Appreciated
Pros:

I was staying at the annex and had to be moving over to come for breakfast. It was not expected though. But the breakfast was great.

Cons:

I did not know that I was going to be in the annex until just a day before my arrival. It was a bit off.

Very welcoming hotel with a lovely patio and garden for breakfast
Pros:

The staff were wonderfully kind, welcoming, and helpful. We could leave our luggage there hours before our official check-in. The highlight was a lovely garden, where we were able to enjoy breakfast outdoors. They also provided gluten-free bread.:)

Cons:

It would be helpful to have a fan in the bathroom to reduce humidity in the rooms. The doors were little squeaky. Otherwise, everything was great.

Die Lage war super, das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es war wegen Baustelle sehr la
Pros:

Für den Preis war das Frühstück mau. Man hätte aufzahlen müssen um ein warmes Frühstück, wie z. B. ein Ei, zu bekommen. Man musste um Butter fragen, um eine zweit Kanne Tee, bei 2 Personen.

Cons:

Frühstück

Horrible experience
Pros:

One young man in the reception (blonde guy, I don’t know his name) was professional and polite. A lovely receptionist.

Cons:

The place was old and dirty.
The breakfast was not good and continental. They charge extra money for an espresso and cooked items.
The staff is rude.
The room had bad smell and items from another guest.

Pros:

La situation; le petit déjeuner copieux et la possibilité de prendre le petit déjeuner dehors sur la patio.du jardin.

Cons:

Rien . Il y avait bien des travaux importants dans la rue mais l'hôtel a fait de son mieux pour nous prévenir tout en proposant des équipements pour minimiser le bruit.

Very adequate tourist accommodation at a reasonable price.
Pros:

Breakfast good and included in price with various hot options for a small added cost. a lovely enclosed garden attached to breakfast room also available. Staff very attentive. A fan was available in room which helped when hot weather hit. Location is excellent..across from train station. Exterior looks dated but room well equipped with wifi and USB plugs, as well as en suite bathroom (with shower not bath tub).

Cons:

Unfortunately the hotel is currently right in the middle of a large municipal road construction site but every effort was made by staff to accommodate this, even issuing ear plugs which were not needed.

A total waste of money!
Pros:

Nothing!!!!!

Cons:

The hotel is right next to a construction site. The construction continues since three years. The hotel and staff do not offer simple gesture - like a free breakfast, or a drink, anything that could serve a commercial gesture...

立地のメリット、設備の不便さ、いろいろあるが、スタッフの笑顔が一番!!
Pros:

朝食はコンチネンタルに加えて選択肢が数種あり、好みで選べて良かった。
階段が狭くて急であることは覚悟していたが、チェックイン、チェックアウトの時、スタッフがスーツケースをすぐに運んでくれたので、本当にありがたかった!

Cons:

部屋にトイレがないことは分かっていたが、湯沸し用の水を汲むにも、洗顔・歯磨きにも、いちいち鍵をかけて出なければならないのが面倒だった。

It was a pleasurable, convenient, and worthwhile stay. If I go back to Oxford, I will book with them!
Pros:

It was a clean and well-equipped hotel that gave me an idea of what it is like to live in England. While I had an annex bathroom, the cleaning service provided me with great comfortability. It was located near the city centre and was quite close to Jericho and Port Meadow. More than this, the staff were wonderful! Steve and William oversaw our visit. Both men were friendly and attentive. Having grown up in Oxford, they gave us great advice. Unlike American hotels, you could really sense the hospitality and kindness of the staff. It is a family run business as well!
