Room is very cute and situated very well. It’s close to shopping, restaurants, and the colleges of Oxford. My only con would be no real concierge to take the luggage to the rooms and no elevator. I loved our stay here and would stay again.

Excellent location right in the centre of town. Room was clean, big and the bed was comfortable. Only negative would be that the room felt stuffy because you couldn't open a window.

Great and friendly service and room was clean. It was very convenient as the hotel was pretty much in the middle of the city. Only downside was that there were no fridge.
