Clearly needs some TLC to bring it back to standard, wall power sockets hanging loose, 'shower' is a 1 pint jug, door hooks unsecure. Generally just a bit tatty. And the bed has one of the most uncomfortable mattresses I've ever slept on.

The room did not have an additional safety lock in the door and did not have a shower (only a bath). Check-in was also difficult as there was nobody available when I arrived so I had to call and check in via phone.

The location is amazing but thats where it ends. It could be fantastic with some imagination and investment but to have to use a bathroom on another floor just isn't viable in this day and age. The decor was tired and the whole thing felt unloved.

Location wise it’s very good, just few minutes walk from the tourist attractions. The room is okay, not thoroughly cleaned and there’s a leak on the wall coming from upstairs.

Excellent communication & check in. Lovely warm spacious room, ensuite shower room/toilet with shower gel. Very comfortable bed and space to sit in front of TV. Smart TV, kettle & tea/coffee/hot chocolate provided (+milk& sugar). Lovely quiet street, very peaceful amongst the old buildings and looking across to one of the college gardens. Lots of interesting places to walk to within 5 minutes, colleges, museums and also many lovely restaurants and cafes nearby. I didn't have time to walk to the river but that looks lovely & there are boat trips.

Quiet, cozy, comfortable, clean room. Very Oxford vibe, old construction. Incredible location in heart of city center but on a quiet street so you really feel tucked away inside. Service was great, and responsive. There is not a permanent attendant like at most hotels, it was quite old tech with a lockbox and just the key sitting in a bowl in the reception area. I would stay again for sure.

A great place to stay in Central Oxford for a weekend, plus we needed to drop off luggage early and the contact was very helpful. Note that the hotel is unstaffed for large parts of the time, also being central it was quite noisy at night, but very cosy and clean.
