Easy stay with no major issues.
Pros:

Location was good as it wasn’t far from the train station or the centre. Was a quiet hotel so wasn’t woken up by any loud noises in the night. Staff were accommodating. The bed was soft with plenty of pillows.

Cons:

Not many facilities as the cafe is only tiny and no options for breakfast. The room could do with a few more touches to make it feel more comfortable. The room had some stains on the carpet- I’m not a fan of carpet anyway. The ceiling had some signs of damage which could do with a lick of paint. I think the decor overall could do with a bit of a refresh to make the place better.

Perfect Oxford stay - felt very in keeping with the whole vibe
Pros:

Beautiful setting, staff really helpful, rooms spacious and bed so comfortable. We were running the Oxford Half and it couldn’t have been closer.

Cons:

This is being very picky - but a 7.30 coffee on race day would have been a huge boost (it opened at 8am).

Disappointing
Pros:

Good location in the city

Cons:

Extremely expensive and the room was tiny compared to the images on the website. People could walk past our room and peer in and it was very hot. Staff were just security guys and not particularly friendly

اتيت لهذا المكان لأجل الموتمر فقط
Pros:

تجربتنا في الفندق كانت للأسف سيئة جدًا ومخيبة للآمال. تعامل الموظفين معنا كان غير متعاون وغير مرحب، ولم نشعر بوجود أي اهتمام براحة النزلاء أو محاولة مساعدتهم.

المكان على أرض الواقع صغير جدًا، ولا يشبه إطلاقًا المساحة والصور المعروضة في الموقع، مما أعطى انطباعًا مختلفًا تمامًا عن الواقع.

أما الحمام فكان من أكثر الأمور المزعجة؛ مساحته صغيرة جدًا لدرجة أنك بالكاد تستطيع التحرك دون أن ترتطم بالجدران من حولك، بالإضافة إلى أن الإضاءة فيه سيئة جدًا. كذلك لا يوجد تلفاز في الغرفة، ولا تتوفر أي مرافق أو خدمات مناسبة تساعد على جعل الإقامة مريحة.

بشكل عام، الفندق لا يقدم المستوى المتوقع مقابل السعر، والخدمة والتعامل والمرافق جميعها كانت أقل بكثير من توقعاتنا. للأسف، لا أنصح بالإقامة فيه، خصوصًا أن الصور والمعلومات الموجودة في الموقع لا تعكس الواقع بشكل دقيق.

Cons:

Our room was a “pod”. Not very big and the double bed was quite small too. With a small en-suite bathroom. We were surprised re the overall size given the price.

I would review all option avaliable and only book this at a last chance as we had too.
Pros:

The quality of the building was excellent and historic.

Cons:

There was no A/c and no television. The bed was small and the building's location was a long 25 minute walk from the train station dragging a bag was not fun. It was extremely expensive (180 Pounds a night) and not considered good value for money.
