The Store

The Store

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed at the Store for a long weekend in a standard room. The hotel is beautifully decorated and well located in the centre of Oxford. We took advantage of the gym and complementary sauna session due to the wet weather. Facilities are small but very well maintained. The breakfast is from a standard menu, including fried breakfasts/pancakes. I have some allergies and they were happy to adjust to accommodate. However, the allergen labelling and options could have been better, as they just removed items from the choices and the continental options were not clearly labelled. Overall a lovely visit, would come back when it is sunnier to make the most of the roof terrace."

10/10 Excellent
"Upon arrival, a friendly receptionist greeted us and checked us in with no hassle. The hotel is very much a place to sleep and shower. We booked a double room, which is quite small and fits the bed with just enough space to walk around it. Storage is minimal, with under-bed storage large enough for two backpacks, and there is no wardrobe. The bathroom was clean, the AC was sufficient, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel if you simply need a quick overnight stay, as it offers good value for money."
