Perfect.
Pros:

Absolutely stunning building. Very quirky decor which was such a refreshing change from grey and beige! Friendly staff. Unbeatable location opposite the Ashmolean Museum and right in the centre of town, short walk from the station. Lovely restaurant and bar and great buffet breakfast. I can’t wait to return.

Cons:

Nothing.

Very pricy for what you actually get - especially if you take your pup .
Pros:

Beautiful decor and friendly staff

Cons:

Shower very very small. Only dog friendly to a degree - not allowed into breakfast and charge £60 for my very small non-moulting dog to stay which is extortionate. No special additions. Bed and bowl. - and we were put at the back of the hotel because of the dog. Very disappointing. Breakfast average. Coffee poor. Expensive to park here also
