Prima ligging voor een bezoek aan Oxford
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk en hulpvaardig personeel, lekker ontbijt, prima ligging en handig dat er een parking is.

Cons:

De kamers (of toch degene waar wij verbleven) zijn enorm verouderd en wat mij betreft aan een totale make-over toe. Geen airco en nog de ouderwetse sleutels aan een houten plankje. Je waant je in de jaren '70.

The location and staff

The room was very hot - no ability to fully open a window to let some air circulate. No air conditioning.

Pros:

Great location and the staff were all lovely: polite and helpful.
Location is ideal and really quiet for where you are - easy to walk into central Oxford.

The hotel is showing its age - room was tatty in places. Pillows were rock hard but mattress was comfortable and the bed linen was lovely. I had a nice balcony to let the air in.

Room v warm but with fan and window open it was ok (muggy September day and night).

Cons:

For a 4* hotel the rooms and amenities are not really up to scratch - cheap polyester duvet or plastic glasses in the bathroom, peeling paintwork.

Great Location
Pros:

Very friendly and welcoming. Clean and breakfasts were nice

Cons:

Minor observations and not complaints. Space either side of bed annoying. Looks like there may have been a wider bed in place but not a deal breaker. Shower pressure was not great.

The price did not reflect the value of the sleepless night.
Pros:

The house is nice, Location is good if you need to be near Brooks University. Staff was friendly. The bed comfortable and the bathroom clean.

Cons:

Not being able to fall asleep as the walls were so thin that it was allowing the sound of the next door neighbour's snoring to come through. I thought I had booked the room just for myself, but the noise was as loud as if i was sharing the room.. I had to keep the fan in the bathroom running to create some white noise. But the fan of course stopped after a few minutes. All in all, it did not help much. The night was short. Not fun.
I was baffled that a simple cappuccino for breakfast was charged extra. Fresh fruit were sparse, but carbs in heeps.
