Parking wasn't that simple. We had to download an app, unfortunately, but we struggled with internet access as the signal was poor at the car park. However, the reception team sorted this out for us. The car park is a short walk from the hotel. Please note that the cost is significantly reduced with the hotel code.

The hotel is near the train station and near the City Centre. Our room was clean and big enough for 3 persons. There is no lift there, with heavy bags or for older people this might be a problem. The bathroom also had a good size but it was nearly impossible to shower with a convenient temperature, either too hot or too cold. The staff was friendly.

Very conveniently located. Parking is a bit of a problem, but that is Oxford in general, and expensive. Park in a park and ride and get the bus in. Hotel room was good, nice bathroom. No lift but only 2 floors so doable. Having the restaurant next door is handy.

Absurd that the hotel has no lift! If your particulars had included this basic information, as an 84 year old, I would have gone elsewhere. It makes me realise that I cannot rely on Expedia particulars and as a consequence I may cease to use Expedia. Otherwise (but this is a big exception), the hotel was fine.

Simple place, nothing fancy. But clean, had good AC, big bathroom, comfortable beds. Horrible shower though, with weak steam and difficulties setting the temperature. Great location if you want to be close to the train station and the bus station for airport busses. Overall good value for the money.

Very nice location. Stayed for 2 nights with a friend. Street is quite noisy. If you are on that side of the hotel, do not leave the windows open at night! Windows + coverings did manage to drown most of it out. Loved the Lighthouse Pub just down the street - especially on Tuesday for buy one/get one tapas.

The room was very clean but very compact. There was no shower gel left in the container. There were no extras at all - not even a shower cap or washer. It was a very spartan stay!!! We had to cart our luggage up to the second floor by ourselves. The staff were friendly but tended to offer assistance after you had already done the job. The reception area was not at the front of the building so that meant they didn’t see you unless you went to them.

Room was clean and comfortable and staff were friendly. Hotel was an easy 8 min walk from the bus station, 5-10 min walk to places to eat & see, and 13 min walk to the car rental company. We would stay there again. The only thing that was odd was that the desk staff asked us not to take our room key off premises when we went out dining or sightseeing -- they wanted the room key left at the desk and picked-up upon our return, which was first time we have ever been asked this by a hotel, and it was not as convenient as being trusted to carry our key safely with us.

There really is nothing to this hotel. It looks big in the picture, but actually it occurs only a small reception area on the ground floor; retail shops occur the rest of the ground floor. The hotel has all or most of upper floors. There is a small restaurant that serves breakfast, not included, which we found to be slow, and supper. The hallways are narrow and very stuffy. The best feature of the rooms and the hotel is the bathroom, which has been completely remodeled and well-designed. The bed is rock hard. The staff was very helpful.
