Top hotels in East Oxford
Crown House
The room was large and clean. Based on location be prepared for Uni kids to load a boisterous all night (and I mean all night to 0600)…

Crown Hotel
A night stop after attending a concert at the nearby O2 academy. Pin room and front door entry brilliant. Room very good but no instructions on operating air conditioner. Got it going after while.
