The outside look of this hotel contrasts markedly with the very clean and cosy accommodation and exceptionally friendly staff at reception and in the Breakfast Room. The breakfast food is tasty,clean and served hot. There is no on site parking or lift with all rooms on either the first or second floor. The central location makes access to all Oxford's... More

Approaching the hotel on our two block walk from the Oxford train station, the hotel appeared dreary and none too enticing. That all changed once inside when greeted by the cheerful desk staff in a bright, modern front desk area. We were shown to our room on the second floor, three flights up (no lift), a fairly spacious corner room... More

Straight and to the point, this is a series of bedrooms with a place for breakfast for those so inclined. Nice to have fresh fruit in the room. Furnishing is fine as are all the bits and bobs. It is no a nonsense place which ticks the boxes if you are looking for a place between the station and the... More

The hotel had a very traditional feel to it although it has gone through some changes since I worked there in 1975 having lost it's large front bar to a restaurant. The rooms were clean, spacious, and freshly decorated, the mattresses deep and comfortable. Water and a bowl of fruit was included in addition to tea/coffee/hot chocolate and biscuits. It... More

Quite a decent place to stay if you're visiting Oxford for a weekend. Very close to the train station and only a 7 min walk from the high street. Great value for money. The ladies at the reception were very nice and helpful. The room was quite comfortable and clean. The heating could have been a bit better though as... More

We needed a hotel near Oxford station for an overnight stay and, although there were several B&Bs nearby which were cheaper, we thought we'd pay a bit more as the reviews were good. We arrived late at night, and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was immaculate and, although not huge, was big enough for two of... More

For a three star we thought this Hotel fared better than most. In a fairly central location near the station about 5 mins walk to the centre. We were greeted very politely and taken to our rooms( which i have to say are sizable and comfortable.) The bathroom is probably the biggest i have seen in a hotel of this... More

That is how I would describe this hotel. It is not fancy, it is not overtly elegant, but it comfortable and you can feel at home here. As others have said, the people here are really terrific, and will help you do anything they can help with in their abilities. That included taking your luggage up and down two or... More

This is a good 3 star hotel. I was traveling with my 15 year old daughter. We had a twin room. The beds were comfy, the room was small in that it was challenging with 2 suitcases.

Friendly staff and clean rooms made the stay enjoyable, located near the railway station and Gloucester Green bus central. Quite small room but a comfortable bed and good air condition, bath room was a bit outdated but clean.
