A fabulous location for all things Oxford. We used the Redbridge park & ride (being over 60 we only had to pay for the car which was £8.50 for 48 hours and we used our senior bus passes on the bus). …

Booked what appeared to be a charming guest house in town. Musty, hot and stale. Mold in the shower, shades that did not work, linens that were dusty and damp smelling. Pillows flat and mattress lumpy, old, stained and uncomfortable. Cobwebs and dust on woodbeams above bed. Fan non fuctional but likely because it would push dust down on bed. Clearly, one is not welcome to stay more than a night as there is absolutely nowhere to hang or store belongings.Pluses, wifi, in room safe and location in town.Decor is eclectic and has a quirky charm.

Room 2: 1st floor, at the back of the building. Huge room, great comfy bed with nice linen and good pillows. Reluctant to get out of bed each morning. USB ports at the bedside. Exposed beams and brickwork, it was very nicely designed. …

Disastrous, it is not a hotel, it is 3 rooms going up a staircase passing between a bike shop... You enter with a code that they never sent us and it is practically impossible to talk to them, the phones they have to call do not work and they never answer if you call from another. After talking to them several times and dragging our feet, they gave us a code to enter the room and it was occupied by other people! And that same code opens the main door and all the rooms, so the security is ridiculous... In the end, after waiting two hours, they gave us a key to enter our room. It was very cold those days and the radiators did not work, the telephone in the room did not work and the duvet was too small for the bed. We were cold and it's not worth it at all.I wouldn't recommend this place to even my worst enemy, it has a good location, but there are 200 other places that also have it.

Absolutely perfect. Will be using again in future. Could not wish for better accommodation. So central to everything. Warm cosy clean and superb decor.When you arrive it’s all a bit strange as you enter the building through a bike shop so good to know this before you arrive thanks to reviews at least you are prepared. However you get the wow factor when you enter the amazing building which has been superbly renovated for the 3 accommodations upstairs.We had a lovely 2 night stay, slept well comfy bed and no disturbance.Entry was easy, enter codes supplied over phone by the reception at the Hotel.We used park and ride and saved a huge amount of money on parking for two days. The No 2 bus stops are just a few minutes walk around the corner. So pleased with this booking 10/10 loved it.Hairdryer, ironing board, tea coffee milk, mini fridge, coffee percolator. Bathroom kitted out well, excellent shower area, lovely towels and toiletries superb. Wifi good.

Lovely place to stay - really nicely furnished, comfortable bed and great amenities - hairdryer, iron, fridge, wine glasses, bottle opener.We loved it - location is brilliant too.The only thing that could be improved is a longer shower screen as it is impossible to shower without getting the bathroom floor soaking wet!We used the "just park" app and found a parking spot just a 7min walk away for £36 for two nights - no idea if that's good value or not, but I had read that some car parks are that for an overnight.
