Lovely hotel in very central location. Was a bit worried about noise but it was fine in the end during the night. Moved rooms to have a separate bathroom and lovely host gave us a bottle of wine and some earplugs in case of noise. Highly recommend the No.1 Ship Street restaurant nearby!

Finding a quiet room in the centre of Oxford was a real find. The room was spacious, well equipped with heaters, heated towel racks, ironing board etc. and the staff was super even moving our luggage up to our room for us. It would have been a challenge to navigate the stairs with mobility issues. Absolutely top notch stay.

A gem in the heart of Oxford
I had a great time at this hotel, if you would like to be in the heart of Oxford this is your hotel. If you also don’t mind to have amenities and just to have a comfortable bed and treat this city as your endless amenities of exploration then this is a great choice.

Property is defintely lacking in maintenance ( certainly the room I stayed in), with water dripping from the floor above in the bathroom area. The bathroom door also seems broken and ignored. Definitely overpriced for the poor state of facilities.

Would Stay Again!
Such a lovely hotel with the most attentive staff at the front desk. My daughter and I felt very safe and comfortable. The hotel was located on a quiet street just around the corner from the heart of everything in Oxford. Really just the best location.

Fine stay for a couple of nights while in town for work. The room was very noisy at night due to its location as well as in the morning when breakfast is brought around to other guests. Bathroom was not fully cleaned when we first checked in (hair on the floor, grime in the shower) and there are empty soap holders all over the bathroom. Note that rooms lack some amenities, like there was no fridge and limited outlets. Blackout curtains were great, though. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, though, the room just could have used more cleaning, updating, and quieter early mornings.
