Fantastic location! The rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean, modern, and very comfortable. The complimentary bottled water and shortbread biscuits in the room were a lovely touch and much appreciated. It was very hot during our stay, but the two good fans provided made a big difference and helped us sleep comfortably. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Great central location in Oxford, for walking & catching the sights. The accommodation is very lovely historical building, with good size rooms & lovely old bath tub. The staff is very helpful & accommodating. No air conditioning, fans in the room helped & keeping the curtains closed. Highly recommended

The hotel is an older building that has been renovated and updated without losing its original charm. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable though like most Oxford buildings it is not air conditioned. The breakfast is very nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Very well situated in the centre of the city. Welcome at the reception was sincere and friendly upon both checking in and out. Lay out of the building was a tad Higglety Pigglety. With that in mind you have to take in to consideration both age of the building and the fact it’s been repurposed from originally possibly being a house/s rather than a hotel. Room was dark with only one spot light fixture in the ceiling of the room, the bedside lamps didn’t really help spread much light. Bedding was fresh and super clean. Bathroom was also super clean with good quality wash products and clean, fresh towels. Don’t recommend staying if you have mobility issues as there were many stairs and no lift. But otherwise it’s a quaint place to stay, but over priced in my opinion.
