Arrived early for the parking, found out the room was already prepared. We were given access to the very nice room, and the staff was great. Good walking distance from the city center, as well as distanced enough to access easily with a car.

Room was nice, clean and felt very lovely. Personal was friendly and helpful. Big plus it wasn't that far from Oxford, only a 10 min walk.
The biggest complained I had was the beds mattress was too stiff and hard for my own liking, so I woke up with sour back each night.

Simple, clean room. The radiator was off and it got quite cold before I realised it and turned it on. There was a smell of cat in the reception while I was there for a couple of days.

Great place!
This is a great no frills option for staying in Oxford. The front desk staff was helpful, informative, and friendly. It’s just a short walk from the town center and all of the Colleges. And it’s quiet since it’s not in the middle of town. I’d stay there again for sure.

This was just what we were looking for in our visit to Oxford. Easy parking, close enough to walk into town and visit several of the Colleges. The staff was great, stayed up late to get us checked in. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
