    Comfortable Stay with Excellent Service

    I had a great experience during my two-night stay. The staff were genuinely welcoming, especially the gentleman who assisted me with my luggage. The room, although facing some noise from nearby bars, offered ample comfort for a solo traveler, and I appreciated the large TV for winding down after meetings.

    Great service, comfy stay!

    Had a lovely time! The staff were super welcoming and helped me with my bags when I arrived late. My room was perfect for work, with a nice bathroom and a large TV. Really enjoyed the complimentary tea and coffee, made it feel more personal, ya know? Only thing was it got a bit noisy at night with the city hustle.

    local cuisine
    stellar nearby restaurants
    nice room atmosphere
    overly cold room
    high holding fee

    Oh, let's chat about the local grub! I stumbled upon The Spire nearby, a true gem with flavours that dazzled my palate! There’s also a brilliant outdoor market offering tantalizing street food. the room was a delightful mix of old-school charm and modern vibes, making it feel like a cosy retreat after a day of culinary exploration.

    On the flip side, my window was wide open on arrival—brr, not ideal! And seriously, £200 holding fee? That put a dent in my Oxford adventure. Plus, the shower had a shockingly inconsistent flow. Still, the experience was like sipping a good brew with a side of cheeky banter.

    Great place right at George Street. The reception staff were super friendly and made check-in a breeze. My room had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a cozy bed. Loved the free biscuits and bottled water too. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water, which is all a solo traveler needs.

    Amazing location near restaurants and shops. Room small and no lift access made carrying luggage difficult. Nice touch with free biscuits in the room.

    great location
    high holding fee
    inconsistent shower pressure

    The location was perfect for exploring the city, with key attractions just a short walk away. I appreciated the cleanliness and the little touches in my room, like the complimentary cans of water. The nearby outdoor market offered an incredible variety of street food that I thoroughly enjoyed. I found the £200 holding fee quite frustrating, and the shower pressure was inconsistent, which was a bit annoying.

    cozy lounge
    kettle issue

    The room was spacious and modern, and I really appreciated the complimentary bottled water after a long journey. I loved unwinding in the cozy lounge and taking a leisurely stroll in the nearby park. Just a heads up, the kettle didn’t quite fit under the tap, but it didn’t ruin my stay. 😊

    Central spot with friendly vibes

    Super friendly staff and the room was spotless. Loved how we could walk to shops and the station so easily. Plus, there were loads of cool eateries just around the corner! Just a heads up, if you’re in a room facing the street, it can get pretty noisy with traffic.

    Good pick for short stay in Oxford at a reasonable price. The front desk guy was really kind and helped us get a nice room right away. Just remember, there’s no restaurant in the hotel, so look for food options nearby.
