Alot of works going on...
Liked: Staff at reception was all good, nice and friendly. The location is good, if you need to be central. Nice bathroom, comfortable bed, portable fan/heater included, iron, and hairdryer, kettle etc.
Disliked: There was alot of works going on and I woke up to hammering and drilling with a man outside my bedroom window the first morning. My room was very dark with not much natural light & then felt I couldn't have my curtains open incase the workers popped up again on their ladders. The cleaners, cleaned my room despite having the do not disturb sign on the door. Mirror in bathroom is placed so high I could only see my forehead & Im 5.4.

Superb
Liked: Its a lovely historic building and its central location is fantastic off the main roads in a quiet quaint street but within a minute or two walk you’re in the throng of Oxford. Perfect.
Disliked: Would have been nice to have a fridge in the room, at £279 a night (it was a Saturday night in August so not cheap) I would have expected this but certainly not a reason not to stay here. Its location is perfect.

Nice and great spot
Liked: Great location. Room was a decent size
Disliked: Cold tap wouldn’t turn on in the bathroom and the shower was clogged meaning the water nearly overspilled and flooded the bathroom.

Good location but hotel could...
Liked: The hotel was very central
Disliked: The weather was very hot & the fans supplied in the room were poor. The bed in one room was rock hard & we weren’t told about the building work that started early each morning before we booked.
