We would echo the comments of other reviewers. The hotel is expensive but well worth the price. The friendliness of the staff is superb, and the rooms extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the art on display--the equivalent of a small gallery. Do try Quod restaurant: food from farm to table--and delicious! More

My husband and I stayed for one night on a B&B basis. On arrival at 11.00am we asked if we could leave the car in the car park and come back later to check in and we were told our room was ready. We were also told we had a room upgrade. What a treat! The room was at the... More

From our initial greeting to service at dinner and breakfast, our stay was just excellent and I do not say that lightly. The rooms are well appointed. The staff cannot do enough for you and cheerfully too. We will be back. You must grab the free bikes for a ride around Oxford as its easier than walking and way more... More

This is an expensive hotel (£248 B&B) which can only justify the price by its location, in the centre of Oxford. After receiving a number of emails confirming our booking, welcoming us, giving directions to find the hotel and so on, our expectations were high. First impressions at Reception were excellent. However, it all went pear shaped from there: i)... More

Thanks very much for your review I'm so sorry you had some issues with your stay. My young staff member did not act appropriately and his choice of words were a little misdirected. I would usually expect an alternative to be offered if there is a problem with any particular service. My apologies the service was not up to scratch.... More

We had just an overnight stay and the hotel was excellent from the word go. Great to have a free car park; all of the staff were so friendly and helpful; our room was a delight and very quiet being situated at the back of the hotel overlooking the car park and the colleges beyond. Really comfortable with a lovely... More

This charming hotel is extremely well situated for visitors to Oxford. Within a few minutes walk to all the attractive spots in Oxford (and there are many), its location in the middle of High Street cannot be beat. The hotel itself is not very large, with a small central hall. Service is friendly and excellent. The rooms differ in size... More

Thanks for your review I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. The rooms at the front of the hotel tend to have better views and are generally slightly larger than the rear facing quieter rooms. If you have a specific preference please let us know and we will endeavour to meet your requirements. Ben Truesdale More

Lovely hotel perfectly situated for a bout of shopping or sightseeing in the picturesque town of Oxford. As a last minute reservation we were pleasantly surprised that the concierge managed to find us a restaurant reservation at their sister hotel on a Saturday evening. The room was well appointed, with lovely REN products, spacious with a well stocked mini bar.... More
