    The room was directly opposite the cafe's kitchen, so I was woken up by their loud chatter early every morning! Only a small thing but very irritating. It's really quite inaccessible to oxford, even if you're quite a fit walker! It's a good 15 minute walk to the nearest sites (eg. Christ church college), and the nearest public transport is a bus stop about a 10 min walk, so you really need to take a taxi if you're travelling to oxford by train. Only a small thing, but the electric blanket under the sheets was very uncomfortable and definitely not needed in spring/summer! Made for a very uncomfortable bed!

    The reception staff were so kind, when I checked in they instantly upgraded my room (without me asking) to a ground floor room when they saw that I had a very large suitcase so that I wouldn't have to carry it upstairs! Although the windows in the room didn't open, the air conditioner was extremely efficient to cool down the room which warmed up very quickly during the day. The provided continental breakfast was very generous and varied!

    Hot breakfast has to be payed extra (which could be included in the price already). Bathroom smelled quite strong.

    Perfect location in an quiet area but within walking distance to the city center. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast in the Ethos Caffé just bext to the hotel. They do serve diner as well, which is very convenient. Room was very big with a kitchenette.

    The 'continental' breakfast is a diabetic's nightmare. Lots of sweet items and although you can ask for plain yoghurt and there was a good choice of fresh fruit, it is really hard to avoid sugar (and fat), so we felt it was really poor value for the price. We had sunny weather, but going from the bedroom to the breakfast room could be cold and wet in other weather.

    The hotel was situated in a quiet street but within easy walking distance of central Oxford and walks along the river. The room was large and comfortable and all the staff we met were very friendly. Wifi and TV worked fine for us.

    If u r carrying heavy luggages it will be slightly inconvenient as u have to carry them up and down depending on the room u get. The room that i stayed in had some issue with the drainage at shower area I hope they get that fixed.

    Well it's a very clean and comfortable hotel, they provide a good spread for breakfast and it's free. The staff are super friendly and helpful. There is a bus stop nearby so getting to the city should be easy. I checked in late but staff provided me sufficient information for a smooth self check in.

    I didn't like two mattresses pushed together on a king sized bed, instead of 1 king sized mattress. It created a ridge down the middle of the bed, which for couples can be uncomfortable. Otherwise it was great.

    It would be useful if more information could be provided on the website about car parking. We had to phone the hotel when we arrived because there was nowhere to pull over to ask for directions.

    The room was larger than expected and had the added bonus of a useable kitchen area. The rooms are accessed by a side door, which made it feel very private. The complimentary full English breakfast on our first morning was very welcomed, and while we didn't make use of the cafe/bar at other times, it was nice to know it was available. The location couldn't have been better; the hotel is in a residential street just two minutes walk from the river and around five minutes from the central shopping area and attractions.

    The plug in the shower was stuck but managed to unplug it eventually. No views at all the room is functional and comfortable but not somewhere you would want to spend a lot of time in.

    The staff at the hotel were fabulous. Hotel itself is located across more than one site, initially we wondered if we were in the right place when we arrived as it did not look like the photos. Room was a great size and very warm as we visited in winter. It was an easy walk into Oxford so a good location. Carparking available if you book it - but it costs extra. The breakfast was fab, and the team in the restaurant were great, as were the reception team.

    Getting into one of the parking areas was a bit tight - but that may say more about my driving than the place.

    We stayed in a room above the Ethos Cafe as the hotel is spread across two buildings across the road from each other. We ate (delicious pizza) and had cocktails (also delicious) at the cafe which was very convenient The hotel is situated perfectly. It is in a quiet residential area - two minutes walk from the river and five minutes from the city centre. Our room was clean and spacious with everything we needed - tea and coffee making facilities, fridge and microwave; iron and ironing board; and a huge TV with all the channels you could need. The super- king size bed was very comfortable. Even with the window open, there was barely any traffic or people noise.

    Parking would have been a problem if we had not paid £10 for a space behind an adjacent property.
