The hotel was quiet in spite of being on the main road, clean and tidy with all the basics needed, parking to the rear, buses passing the door, ideal for visiting Oxford City.

The prize for one night was a little cheaper than the other hotels in Oxford. The room was functional, warm and quiet, but nothing special. The bathroom was clean and the... More
