Decent place for an overnight stay in central Oxford.
Pros:

Tidy, clean, comfortable room in a quiet street. Quite narrow beds so if you’re ‘supersize’ you’re going to struggle! If not, perfectly ok.
I left early but I don’t think breakfast was an option anyway.

Cons:

In Room 4, the socket to the right of the fridge near the floor made a suspicious crackling noise when I used it to charge my phone so I took it out but already the tips of the plug were red hot.
Should get it looked at but when I checked out at 7:30am on the Saturday there was no one to tell (you just post the key through the office letterbox).

Pros:

good location

Cons:

bathroom was stated to be private , but it is not attached. what was very upsetting was that even though i was promised noone else would use this bathroom, the trash had not been emptied. I couldnt find an alternative hotel at short notice because it was a busy weekend and so I stayed for 1 night instead of 2

I decided to check out a day early because of this but could find no one to give the key to.
Pros:

No hot water in bathroom or shower the first evening I arrived or the following morning. No staff available to report this to. No one answered the phone number I was given.

Cons:

No hot water in bathroom the first evening I arrived or the following morning. No staff available to report this to. No one answered the phone number I was given. I decided to check out a day early because of this but could find no one to give the key to. They refused to refund my second night, told me that the previous guest had not mentioned a problem with the hot water and that the maid had not reported a hot water problem when she cleaned the room. In other words, they implied I was lying. Will obviously not stay here again or recommend anyone else does.
