Ali Inn Oxford

Shower broken, kettle filthy , one chipped saucer one missing altogether. Lampshade missing just a bulb hanging down. Quilt ripped, general decore poor and needs refreshing, and an iron burn in the mingle of the carpet Really not acceptable for £175 a night

Got bed bugs. beware.

Room was comfortable and both room and en-suite were clean, and the stay was very good value for money. However, my room faced the street and even with the window closed I was disrupted several times during the night from noises outside (e.g. waste collection) so if anyone is a light sleeper I would suggest requesting a room not facing the street! Obviously the hotel itself is limited in their ability to rectify this.

We stayed in room 4 at Ali Inn and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. My wife woke up with multiple bites on her back and arm, consistent with bedbug bites. When we inspected the bed, we found several insects among the sheets. We placed the insects in a plastic bag as evidence and went to reception in the morning to report the issue, but there was no one available at the time. We also took photos of both the bites and the insects. This kind of situation is unacceptable, as it presents a serious health and hygiene concern. We expected better care and responsibility from the hotel.

Massive building works around property at the moment. Room cleanliness way below par - mold and dirty shower. Carpet poorly vacuumed and sheet stains. Towels old and ragged. Very budget hostel like accommodation for not hostel prices

Rooms fairly basic but very clean with plenty of hot water for the shower. Helpful staff and very central.

Absolutely disgraceful to list rooms at this property as £138 pounds per night for a double. The entrance looked like the back of a restaurant, manager on front desk gave poor greeting and just gave us a key no other information. Room was filthy, dust everywhere, dirty teacups, hair on linen. The fan was caked in dust. The bathroom had black mould, faeces in the toilet and all over toilet brush. Spoke to manager who said he had a cleaner clean it! He offered a second room, we accepted as didn’t want to ruin our trip but after 5 minutes in room it was only slightly better. Broken toilet seat, dirty fan, window wouldn’t open, smears on glass and dirty water in tooth brush holder..faeces in toilet and in brush. Stains on mattress absolutely gross. We decided despite it ruining our evening and trip we couldn’t stay. Went to speak to manager no staff anywhere to be found. Left key at front desk and text manager on number we had. No reply to request for refund no reply at all. Great location, good pictures on Expedia but don’t be fooled this is false this was worse then a hostel and absolutely filthy how they can get away with charging £140 for this is disgraceful. Awful customer service. Avoid at all costs!

The room had not been cleaned. It’s an old property with no double glazing and opposite a pub and next to a theatre so it was very noisy all night. The tv has not been working for a long time - maybe years looking at other reviews.No Wi-Fi too. Very poor effort for such a great location.

The receptionist was nice and the location is very good but the wifi did not work. The main issue was that my room and the bathroom were not very clean. The bathroom also had a strong odour so I needed to keep the bathroom door closed as it made me feel sick.

The room and bathroom was not cleaned properly. The bathroom was covered in dust, no face towel provided. The carpet in the room had long hair spread out in the room, was just not a nice clean environment to be in.

Very basic, poor internet and tv reception.

Property was central for walking to everything. Pub oppposite caused noise late at night AND we had lorries loading stage equipment from nearby theatre for 2 hours until 12.30am. This happens many times a week the roadies told us. The walls were paper thin & the windows single glazed so not only outside noise kept us awake but other guests talking & tv on until 4am! The price we were charged £330 for 2 nights, was not warranted.

Rooms were cute. Stairs to room were narrow & was glad we were on the first floor. TV had poor picture quality. Could hear people talking outside on the street.

Central location and room had everything needed... en-suite, good shower and tea/coffee making facilities. However, tea/coffee not topped up and no-one on the premises to ask. We had no sleep as the theatre was next door and the stage crew were dismantling and loading lorries from 11pm until 6.30am!! No privacy in the room if cirtains were opened and neighbours were able to look directly into the shower... we hung a towel over the glass for privacy!

Everything in the room was clean, and based on other reviews as I expected. The front is a little hard to find in the dark though. The location is excellent for the centre of town and lots of food and transport options right outside. I didn't actually see anyone who worked there the whole time, so this is not a place to stay if you need assistance. The room was noisy from outside, but earplugs sorted this out.

Chosen purely on price and location namely cheap and central. City centre so expect it to be noisy at night. Currently building work going on opposite so noisy early morning. Keys collected from polite person at desk on arrival. No one there in morning but not an issue. Narrow staircase if u have heavy luggage. Room clean. Kettle, Hair dryer, iron. Bedding clean. Bathroom clean. Mould around shower but not a game changer. Fire extinguishers in hallways. No fire exit found other than main staircase. Cheap, City centre location, city centre noise, Room clean. Fulfilled our brief cheap and central.

It’s just an en-suite room. Very basic!

It's a great location right in the centre of Oxford. But this also means it's very noisy. Had to have the window open after a hot day, but there was noise from the nearby pubs until 2am, and noise from the loud AC unit in the building across the road.

For the price, thos place is grubby. also very noisy from an industrial fan outside opposite our window.friendly staff though.

A cosy, central, extremely friendly little hotel.

Room was clean and comfortable. Typical 3-star accommodation, and Abdul, the manager, was a helpful and courteous host. Best part was that Ali Inn is in the heart of Oxford, close to bars, restaurants and all attractions. Highly recommended for value-for-money and convenience.

Well located city centre hotel within walking distance of city centre. Will definately stay again

Really good location near to railway station and round the corner from bus station…..a five minute walk brings you to city centre.felt comfortable and safe for a solo traveller.

Value for money and location

It's a great location right in the centre of Oxford. But this also means it's very noisy. Had to have the window open after a hot day, but there was noise from the nearby pubs until 2am, and noise from the loud AC unit in the building across the road.
