Guest Ratings & Reviews
I stayed at this hotel located in the city center of Oxford, close to the train station. It was convenient but had some drawbacks. The shared bathroom was a bit inconvenient, but the easily flushable toilet was a plus. There were some minor chips out of the bath, which was a downside. The lack of drawers in the room made storage a bit challenging, but overall it was a decent stay.
Having a twin bed room with an easily flushable loo and a private bathroom, I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. The chips out of the bath were a downside, but the room was generally comfortable. The service was a bit shaky initially when they couldn't find my reservation, though they were attentive during my stay. The location was convenient near the railway station, but having chips out of the bath was not ideal. The dining options were decent, especially with the Easter treats, but could be better. I enjoyed the facilities provided, with some unexpected Easter treats as a nice touch.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the shared bathroom had some chips out of the bath. The service was excellent, though they initially couldn't find my reservation. The location was convenient, being close to the train and bus station. The dining experience was enjoyable with included Easter treats. Overall, a decent value for money.
This hotel is a mixed bag - while the rooms are clean and comfy, the service left something to be desired. The location is pretty convenient, with easy access to the city center, but the dining experience fell short. The facilities were decent, but nothing exceptional.
The hotel's location is ideal, close to the railway station and with convenient access to transportation. The rooms are well-equipped with a private bathroom and easy-to-use facilities; however, some minor maintenance issues were noticed in the bathroom. The service, although initially faced challenges with my reservation, was overall good and the welcome drink was a nice touch. Dining options, including Easter treats, were appreciated at 9 pm. The hotel offers a range of amenities and facilities to enhance the stay.
