This was a great hotel for a stay in central Oxford. I prefer to walk when possible and this was perfect for seeing everything I wanted. The main colleges, the library, and restaurants were all easily walkable. The room was small as expected (single room), but well appointed with everything I needed. The bathroom and shower were extremely nice! Loved my stay here.

I never write reviews but this place is exceptional! The staff was fabulous! The rooms are wonderful. Totally worth the money. Close to everything you want to do in Oxford. We upgraded to the room with two tubs and huge shower. The amount of space is hard to come by in UK and worth every penny. Wonderful mix the old with new, very well done. Great cafes very close. I would go out of my way to stay here again.
