Location is great, quiet area of Oxford but with good connections into the city. Breakfast was buffet style with a good selection.

Un posto bellissimo!
Pros:

La struttura è accogliente, silenziosa, pulita. Lo staff davvero disponibile e gentile. La nostra camera per tre persone era grande, con tre finestre da cui entrava una bellissima luce. Abbiamo fatto colazione in giardino, il cibo a disposizione era abbondante e secondo me, capace di soddisfare tutte le esigenze. Anche dal giardino, curato e ben organizzato, si percepisce la dedizione delle responsabili.
Dal St Margaret si arriva in centro a piedi con una bella passeggiata, oppure salendo su uno degli autobus che passano continuamente nella strada vicina. La zona dell’hotel è silenziosa, in una bella via alberata, davanti c’è un college universitario che ti fa subito capire di essere arrivato in una città dedicata storicamente allo studio. Dovessi tornare a Oxford penserei subito al St Margaret! Quindi sì, consigliato!! :)

Cons:

Mi è piaciuto tutto!

Sweet hotel in a great location at a good price
Pros:

St Margaret's Hotel is perfectly situated for visiting Oxford without paying excessive rates. It's perfectly located for punting and dining at the Cherwell Boathouse and nearby pubs (eg The Anchor) are delightful. It's a short walk to Port Meadow and doesn't take long to get to central Oxford (even less time if you take the bus from the nearby stop). The gardens are lovely, the staff are friendly and helpful and it is clean, comfortable and rooms are spacious. Reception isn't staffed during the evenings and night but there's someone on the premises at all times and as long as you are OK to do without room service and let yourself in and out (as we are), it's a great place to stay.

Gemütliche Unterkunft in Oxford
Pros:

Vier-Bett-Zimmer größer als erwartet. Bad geräumig, Kaffee und Kaltgetränke wären bereit gestellt. Parkplätze vorhanden. Schöner Außenbereich. Frühstück war sehr gut, vieles vorhanden. Nett, dass die vielen Vögel gefüttert wurden.

Cons:

Man saß beim Frühstück eng beisammen mit den anderen Gästen, die leider die Privatsphäre auch nicht beachtet haben. Ein Stück zu laufen in die Innenstadt.

居心地は良いが、熱すぎた。
Pros:

朝食はバラエティーに富んでいた。　ネスレドルチェグストを色々ためせた。

Cons:

部屋のレイアウトを改善する。９号室のベッドを斜めの天井の下へ。背もたれを取り払う。
シャワーが熱すぎて、調整もできない。
最上階の日当たりが良い部屋で30度越え。エアコンが必要。
