Ok stay in Oxford

Stayed in Elm house at the end of the drive away from the main hotel. The building smelt of dogs and the room was fine. Aircon was noisy. On arrival I was put in a standard double despite booking a king but this was rectified then I contacted reception

Great hotel, be specific with your needs and pref

A frequent user of this hotel as it is good location for my work trips. Always love the beds and the breakfast is varied and good quality. Downsides, very few rooms have a bath and as a solo traveller I’m often put on the main corridor so am frequently woken by other guests running up and down corridor/shouting at night and the cleaner at 5:30/6am bashing the wall with their broom or mop. If staying be really clear with your preferences or needs.

we stayed here for a couple of nights whilst seeing a show in Oxford. The hotel is in a quiet location approx 1.8 miles from Oxford City centre. There is a very pleasant walk along the Thames into the city (takes approx 30 mins)or the hotel is well served with several buses. The staff were very friendly, the room was nice and breakfasts were also very good. If returning to Oxford, i would more than happily use the hotel again
