Good room in good location but lacking care.
Pros:

Good location and nice decor, comfortable bed. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

Cons:

The bathroom had not been properly cleaned, I had to clean the loo seat before using it. There was also a plastic wrapper from a previous occupant in the bed. There was no hot water in the morning for a shower, it was chilly! The staff were disinterested although not unfriendly.

Pros:

Summertown is a great base, easy to get into Oxford centre (10 mins on bus), or great as somewhere to eat and hang out in its own right. Good to find somewhere with parking. Quirky fun decor. Clean snd readonable sized room. Staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Double bed was in fact two singles pushed together and with an uncomfortable trench down the middle. Shower was rather feeble. Coffee tray had to be awkwardly placed on floor to get it near enough to a plug.

Quirky hotel in Summertown
Pros:

Quirky hotel in Summertown. Both the lobby/restaurant areas and the rooms are gorgeously decorated in a vintage style that's very alluring. The bed was comfy and the bathroom spacious. I really appreciated having a complimentary conditioner, as it's rare that hotels offer it (it's usually just shower gel and shampoo).
The staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Cons:

Poor sound insulation, to the point you can hear the neighbours speak and cough very loudly. The windows are opaque, so the room is a bit dark. The hair dryer was old and inefficient.

Pros:

Chambre propre. Ambiance cosy.
Quelque peu éloigné du centre ville historique, mais il y avait des lignes de bus pour le rejoindre en direct. L’établissement se trouve au niveau d’un centre-ville périphérique très agréable (Summertown) avec toutes les commodités (commerces, restaurants, cafés, etc).

Cons:

Manque de rangement (ne serait-ce qu’une porte-valise), sans doute parce que la surface de la chambre était très petite.

Cons:

第ㄧ晚的房型與我訂的不一樣，很差！廁所洗手台不通順、且抽風機也壞了、要求換房，其中兩位人員不是很積極處理，一拖再拖，感受度很差！
