The hotel is excellently located in the vibrant center of Oxford, offering modern comfort in the rooms and friendly service. While the narrow single bed might be a bit tight, the spacious toilet and big towel add to the positive experience. The included European dining is a plus, although some might find it limited. Overall, a convenient choice with great value for money.

The hotel is situated right in the city centre of vibrant Oxford, offering modern comforts and lovely touches in the rooms. However, the narrow single bed leaves minimal space around it, somewhat affecting the overall comfort. The service from the reception desk was efficient but limited to just one staff member. Overall, it's a convenient place to stay with a few room-related considerations.

I loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were clean and cozy, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was fantastic. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the narrow single bed with little space around it was a downside. Despite that, the convenience and value for money made it a great choice for my trip.

The hotel is situated right in the center of Oxford, offering a clean and comfortable stay, though lacking soap in the rooms. The large twin beds pushed together provided a cozy atmosphere, but the absence of hand soap was a downside. The service was efficient with one staff member at the reception, and the housekeeping and laundry services were satisfactory. The location is convenient, being in the heart of the city, but being opposite a nightclub might pose noise issues. Although the price was reasonable, the dining options were not included, impacting the value for money. The hotel lacked soap in the rooms, but is ideally located in the city center.

The hotel is in the center of Oxford, near everything you want in Oxford, and directly opposite a nightclub. The rooms have a nice bathroom with modern comforts but little space around the narrow single bed. The service is provided by one staff member at the reception desk, and there are housekeeping and laundry services available. The dining options are not included and there is a shabu shabu served. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is in a vibrant center of Oxford, with very small sinks in the rooms but a nice bathroom. The size of the twin beds pushed together was great, but unfortunately, there was no soap provided to wash hands. The location is very convenient, being close to everything, but the rooms could use some improvements in terms of amenities.
