Great location!
Pros:

The location is excellent. Walking distance to everything and super quiet. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We got an early check in and they were happy to store our luggage.

Cons:

The beds weren't the comfiest and it's an older style hotel, however still good value for money.

Welcoming, attentive staff, good location, near city centre, local amenities and train station.
Pros:

The staff were genuinely lovely. The hotel has a family run feel to it with its own restaurant downstairs, they were attentive and very welcoming.
The location is ideal, set on a quiet backstreet in Jericho, close to both Oxford city centre and to the pubs, bars and restaurants of the local area, which we found excellent.

Cons:

The room itself is a little tired, though it was a good size with clean bedding and fresh towels. The beds were very narrow and the shower area was a little awkward to access. No breakfast included.

Ausreichender Komfort, gute Lage
Pros:

Gute Lage, fußläufig zur Altstadt, schönen Restaurants, Cafés und Parks. Es gab einen Kühlschrank, Tee und Kaffee auf dem Zimmer. Zimmer wirkte sauber und ordentlich.

Cons:

Das WLAN hat extrem schlecht funktioniert. Die Möbel sind ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. An der Rezeption war meistens niemand.
Ich war während einer Hitzewelle in Oxford und das Zimmer wurde sehr warm. Es gab aber immerhin einen Ventilator.

Poor quality but close to town centre
Pros:

Close to the town centre, within walking distance. It has its own bathroom.

Cons:

The room did not resemble the photos on the site. It was poorly furnished, the floor sloped, it had not been properly cleaned and there was a smell. The bed was uncomfortable.

Comfortable and clean in a great location
Pros:

Great location for where I needed to be at a conference. Clean and entirely fit for purpose for my needs but don’t expect cutting edge facilities or luxury

Cons:

It’s basically a set of rooms above a restaurant so I didn’t see a soul from check in (in the restaurant) to check out (posting my keys through an office door). This was not a problem for me but don’t stay here if you expect or need staff at your beck and call.

Reasonable stay - relatively pleasant, but would have preferred not to climb all those stairs!
Pros:

The room was comfortable, reasonably clean and the staff were helpful with getting my bags upstairs. They also kindly allowed me to leave my luggage at the property while I went into Oxford the next day, and I was able to pick it up later. Pleasant location - food in Lebanese restaurant downstairs was good. Restaurant manager very helpful. Pleasant location near city centre.

Cons:

I had to climb up loads of stairs to get to the room! Also, no breakfast - however, I brought some brioche rolls and a banana with me, so had breakfast in my room. When I wanted to get a taxi to take me from the Jericho hotel to Exeter College, where I was staying for 5 days, the staff did not have a taxi number. I had to find this myself.

Mouillé
Pros:

L emplacement

Cons:

Fuite d eau dans la chambre, le couloir, et lieu commun. Le toit une vraie passoire.
Les draps étaient mouillés à notre arrivée.
Nous avons du demandes deux fois pour que l hôtel nous change les draps.
