We felt it wasnt suitable for visitors with cars as there's little parking. It's a flat above a Turkish barbers on a very very busy road. But it may be fine for pedestrians as lots of buses outside going into town. Personally i wouldn't feel happy about staying in this area if I was a single female.

Good price for a 6 day stay. Suitable for international students during the shifting timing. Although the check-in procedure wasn't smooth as there was a bit was confused with the room allocation and had to wait near the reception area for almost 20 mins.Bathroom handle and lock is not missing.

Solid accommodation, tidy and fine for a short stay. The rooms have a few dings (bathroom door handle missing etc) but are comfortable enough. About a 20 minute bus journey to the center of Oxford.
