The hotel is in the perfect location to visit Oxford city and colleges. It is close to shops and restaurants and provided you pre-book the parking is very convenient. Our room ( junior suite) was large and comfortable. The room was cold on arrival and it was not clear how the heating worked but once we got instructions it warmed up fine. The bathroom was cold throughout our stay because the only heating is a heated towel rail which is insufficient for the size of room. Also when you turned in the light a fan turned on automatically. It was aggressively loud and there was no other light source. There was a free standing tub in the bathroom but if you wanted to use it you would need to listen to the industrial strength fan which is not very conducive to a relaxing soak in the bath! Service was good at reception but it took half an hour to get a drink in the restaurant do our food arrived before we were served a drink! Our server did biologist when we complained and chomp’s the first round of drinks..

Nice room, clean, warm, spacious. It would have been nice for bottled water to be complimentary. The room was expensive and having to pay for water from the fridge was a little excessive.

An unusual and well appointed suite. Lots of stairs so be prepared to climb. Minor issues were speedily remedied. A bit pricey, but mostly worth the cost for location and quirky quaintness of building.

Was put in one of the dungeon rooms ("The Clink") which I had purposely NOT selected when making the booking. Nice basement room. Was quiet until the maids started work early the next morning. Their utility room door was immediately outside and was shockingly loud - kept thinking someone was opening the door to our room. Other than that I was happy with the hotel.

While thrilled with an early check in, my room was on the bottom floor, was cold until 2 portable heaters were brought by maintenance. The power went out on Sunday evening—9:00pm until I approached the front deck for assistance at 6:00am. Obviously no back up generators. No compensation for any inconvenience. I did have a lovely dinner at the restaurant. Overall staff was professional and pleasant.
