Budget sojourn
Delightful, friendly welcoming manager.
Small budget hotel slap bang next to the main railway station.
Only hitch: noisy construction work late into the night.

The staff are very friendly. One of the owners got us a map and showed us all the places of interest to go to in Oxford. I liked how close we were to the centre. All in all a lovely place to stay

Was on a business trip and was perfect for a basic overnight stay. It's an old hotel and an old building which is part of it's charm.

Family trip
Lovely family run hotel in central location. It’s was a bit underwhelming from the outside but the garden is beautiful and the we enjoyed the hospitality. Breakfast was very nice. We will definitely go back next time we travel in Oxford.

Nice place with a great staff!
Hotel itself was as expected: nice, cozy and tradional. Absolutely fabulous was the staff: professional, efficient and at the same time warm and caring of their guests and their needs. Elderly people were treated well. I recommend to be in contact with this hotel in advance, because there are many different kind of rooms available for variable preferences.

This is in a very convenient location, unfortunately there are noisy roadworks at the moment and the kitchen was being renovated during my stay, so there was not a cooked breakfast.

The property was clean.
For the annexe property where three rooms were sharing 1.5 toilets/bathroom it was exceptionally maintained with great cleanliness standards.

Although there was road works, the place was easy to access. No lift in Annex which was tough with 6 bags on top floor. Will the manager was outstanding. I would go back given his hospitality and guest service. Seemed a happy place where staff were chatty and happy.
