Takes 15 mins to walk into central Oxford (at a decent speed), The owner was friendly and staff even accommodated my boyfriend to bring breakfast to our bedroom. Which was lovely, only down points were that the décor was dated and bathroom door was a slide door which didn't give the most privacy considering it was right next to the bed. My partner paid and when I heard the amount, I believed you were paying more for location and less for the actual hotel. Not 100% sure but I believe a central Premier Inn might have been cheaper, with more privacy, modern décor and with bigger rooms.

We stayed for a 3 night break. Lovely couple running the Hotel. Very convenient for the train station and city centre, it also has plenty of free parking for it guests onsite which is an added bonus. Great breakfast.
Also very covid safe, operating a 1 way system and plenty of hand sanitizers around the property.
Highly recommended

I really enjoyed my stay here - check in was quick, service friendly, and although the room was nothing fancy, it felt very cozy. The private bathroom was actually immediately across the hall from my room, so that was convenient. Breakfast had options for both continental and a hot cooked meal. Really convenient location right next to the train station.
