There are many flights of stairs up to the check in desk with no option of an elevator, so you needed to drag your luggage up and down yourself. Then another flight of steps to your room. I was a little terrified of what would happen if there was an emergency as far as getting out of there. Staff was delightful.

Central Oxford, great value
The ebtrance, stairs, and reception area look a but tired but the room exceeded expectations. Quiet, very clean, and comfortable bed. Shower a little cramped, but plenty of hot water and nice and clean. Brilliant situation in centre of Oxford, close to station, and I would say excellent value for money. Staff really nice. Definitely would stay again.

Good value for sure. Great location in the center of Oxford with shopping, eating & colleges all around you. The staff were all great, so very friendly & helpful. The hotel is probably 2.5 star by US standards. Bed & bedding were very comfortable, towels were fluffy & the heated towel bar was great! No elevator & the lobby is up a floor so be aware! The staff will help with bags. Rooms facing street are noisy at night kids coming home from the bars late!! Despite that due to the location & value I would stay here again

Hotel really old but nice location, close to Gloucester Square bus station Heathrow buses. Lobby is on second floor with a long narrow staircase to climb and no elevator. Difficult to haul luggage. Front door locked maybe because of security reason so waited for a while to be let in. Single person in reception, not too friendly, who may not be present all the time. Rooms are old and small. Booked a triple room but was given a double but an extra folding bed was provided occupying the entire remaining free floor space in the room. Room so tight that wardrobe doors could not fully open. Clean bedding and linens but the cleanliness of the rest of the room can be improved. But the price of the room not high and the only reason to stay there is the central location and the close walk from the property to the bus or train station.

Excellent location, I work in the hospitality industry and the property is in good shape just minor details, toilet roll holder falling off, different screws used in the fixtures in the bathroom. Overall a great place for the price.

The only good thing the property has is the location. I don’t know how the hotel manages to get a 4 star. A 3 star hotel is a more accurate rating. The air conditioner did not work, the carpet was stained, there are no elevators and three sets of stairs. When I asked the receptionist to change my room or move me to a sister hotel, they made it very difficult. They managed to move me for the fist night to a different room which had the filter cleaning function on the air conditioner. Air conditioner was not working in the room either. No effort to accommodate or options except paying a higher price for another room. It is a standard, mediocre service hotel that definetely does not deserve the category of a 4 star.

Right in the middle of Oxford shopping and dining, it is a vibrant and convenient. It is simple but comfortable and the shower has great pressure and I thought my stress was washed away with it. Clean and reasonable.
