"I had a lovely stay at this hotel , the only thing that disappointed me was there was a big cobweb above my bed on the ceiling which I would not expect to see , I did mention this to the receptionist and showed her the photo when handing my key in , apart from that the room was comfortable and had all I needed and I would stay here again in the future"

"This hotel would of got 5 stars but the bathroom smelled of cabbage especially after the door had been shut, also the basin is set in a very large piece marble which meant my top got wet anytime I used it as I had to stretch over wet marble, it does not affect tall people. Breakfast is very good."

"Wonderful stay at this grand old hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Gave me some tooth care kits when I realised I'd forgotten my toothpaste. The room was huge, clean and very comfortable with everything I could possibly need. Only slight issue was the tv functionality wasn't great, a few channels didn't work and casting wasn't working at all, but nothing major. If you are here to see the sights of oxford it's perfectly positioned for walking, public transport, shops, even a cinema. Lots of restaurants very close and the Ashmoleum is directly opposite. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, thank you"
