Great place, great staff, great...

Liked: Good location near the station and right on the river so easy access to those charming riverside footpaths. Friendly staff. Room spotlessly clean with a pleasingly large bathroom. Breakfast was excellent also.
Disliked: We were on the top floor in the heat wave, so it was hot, but not much can be done I think. There was a fan, which brought some relief!

A pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.

Liked: The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Location very conveniently close to the station and buses. Nothing was too much trouble when requesting specifics.
Disliked: The hot water was not coming through in the shower although as the weather was so hot the tepid temperature was rather refreshing!

Exceptional

Liked: I liked everything about it...location, location, location. I stayed for 2 nights. Walking distance to GWR, which was great as I am a solo traveller with 2x suitcases. Hop On Hop Off 5min walk. Great local pubs and grocery shops. Oxford centre at your fingertips...really you were in it. The beautiful river next to it. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff wow. Loved everything and definitely will be staying there again if ever back in Oxford. Will highly recommend it :) Thank you

Good location, clean with helpful...

Liked: Good location. Garden in the back on the river. Clean. Good breakfast. Helpful staff.
Disliked: Is somewhat “dated” and I always find the quality for the money in UK hotels to be questionable. Basically it is a comfortable friendly hotel fine for a few nights in Oxford but expensive for what you get compared to most of Europe.

Charming B&B in the middle...

Liked: Very close to city center. Breakfast was large and tasty. Staff was attentive to my needs (put a fan in my room without even me needing to ask because it was hot).
