Ali Inn Oxford

Would not recommend

Staff were really friendly, the fan in the room was really helpful as the weather was so hot. Cleanliness could have been better. Location was very central and easy walking from train station.

Great location

Do not book here...I wish I could give zero stars in the system. We stayed at this location for only one night. The room was hot, so we opened the window... but there was a large industrial fan that turned on every half hour and ran for 30 mins. It was so loud, we could hear it with noise canceling headphones. The towel heater could not be turned off, which contributed to the temperature in the room. To add to this, the shower had black mold in the tiles the shower head was covered in mold, the corners of the bathroom had mold, there was a large patch in the ceiling (possibly from previous work that was done) that was not finished, and the shower temperature could not be regulated. Our friend was in another room and had stained sheets, dirty flooring, and mold in the bathroom as well. I spoke with the staff/owner to say we could not stay in the room, and I requested a refund for the remaining nights. He said it was the responsibility of Orbitz to do this. He hung up on me, when I called back he was irate and said I need to contact Orbitz because I did not book directly with him. Long story short, I contacted Orbitz. They reached out to the owner (who hung up on them then shut his phone off). He refused to refund any amount. Orbitz was so kind to provide me with a small one time credit, which will cover one of the nights we lost.

Just don’t go there.
