff was friendly and helpful, but there were a few issues with the room size and noise levels. Dining options were good, and the value for money was decent considering the central location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was fantastic, right in the center of Oxford and close to many attractions, restaurants, and the Ashmolean Museum, the room fell short of expectations being tiny with no window. The service, although friendly, seemed inexperienced in some key areas. The lack of breakfast options was a downside, especially considering the convenient location near the train station and bus terminus.
Although the rooms were ill-ventilated and quite small, my stay was surprisingly quiet. However, maneuvering a wheelchair or mobility scooter was challenging due to limited space. The service was efficient and very friendly, especially after some initial issues. The location was excellent, away from street noise, and surrounded by various attractions. The dining options were lacking, considering the room size and absence of breakfast or parking. Overall, it provided value for money despite the room constraints.
The hotel is perfectly situated near the city center, making it convenient for exploring everything Oxford has to offer. The rooms are cozy and well-kept, though they may be a bit small for some. The staff, while friendly and helpful, may need some improvement in their knowledge about local attractions. The dining options are limited but the location compensates for it. The parking facilities may not meet modern standards, but overall, the hotel provides good value for its prime central location.
The hotel had some advantages like being right in the heart of town and close to everything, but there were also downsides, such as cramped and limited rooms that didn't offer value for money.
