My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were spacious, well-furnished, and the modern bathroom was a lovely touch. However, a fresh coat of paint is needed to address some damp marks on the ceiling. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly helpful and friendly. The central location was unbeatable, making it easy to explore Oxford's highlights. The dining experience was good, but some more variety could enhance it. Overall, a great value for money choice in a bustling part of Oxford.

The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Oxford, within walking distance to colleges and pubs. The rooms are clean and comfortable, albeit the bed was not the best for a good night's sleep. The service was welcoming and accommodating, enhancing our stay. However, the dining options were a mixed bag, and the price may not justify all aspects of the experience.

I had a delightful stay at this charming 17th-century house turned hotel. The rooms were cosy, clean, and full of character, offering modern amenities like fast broadband and a satellite TV. The service was top-notch with friendly staff willing to go the extra mile. The central location in Oxford was perfect, providing easy access to all the attractions. The dining experience was tasty, especially the bubble & squeak with poached eggs. However, there could be some improvements to the facilities provided.

Staying in the heart of Oxford in a 17th-century building was a wonderful experience. The location cannot be beaten, just off the main shopping street, offering a quiet retreat from the bustling crowds. The rooms were comfortable, but the initial chill from a cold radiator was off-putting. The service was friendly and welcoming, though the lack of advance notice about builders working on the property was a downside. Dining options were good, but some dishes were overcooked. Overall, a great value for being at the center of Oxford with cozy accommodation.
