Stayed 1 night

This is a traditional English hotel, a bit fusty but we had a good experience. Check-in was a bit challenging as the hotel reception had left before we arrived in the evening and I was not able to access my email message with check-in instructions. However, we were able to work that out with a minimum of inconvenience. The breakfast was very good and the breakfast rook overlooked the Thames (basically a stream in Oxford). The bedroom was basic, but the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for the shower. The location by the train station was important for us and it was not a long walk into the centre of town.

Amazing location near Said Business School and ten minutes to downtown. My view of the river was priceless. The rooms are comfortable and quaint and breakfast was generous. Overall... Adorable. Staff were kind and helpful.

The room was clean and tidy, although the hotel is already a tad worn-out. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Basic breakfast, excellent service.
