"Ideal location for getting the bus into Oxford. Room size, layout and furniture all good. Mattress too hard for me (not a great night's sleep) but fine for my husband. Ceiling cobwebs. Bathroom door needed cleaning. Sink cracked. Bathroom otherwise beautifully clean. Nice toiletries. Wi-fi very patchy. Staff were good and attentive."

"It was a lovely family room we stayed at. It was refurbished and nice. But the toilet floor was a bit dirty with dust from the refurbishment. Staffs were very helpful and we had a great service from the breakfast. Parking was easy. Swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi was brilliant. We very enjoyed it. The hotel got a bar/restaurant and Starbucks. Also there are Tenpin, cinema, restaurants and Asda supermarket nearby. It is very convenient for family to stay for a short break. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience."
