Had a great couple of nights here. The location is perfect for the train station and getting into Oxford for looking around and shopping. But the highlight is the staff, who are friendly and extremely helpful. Thanks for making a great stay even better!

Hotel was satisfactory and clean, staff pleasant and helpful, free continental breakfast and cooked breakfast available for a fee. Main drawback was the noisy roadworks near the hotel that went a on all day

Friendly hotel

Easy check in, friendly owners. Ideally placed close, to train station and walking into Oxford. Bedroom compact but had everything we needed hairdryer on request. It was very clean and the bed was comfy. Continental breakfast and option to upgrade to cooked breakfast. Work going on outside but did not hamper our stay. Would return.

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The standard of housekeeping and cleanliness of the room was exceptional. All staff were professional, polite and efficient. The breakfast buffet provided a good selection of healthy foods. I would definitely recommend others to stay at the hotel and would book again if visiting Oxford in the future.

Cute hotel near train station

Cute hotel that has a BnB vibe, very close to train station. It was a hot weekend and the staff there went out of their way to provide a fan for the room. Breakfast was great and the garden spaces is quaint. Very convenient to Oxford city center and university area. Bathrooms were shared but there was a WC and shower on each floor shared between 3 rooms.

Lovely Hotel

Great hotel with excellent location to the city of Oxford. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the beds comfortable. We stayed in the annexe with a shared bathroom but this was absolutely fine. I loved sitting in the garden area and the whole hotel had a nice homely feel to it. The continental breakfast is included in the room price but for a little extra you can order hot food. This always came really promptly and was freshly cooked. I will definitely stay here again when I next visit Oxford. My kids loved it too.

Free breakfast was adequate for a few days but got too routine for our 5 day stay. Water pressure for our 3rd floor room was unacceptable as well as water temperature. Shampoo disappeared every other day. All of the staff were exceedingly nice.

6/10 Good

Not a true 3-star—barely a 2. No soap, noisy despite odd window panels, and “free” breakfast came with a charge. Staff were kind, and location *might* be great… once the roadworks end in August 2026.
Lovely breakfast location

10/10 Exceptional

This quaint hotel was a delight. Easy access to the station and local buses. The included breakfast was filling but there is a menu offering a “larger breakfast “ at reasonable pricing. Current railway works did not impact our sleeping. The stairs are very narrow so anyone with mobility issues would find it difficult. The owner an absolute delight and informative on what to do and where to visit. We would book again.

6/10 Good

The hotel is in a perfect location in terms of proximity to the railway station and the city centre. The road development work makes the surrounding area a mess although the hotel garden is away from that and very pretty. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very small with only just enough room to walk around the bed and the furniture was old. The continental buffet breakfast was very good, with a particularly good selection of fruit. It was perfectly adequate for a weekend city break.
